SaiPa is still at the top of the league table, but the last few matches have not been just about gaining weight from victory to victory. The balance of the last four matches is one win and four points.
On Wednesday night, the Pelicans, who were trying to make a move, beat SaiPa’s hit 6–3.
– We were behind the whole game, SaiPa coach Raimo Helminen commented at the press conference.
– There were few passengers today.
According to Helminen, “Pelsu was really good”.
– The numbers are like that if you can’t play and defend well enough. It just wasn’t enough.

The Pelicans’ fall season has gone smoothly. On Monday, the head coach Juhamatti Yli-Junnila and skipper Miika Roine announced on the club’s X account in the published videothat “the talks have now been held”.
The SaiPa victory brought at least temporary light. The previous three-point pot was heated on November 24.
– Now we will be measured after this, Yli-Junnila reminded at the press conference.
– Today we took a great win from the top of the league, but what then? Will we have the same activities tomorrow as we did at the beginning of the week? Is it on Friday, Saturday and throughout the rest of the season?
Despite the tasty loss to SaiPa, the Pelicans are still below the qualification line. On the other hand, TPS, which manages the last playoff spot, is only five points away, having played two matches more.
