The start-up specialist will move to Brynäs next season.
Sentteri Hannes Björninen, 26, is a nasty opponent. At KHL, he was the best starter of the season.
He is also number one in the ongoing World Cup. The statistics are staggering, as the Lahti resident has scraped the puck with 71.62 percent certainty for his own.
The peak of the tournament was experienced on Friday. Björninen lost only 16 percent of the 16 starts, leaving 93.75.
– On Friday, we just talked about the fact that there has never been a 100% result. There has always been at least one loss. There are a couple of single-loss games from his career, Björninen laughed after winning Austria.
The workload was again at the expected level on Saturday. Six of the judge’s drops remained his own, three went to the opponent.

The composite breaks
Starts can be hard twists. Aftonbladet recently reported that Björninen’s special skills cost the club around SEK 100,000 a year, or just under € 12,000.
– At worst, he must have broken 50 rackets a season. I don’t know exactly now, many people go this season. Yes, it revolves around 40-50.

– Neither of those racket prices have been acknowledged. It’s an important tool, and if it breaks, you have to take a new one.
The issue came up in the Swedish media because Björninen will play next season Mikko Mannerin coaching in Brynäs.
No top novice reveals their secrets. Björninen’s skill is based on a wild repetition, but small gimmicks and details separate the real peaks.
Could you even open up a little to why you’re so good at it?
– As you get more years, you will learn to feel strong. Personally, I trust my own style with which I pull. Sometimes I also check out what the guy is doing, but my own style is most important.
There are also differences in the dripping styles of judges. So far, the line of the World Cup has pleased, as statistics show.
– Of course, when different leagues become judges, the style also varies. Now, however, there have been no major differences.

A strong overall, although no more than three goals came. This is how Björninen summed up Austria. It is really difficult to make Finland, which is exactly implementing its own plan, fluctuate – let alone be surprised.
– We could have scored more goals. However, Austria was dangerous all the time and was not allowed places to attack.
– There were even long periods of attack, but it was not possible to create so many top places because Austria defended the center very closely. Our second goal was the kind of rebound we were looking for.
