 SHL, Finals, Game #5

 

Växjö Lakers are the SHL 2021 Champions! 

 

In game #5 they beat once again Rögle coming from behind.

 

The hosts in fact started very well, kept an high pace and scored the opening goal towards the end of the first period.

 

In the second stint, however, the home team took control of the game and midway through the period found the game-tying goal thanks to guess who? Pontus Holmberg, obviously! who took advantage of a power play situation.

 

At the beginning of the 3rd period, the decisive play happened. It was Fredrik Karlström that scored the game winner with a flashy counter that surprised the entire defense of the men in white & green.

 

When Jack Drury added another goal to Växjö's total with less than 8 minutes to play, the game (and the season) was basically over.

 

Rögle tried the desperate mode, playing without their goalie and using 6 men to attack, but it was quite easy for the home team to score more goals with the empty net.

 

Finally, the final whistle was blown and the party started in Växjö.

 

Game #5: Växjö Lakers - Rögle BK 6-2 (series score: 4-1)

Lukko Rauma won again. 2 goals in last 2 matches for Pavol Skalický, assist also for Kristián Pospíšil today, that is good for us. we really need scorers !!!

Rauman Lukko! Last time they won in 1963! So happy that they won, but i'm also suprised that Raimo Helminen managed to lead a group of young players straight to the finals! Good for him! It's always a big question, whenever former players are hired as head coaches.

Next season, KooKoo Kouvola head coach will be Olli Jokinen...
