Game report BIKO - HEL ry

HEL ry - BIKO 7-2

6-1 Jussi (Artur)
6-2 Kalle (Craig)

I seriously can't remember, when was the last time we won against HEL. They play the kind of skilled and calm passing game that is poison to us. The first period was fairly uneventful but in the second they really got an upper hand for awhile.

It was a fun game, nevertheless, and being the last of this season, it was good to finish it with a nice fight for a third goal right until the end. In the third period our pressure started biting them, probably because of lack of players on their side. They were anyway a bit too far ahead at that time.

Against skilled team like HEL there's really not much else to do than take the ball, and don't give it back. When they control the ball, getting the run of the game back to ourselves is extremely difficult. Try to break the passes, and when doing yours, make sure your passes are aimed where you can actually see someone. There were a few wishful passes from our side, ending in the mid rink to a wrong guy.

All in all, we did not have that much time to concentrate on passing, and our defense could have been a little more vigilant, but it ended with a good feel and nice effort from our team. We got a new player in there, Craig, who did a convincing job in the defense. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the excellent season, I hope many of you can find the time for the next one as well.
