According to Sam Hallam, only half of his speeches were clicked.
Before Tuesday’s World Cup preliminary group match between Finland and Sweden, the head coaches Jukka Jalonen and By Sam Hallam sparks were set in between.
MTV Urheilu reported that Hallam said that Sweden will fill the wings because Finland “does not have a passing game”. After the morning ice, Finland’s head coach Jalose was asked for a comment about this, but he did not go to take laps.
After Sweden’s match in the shootout, Hallam, on the other hand, smiled and told IL what he thought the whole thing was about.
Did you try to disturb the Finnish team?
– You work in the media. You know how these go. Only half of what I said was taken. In the same interview, I also said that Finland is a great team, it has a lot of great players and experience on and off the ice. Finland is a brilliantly coached team, and they are the reigning world champions and Olympic champions. They know how to win hockey games, Hallam said.
Hallam called the whole mini-commotion a funny thing.

Defense to value
Regarding Tuesday’s match, Hallam was of the opinion that Finland was the better team in the field game.
– They found a way to come from behind and put pressure on us. I think they spent more time in the offensive zone than we did. On the other hand, we defended the goal line really well, Hallam said.
Sweden’s head coach summed up his own performance so that the defense worked, but the offensive game should be improved.
Hallam hopes that winning the match against Finland will give the team confidence.
– We know that we have a lot of skill in the team.
Even last season, Tre Kronor played foolishly in the opinion of many. Hallam jumped at the helm for this season, and the team’s package has looked smarter.
There is something of the same world of thought with the Lions.
– We both respect that in order to win you have to be able to defend.
