His groin hurt, but the young star was not injured.
Joakim Kemell had a hard time against Slovakia. Finland won 9–3. AOP
Slovak Adam Sykora drove Joakim Kemelli ugly with a knee tackle at the end of the opening set. The situation looked bad, but luckily Paloka’s man didn’t hurt himself.
– Those are absolutely pointless tackles. Of course there may be. But the player decides for himself if he wants to drive to the end. It doesn’t happen by accident, it’s the player’s responsibility, Kemell explained the situation to Iltalehti.
The attacker did not need medical treatment after the attack.
– There was luck in that accident. I managed to dodge the leg a bit. That blow to the groin hurt a bit, Kemell said.
Operating in the first court, Kemell scored 0+2 points and has scored a total of 2+5 power points in the WC tournament.
Kasper Simontaival, Kasper Puutio and Aatu Räty got three points in the match.
Finland overthrew Slovakia 9–3. The lions scored no less than five power play goals.
Canada challenges
On Tuesday at 01 Finland meets Canada. It’s a tough game ahead.
– It will be a tough game. We are ready to take blows and give blows.
– I like the physical game. It will probably be a tough game in this tournament. There are talented guys there and it’s one of the toughest teams in this tournament, says Kemell.
Canada has won three games and scored 21 goals in them. Defense is a possible weakness of the host team of the World Cup.
