Series Luleå and runner-up Brynäs meet in a thrilling Swedish Championship final in SDHL.
SVT's expert believes that it is the season's best matches that await.
- It will be a crazy cool final that I think Brynäs will be favorites in considering the game they showed.
But it is never possible to remove Luleå from the favorite stamp either.
They have the routine and a team building that has done this several times.
It is a new situation for Brynäs so it is a bit routine towards the tip, she says.
"There must be concern"
Brynäs rushed through the semifinal game against last year's dominant HV71 while Luleå scored zero goals against Djurgården in yesterday's loss and won with "only" 1-0 when the final game was secured today.
Can there be a concern in Luleå?
- There must be a concern there.
Brynäs actually has two but above all a first chain that delivers lots of goals and playing joy above all.
It does not have Luleå, it does not really click in their game.
It comes to the final as a fairly safe and stable team but I think they need to rise to cope with Brynäs intensity and skill.
"Time to abdicate"
Brynäs coach Henrik Glaas says in an interview with SVT Sport that Luleå are favorites and adds:
- They have been dominant in women's hockey for a very long time.
But now it feels like it's time for them to abdicate, says Brynäs coach Henrik Glaas to SVT Sport.
Rooth thinks he can be right.
- Haha, it's very possible.
They have never had a better stroke position and played incredibly good and fun hockey.
