Oskarshamn has had a hard time establishing itself in SHL and during the last 15 rounds the team has been placed under the dash. And it didn't look more promising when you entered a period where you would meet three top teams; Luleå, Färjestad and Frölunda.
But the fact is that they defeated both Luleå and Frölunda at home, where the team scored a total of nine goals and scored three on the two matches.
- If we want to be in the race, we have to win our home games. It is easier said one done but now we have won two and that is where we have to be.
In the meeting with Frölunda, the team fired six shots in the first period and scored two goals. On three shots in the beginning of the second period, they managed to score another goal and Frölunda's coach Roger Rönnberg changed goalkeeper. It ended with a match that ended with Oskarshamn scoring five goals on 21 shots and winning with a clear 5-1.
- It's a strange job I have. Two days ago I stood and was almost teary-eyed about the players' morale and efforts against Luleå (CHL), says Roger Rönnberg.
- We have a hotter will and cooler in crucial situations. We have a strong group that is humble and knows how to play, says Åhlund.
