Rauma Lukko took the second attachment to the semi-final as it overthrew Sport on Thursday evening in Vaasa 4-1.
The historic match became bitter for Sport as he bent and managed to score only one goal.
Thursday night was the first quarter-finals played in Sport’s club history.
The fierce folk of the fierce Red Shirt Public Sea was ruined by a close away team, the last lock of which was the goalkeeper Joni Ortiowho fought 18 shots.
Ortio praised the Vaasa audience.
– This will not make this finer. Because of these games, the whole regular season is being worked out. That we get to play big things in the spring, Ortio said in the Vaasa Ice Hall in the rumble of the battle.
– It was a great atmosphere. It’s great that the group is moving. After all, it’s finer to play when there is noise in the hall.
Awkward moments

Ortio, who also fought in the NHL, was the most important individual in his team in the latter tens of the opening round when Sport fell a handicap.
The man himself was happy with the performance of the Rauma people, but also found much to improve.
– Yes, we started well. It was possible to wait for Sport to get started at the start and thus try to gain power for himself, Ortio started.
– The first ten were well managed and we got two goals. They came in a pretty easy relationship with what we created. After our first ice, the opponent got power and we started making mental mistakes too much.
Sport’s shock sites were just in the latter ten of the opening round, but Lukko and Ortio lasted. The second and third rounds were good leadership from the routine team.
Tough gaming
The lock fell the eagle shirts on Wednesday evening in Rauma, 6-2. At that time Luke’s paint was guarded by an American John Lethemon.
The goalkeeper does not include drama, although only one goalkeeper often plays in the playoffs.
– In good time I knew I was playing another game, Ortio said.
With the head coach of the lock Tomi Lämsä It is a good situation when he has two winning goalkeepers at his fingertips.
The hot question is now, who will play in the third game next Monday. There is no answer to that Ortio.
– Let’s go game at a time here. In this way, we have now played the spring season.
Ortio sees a lot of positive in the setup.
– We both get to play quite fresh and there is no constant load. This is how we can train.
Unruly
Lock leads the match 2-0 and plays a third match on Monday at home. The team is therefore well in the oven, but Ortio emphasizes the temper.
– There is room for improvement in every game. Requirements and price for profit are constantly rising. For example, a icebreaker is one that we need to improve. We sat down too much on the ice, which allowed the opponent to get a grip on the game.
Lock took four small seconds in the Vaasan match.
The lock is in a rare situation after the victory of Thursday night. It gets to a three -day flute in the middle of the playoff series.
During the “break,” the team does nothing abnormal.
