What an offense defenseman, he tries always to serve the puck to put you on the net. He takes the risk to fall into icing but is with that speed that you can create the good chance. High level vision

I have seen a team at least in the third period after the usual bad start. Close to be a playoff game at the end with intensity and energy on both sides. Was important for me to show ilves at home can do whatever it wants, also returning after a 0-3 streak. It’s clear all these things now...

An iconic player goes away, one I put a lot of hope to resolve sometime difficult games, one of the best defensemen of the CHL regular season of this year. It’s not few thing but also a sign Ilves is upgrading every day (or at least try to do) its level if there’s not enough space for a def like...

More focus, more concentration… we are getting to the playoff mode in our last games and if we play as a team the potential is probably the first of the league. Stay tuned

I agree with what you say. It’s getting an opportunity, clearly it’s a very good addition, my thought was more than a defenseman like Friman f.i. would have done more to our cause, considering goalie duo is good but… not so good to say them “think only at save because anyway someone of our...

2 cons: when you get the best defenseman you clearly say to the rest of the teams we are here to win this year. But -this is my personal opinion- wouldn’t have been better to search for solidity behind? We have a very good offensive potential but to win the championship we need a balance

Good game, great atmosphere, home win. What could we ask of better?

No frills game for now but what is enough to be on advantage. Let’s continue in this way

Compliments to Lukko. The fact they ruled over Pardubice demonstrates probably were our weaknesses that showed Pardubice too strong. This is a lesson that shouldn’t be forgotten, if we want to be a winning team we need to demonstrate this when this counts

You can lose a game, you can lose a derby starting from 3-0, this is not a shame. But… you cannot play some PP in the last period just as the only important thing is the time goes ahead. A 5 vs 3 for us is just 2 minuts of calm, no guys… this doesn’t work in this way. You have to fire and try to...

I totally agree with your points. For me it has missed the “last step” culture, you cannot miss a 5vs3 in these games. This as a whole team but also in some key players. We need to “learn” that killer instinct that is the mark of winning teams. This will be a point also in playoff. For me these...

Congrats to Pardubice, they deserved to go to next round considering both games. Tonight we have tried, not always in the most effective way but at least we have tried. On the European level we pay the better physical attitude of opponents like this and this made the difference. We paid also -...

Tonight let’s show what mean to be a lynx!

I have not seen much, only the first period. The impression I got we weren’t be able to elevate the speed of playing and execution tonight, Pardubice itself was terrible at the beginning but it was enough to put some pressure and kilograms vs our defense to create chances, score and win (with...

Irrespective of the lacks of the competition that I know there are, irrespective of who consider strange the decision to give to Pardubice the advantage of the home game, irrespective of everything, tomorrow there will be probably the best opponent (with Farjestad and Tappara) so far showed at...

I would say no surprise this evening, considering Innsbruck plays with a lot of energy at home. Trinec partially over the expectations, interesting the return because the Czech team has won 2/3 of the road games this season. What happened in Lahti seems a proof of an unprofessional way to manage...

I think probably an abo for the regular season games on a convenient price (plus some options for the playoff round) should have been a good idea. There’s no clear market at this stage for these games and playing with 4/5k attendees in the hall is not a big deal. It could even make sense to...

Bought my ticket for the first round home game, now we need only to respect the tradition! :)

For us anyway an advantage, theorethically we seem to be an away team this season

Potentially - if the player is on a decent shape - one of the best pick of this year. Offensively it’s a machine
