TPS won the fourth match in front of their enchanted home crowd with a purely 3-0 lead and moved into a 3-1 lead in the match series. The final place will be interrupted for the people of Turku on Friday in Tampere.
– The numbers don’t lie, that’s how much was followed today. When there is zero in our column, then less often you leave the trough as the winner, Ilves head coach Jouko Myrrä stated.
– Nothing but ahead and on Friday in the home hall back to the game, Myrrä, who held a compact press conference, decided.
Experienced central striker Petri Kontiola was candid in an interview with C More.
“You have to find the character, it’s up to you,” said the frog, disappointed.
– Yes, we should create a little more places. Even my own performance needs to be improved a lot. Not enough level at the moment, he continued to be self-critical.
– The torque is hard and the margins are small. Yes, the fight continues here.
Ilves, who started in the playoffs from the third square, will play with a knife in his throat on Friday night in the Nokia arena.
– Everything in the game and then let’s see if the games continue or not, Kontiola lined up.
After Friday, Ilves’ games will continue in either the semi-finals or the bronze medal match. The final place now looks far away, but anything is still possible.
