Sami Kapanen did not beautify the situation. The Pelicans experienced the perfect humiliation in the third part of the Playout series in Lahti. The Jukuri crushed the Pelican Parp 8-3 in the ice rink and moved to a 2-1 lead in the match.
The Pelicans whistled 13 two -minute cooling. In addition to the key defender Wyatt kalykuk took a shower command from the head -to -head tackle.
The Jukuri hit all eight of their goals with overwhelming.
– With that number of minutes you can’t win or play hockey. As a team, we focused on quite irrelevant things. Everything practically slipped into it, head coach Kapanen started at a press conference.
– We still have a lot of work on the spiritual side. I have to take responsibility for not managing the team for the match.
The Pelicans went to the match as a pre -favorite. The Jukuri was the last of the regular season.
Now, however, the situation of last spring’s finalist Pelicans is gloomy.
– Let’s just say that this is about to end. Things that weigh the mind slow down and take us in the wrong direction. Profit capacity is non -existent at the moment, Kapanen continued.
He joined the Jukuri colleague Jonne Virtanen I say that the result of a single match doesn’t matter so much in the match series. But there was still a concern in Kapanen’s speech.
– Only profits mean. But the pain increases as the nerve control fails. I have to take a lot of responsibility for it. The team was in a bad spiritual space during the evening. At the latest during the first round, you should see what the judging line is. The number of ice rinks made the opponent’s game quite easy.
The Playout Series continues on Friday in Mikkeli. Four wins is enough to secure the league for next season.
The loser of the series will have to qualify for his place against the Mestis Master.
