Derby wins never mean just three points, when teams like Modo and Timrå meet there is always something more at stake.
It is like a fight between brothers raised in a hundred placed on a 60 meter long ice rink.
What happens there, between the two goals, always weighs more when teams with a rivalry inherited by generations are placed on opposite sides of the court.
Modo and Timrå is the derby with many names, but it is also the derby where the stories of the past triumph over the battles of today.
When red meets white, the quarterfinals of old are remembered. When clubs were at the top of Swedish ice hockey, and they weren’t housed in a league that will always be put in the other room when SHL gets bigger and more luxurious.
These are the input values that teams must be able to handle when facing each other.
So it doesn’t matter that Modo is in crisis at the end of Hockeyallsvenskan and Timrå breaks records at the top.
A derby lives its own life, and that is why the outcome of such a match can set new directions for an entire association.
Modo’s victory was founded by a team that seemed to have cleared the air and decided to forget what it had been and look ahead.
So it doesn’t matter if an already injured team includes another player on the injured list. Tobias Åhström’s knee joint was ugly and should have resulted in a penalty for Leon Lerebäck.
There, Modo could have sunk even further into his crisis, but the judges’ error of judgment seemed to create an even stronger feeling for the world. The energy that was born from that sequence pushed Ö Bay’s team forward.
The artist who has become a leader
Timrå is undoubtedly more skilled and better this season, but the will and fighting spirit can sometimes break the quality.
Modo was responsible for the strongest warrior effort of the winter, but also a solid one. delay If you win hockey games, it will always contain its heroes.
Anthony Peters showed his best side and with the middle of the season he played the best draft of sports director Fredrik Glader (Adam Rockwood looks exciting by the way, and should reportedly be a very cheap signing).
Peter’s goalkeeping game is overshadowed by the golden pig of the Modes fans.
The one who came home.
He was in front of the barricades.
Patrik Karlkvist is no longer just an offensive-minded artist, he is now a Galleon figure for an entire association seeking faith in the future. It has been a light in an eternal tunnel for Modo this season.
As he plays and sacrifices himself, the SHL door should open wider and wider with each passing match. You have earned other adventures in your hockey life, if you now choose to exit Modo after this season.
Whatever a derby win means at the start of a new year, Modo’s journey to the playoffs remains long and arduous. It is not even certain that they will get there. Efforts so far have pointed to something else.
But victories over arch rivals can do things with a team. It can make players understand that the logo on the chest is actually bigger than the name on the back.
Whatever spring offers, Modo will have to return after the 2020/2021 crown winter, and the team must ensure that the point against Timrå is not just a Pyrrhic victory.
They have the opportunity to show it again in less than a day.
Like Timrå, he has a chance to get revenge and show which Västernorrland team is on the throne this season.
