Hockeyallsvenskan’s strongest attack on hockey: Sweden’s rustiest goalkeeper.
I believed in double digits when Vita Hästens Christian Engstrand, 32, made her first game of the season.
Still, it almost only stopped Jonathan Dalhén & Co in Timrå.
Then you can also fix a match.
Timrå with a Swedish record of sixteen consecutive victories against a Vita Hästen who had only won one of the last eight.
And then 3-1 to the White Horse. Far too.
It is by far the biggest hit of the season so far. Makes Björklöven’s 3-5 at home against Väsby and the switch and 4-8 against Mora fade away.
But Vita Hästens skräll has such a simple explanation, that all gaming companies can sit still and not trigger new alarms unnecessarily.
Christian Engstrand.
Goalkeeper, 32.
The most unlikely match hero of all on the ice.
The last time he played a match was on March 6 and against Timrå himself in the last round of allsvenskan 2019/20 hockey.
Then in Kristianstad and in one of the eight games he had to stand that season.
You can’t be more rusty.
But tonight it seemed he was living on bricks and sealant before he returned.
He was pure wall.
He was left alone in a shower of pucks in a second period, where Timrå won the shots at 23-4, but Vita Hästen the period at 2-1.
Östgötarna responded very well to both 1-0 (Marcus Eriksson) and 2-1 through Marcus Fagerudd with just 1.24 left to play.
And in the third, Timrå looked more surprised than I’ve seen all season and returnee Marcus Eriksson was able to score his second goal and 3-1 as I sat down and waited for 2-2.
Even Jonathan Dahlén ran out of points tonight.
Yes, the entire White Horse should be praised. They created the touch of a feat together, they sacrificed, they broke up and when the final signal was, they had truly deserved this victory.
And Timrå learns after having experienced his own Belarus.
But they still have the record of sixteen consecutive victories.
Has AIK awakened?
AIK won again, beating Almtuna 5-0.
The biggest win of the season and the third in a row.
Has the star-studded AIK finally awakened?
Possibly.
But the three winners have returned home in court and against quite human opposition.
The big test comes on Friday, when AIK goes up to Umeå to meet Björklöven.
I don’t want to miss that game.
Björklöven is likely to be furious after suspicions of match fixing and the flat match against Mora that started it all.
The whole affair appears to be over, as there does not appear to be any suspicion of crime by the police.
It appears that the odds deviations that started it all are due to human error from one of the betting companies. So, a lot of essence for nothing in that case.
Really nice if it were that simple.
I still think that it is more or less impossible to play matches at the Allsvenskan level.
These are televised matches that can then be reviewed in the slightest mistake.
And with limited playtime, it should be difficult to influence a match as a single player, since you only play every third or fourth change.
Possibly later as a goalkeeper, the only player to hit the ice every 60 minutes.
At the same time, it must be said that Björklöven did not make a coup to avoid all speculation in the match against Mora.
They were so incomparably lousy and undisciplined that it was pure Christmas Eve for all who were looking for mistakes in that match.
The AIK also passed Modo on the table, when the Ångermanlanders fell to the last Kristianstad 4-5.
Johan Harju made his debut and had a passing point. But there was no Harju effect.
“Two pancakes aloft”
This week’s quote comes from Västerås striker Anthon Eriksson in the local VLT newspaper. During Sunday’s game, someone from Väsby’s booth yelled that he would kill him in the next game.
Eriksson’s answer to the question of whether he was concerned.
– I’d like to see you try. It only measures two pancakes.
Nice with a bit of humor in the midst of seriousness.
