Kapanen: A big win

Lahti now has three league games, the first of which is on Thursday in Lahti.

– The Pelicans are still surprisingly volatile. Still, no Pelicans goals were knocked out by the Jokers, which could have managed the game quite well after two rounds, expert Nättinen analyzes.

– Needless to give the Jokers (gift) goals. They have a seam to win today, says Virtanen.

A split third round

At the beginning of the third round, the active Jokers received long attacks on the opponent’s area, and the Pelicans were lagging behind. The guests game first went to survive.

In the future, the Pelicans got a grip and put the Jokers tight during their long reel management periods. However, there was no real top spot.

– We always think about entities and game shows. Juhis has been under heavy load lately. Now this solution was decided, Dufva Aaltonen explained.
