HIFK has a big point of reflection ahead. The humiliation served by SaiPa is only seen at the top of the iceberg.
Supporters’ faith in HIFK is shaken. Matti Raivio/AOP
– This is hard in the sense that this is now annual. But when this has been followed so much and how bad that thing was, this was not a surprise, so the HIFK semi -final has been supported since 1979 Toni Kuisma.
So Kuisma, who was reached by telephone, had been able to mentally prepared for the hifk fall. He calculated a 40 % chance to go to the continuation.
– But that it was such a bar, it was a surprise. Nothing worked in the game. The spirit is lost and things are confused.
Slow, slower, hifk
Ville Peltonen HIFK stayed on SaiPa’s feet. The semi -final series was crossed directly in four matches. Tomi Natri/AOP
Kuisman’s opinion was united by many who responded to the Iltalehti survey. The blame finger shows the fourth time the team coach Ville Peltonen In addition to the sports leadership.
In four consecutive SaiPa losses, it was not unclear which team was on a fresher foot in traffic.
– The team is built too slow. That is, this club has not stayed at the heart of the hockey development, the game has accelerated so much, Kuisma sees and gives you a remission of sin for last summer For Janne Pesonenwho tried to repair a casting failure during the season.
– This is Salme (Tobasformer sports director) and a team assembled by Peltonen.
In the big picture, failure is found on the conveyor belt. HIFK, which operates on the top of the league year after year, has won only two championships (1998 and 2011) since the 1983 Golden Festival.
The ultimate culprits are not individual coaches and sports leaders, Kuisma thinks and highlights the club’s board.
– Sports knowledge has lacked club management. It has been the biggest flaw.
Full -size
The responses of the IL survey include a deep disappointment in the long -term operation of HIFK.
Some say about their protest spirit.
– IFK has always been and will always be my gang, but now the measure is starting to fill. Already after last season’s farce, I made a heavy, but I think the only right decision in this situation. I will not step on Nordis even before Peltonen is separated and a big change in the organization. It starts to be full of this good brother -in -law, the only goal of which is to go business. Fans are not cared for, however, they pay the salary of these big gentlemen, the nickname en gång Alttid blows.
The nickname Petrell2011 says he was an active visitor to the hall, but the situation has changed.
-This season, there was no interest in about five games for the whole season, including one playoff match. I went to the hall once. IFK status is sad: team government actions signal that athletic success is not the main priority and mediocrity is acceptable. Or maybe a severe underperformation in terms of team financial resources is okay.
The nickname Avgålla says that only major changes guarantee his or her interest in his own company.
– If IFK is not going now off-season The door with players, coaching and management, so the club shows a complete lack of interest in success. I will probably not be left in person next season if the organization is not properly ventilated.
Culmination of mediocrity
When HIFK announced its new strategy last spring, Chairman of the Board Jaakko Eskola Self -critical stated that the club had fallen into its activities to arrogance.
The nickname Tekno-Kekko’s comment could now be replaced by odorlessness.
– IFK is a mediocre club -role -played mediocre club leading by mediocre talents that achieves mediocre results with mediocre game performances and mediocre ambition. TPS official disc is not dead. It lives and can thickly at the Helsinki IFK office and on ice. One difference between the clubs is. TPS won the championships.
