On that final 4 vs 5 we could collapse. But something has happened… and there i have seen the force of the team that doesnt want to go on hols. From this we have to start on monday and from a big away support of our fans travelling to kuopio!

A little improvement has been done on attitude. Leaving the tactic to more expert than me the target is this… we should want to win more than them. Each player has to carry on more responsability. No fear, play simple and be direct to the fucking goal!

2 things. The recipe to win is as easy as difficult to implement for us: 1) Playoffs have started. Get the foil out and use the spade, it will not be enough the foil with a team with leadership as KaIpa 2) Malek it’s your moment First one is the most important.

And… this way KaIPa will play anyway 2 games more than us. Let’s see how it goes

Thanks for all the replies! I asked because i had considered Malek slightly better in RS, and Pavlat had not his best night in last RS game (completely not supported by the team btw). So I was a bit surprised on game 1. Nevermind saying Tommy had seen what I didnt :)

Sorry for the dumb question, not always easy to me to get all the infos. After - as common in Finland - a 50 vs 50 RS with Malek, has our trainer explained why he decided for pavlat in the playoff?

God save Harry Klingberg! For me with his stick it’s a Potter magician, as easy as tremendously important how he got the puck yesterday in the 2-1 action. He dances on the puck

To win a local serie 4-0 is not a simple thing. Tappara -we know- was not in its best year and for me also with a goalie not at the same level of previous years. But… we have won without excuses, clearly demostrating to have understood from last year defeat (for me a lot is a merit of our...

I will say this final thing: the reason why a team with a winning culture tends to win is because they do not give more than the right value to a win or a loss. The reverse is right at the same time. We come from years of losses so each loss, in particular if unexpected, gives to the Ilves...

To win the regular season was not fundamental itself but today what I wanted to see should have been the eye of the tiger to grab that, even that the regular season crown is a title of wood. We missed the right attitude or the pressure has been too high. Nothing to transform a good regular...

Win to continue to win. Our mantra for today!

Hello everyone, a win on the ice and a win outside the ice as a team with its enthusiasm and the passion of the fans it’s creating something important. Be on away ice and create what happened in the post game it’s something probably will be loved also from neutral people. We are upgrading our...

Hello guys, some time to see the game today. Proud of this team because it has the good attitude and i’m in trouble to speak of any individuals, we are specifically a team and this is the most important thing. Let’s go ahead in this way without thinking at the end of the regular season or the...

A great passion that deserves a great reward. Transform what seen yesterday in something we can carry to… a dream. All compact, all together, all to the victory!

Mixed feeling after this match. Really disappointed how the 5vs3 in the second period has been played, not with the correct attitude to go direct on goal like a team wants to compete at the highest level should do. Stupid also the final penalty, at least klingberg should pay a dinner to...

We are missing something on the road. The ranking is the perfect mirror of our performances. There are good moments and good attitude but also moments where it seems we ruin everything putting less energy and attention when/where we should. Today tappara was the cat and we the mouse: the feeling...

Luxury addition for our team!

Lukas THE KID and we restarted in the right way. Let’s continue tomorrow!

It’s a pity honestly how we are playing. I cannot also say there’s fear in the players like last year, in this second period it’s the quality it’s missing as showed in a 5 vs 4 played without even shooting to the net

Come on guys, it has been a too negative match to be real. We are not the team can win all the games of the first matches but not also the one lost 9-1 in last 2. We are a young team and, consequently of this, an emotional one. Today I have seen on the ice a lot of bad decisions of players were...
