Therefore, goalkeepers do not receive the club back if they lose it
It sometimes happens during a hockey match that the goalkeeper gets rid of his club, who slides away on the ice – perhaps after a rescue, or just a generally tangled situation. Some times no further away than the goalkeeper herself can grasp and pick it up, other times out of reach.
Three Kronor has started the home World Cup in Stockholm with three straight wins. The last triumph came in Prestige meeting with Finland on Monday night – And then the above happened on a couple of occasions.
For example, Finland’s goalkeeper Juuse Saros found himself – in boxplay – guarding the cash register without a club during a fairly long sequence. The same thing also got Jacob Markström in the Swedish goal later to feel.
Common to the two situations In Sweden – Finland, none of the four or five outdoor players shone away to pick up the loosely lying club so that it would then end up in the goalkeeper’s grip.
– No, but it’s pretty stupid for a back to go and pick up my goalkeeper club, and leave another player in front of goal. The reward there is not so great, says Jacob Markström.
– Instead of letting in a goal, I would rather be there without a club.
Neither was it Some of the players in Sweden or Finland who handed over their own club to the goalkeeper – also allowed. However, what is not allowed to « move » in a new club.
– They don’t want our clubs. It is better that we have clubs, and they play but for a minute, says Tre Kronors team captain and back clip Rasmus Andersson.
– If you do not have a damn lot of time, you will not pick it up (the goalkeeper’s club) and give it to him. He solves it himself.
Jacob Markström again, about an outdoor club quality between the posts:
– It is not worthless. It would definitely have been better than not having any at all.
– But Backen’s club is better in the hands of the slopes than in the goalkeeper’s hands. I think most teams and most goalkeepers have come up with it now.
Previously it was enough More focus on quickly getting a club back in the goalkeeper’s grip, Markström reasoned. But is there a trend break to talk about?
Not really.
– It’s been ten years since this trend began, says Markström.
– But it is true that the hill needs the club more, to be able to clear, hit an icing, hook someone or lift the club when there is any goal chance.
For those who in their lives have not acted as a hockey goalkeeper, what is the difference between standing there without their club?
– It is all from balance to positioning for club glove.
– You can’t go out and stop the puck when it comes behind goals if you don’t have a club.
With club in hand or not – It can be stated that Jacob Markström’s introduction to the home championship in Stockholm has been impressive. It is not too big words to call the 35-year-old a match winner against Finland, where the opponents came out in a substantial final research after a late reduction in the third period.
In addition, Markström kept zero in the premiere against Slovakia. In match number two, against Austria, however, it was goalkeeper Samuel Ersson who guarded the cash register.
– It feels good, Markström sums up.
– I think the guys in front of me have done a fantastic job and play really well. It is a start that we build on. I think we get better for each match too, which is important in such a tournament.
