- Nice.

Good response from the players, the main character told C More.

Johan Pennerborn out, Tomas Mitell in.

That was the main headline before Färjestad's meeting with Frölunda in the SHL.

There are quick jerks in top hockey and considering that the former assistant coach of the Chicago Blackhawks - Mitell and head coach Jeremy Colliton was fired in November - only had barely a day to prepare, it is only logical that his program statement seems somewhat tentative.

- To get some kind of fresh start and create some energy in the group.

Take it from there.

Make sure we look a little more like a team, that the team sits together, Mitell said to Färjestad's website before the match.

Otherwise, it was a lot about feelings for the 41-year-old who is originally from Mariestad - an hour and a half drive from Karlstad - and trained Västerås, Mora (assistant) and AIK (head coach) in the hockey allsvenskan.

- Färjestad is my favorite club since I was young.

Fun to be here, damn inspiring, he said.

Showed ball feeling

There was plenty of emotion even on the ice - and the fact is that everything looked better for Färjestad against Frölunda than it did against Skellefteå 48 hours earlier (1-5).

Above all, the newfound intensity resulted in a better defensive.

Färjestad found faster ways out of their own zone and was able to concentrate on attack hockey, which the player material is clearly best suited for.

The home team took the lead when Daniel Viksten showed ball feeling, reacted quickly to a bouncing puck and sent in 1-0 on half volley.

"The association is the largest"

The audience got even more fun when Linus Johansson caught a return from Frölunda goalkeeper Matt Tomkins and shaved in 2-0.

-It is especially when there are changes.

It is never fun when someone is allowed to leave, but the association is the largest and decisions are made after that.

We seem to have learned a lot from the last match anyway.

It is a different body language and more people contribute, Johansson told C More.

When Marcus Nilsson found the right spot in the third period until 3-0, it was clear.

Tomas Mitell got off to a dream start - victory against arch-rival Frölunda before a sold-out home arena.
