Does it sound complicated?
Between September 27 and November 13, 2001, Färjestad won 16 straight games, which is the record for a streak in a season or if you want to say games in the regular season.
The following year it was again Färjestad that built a suite.
Between January 31 and September 24, 2002, the team won 17 straight games, including the playoffs, the longest streak spanning more than one season.
Already after the first period this evening, the match felt decided.
Then it was 3-0 to SAIK.
- We are forward-leaning and don't let go of anything, said Max Lindholm, who started the scoring with a half-hit that meant 1-0 after 6.30 to C More.
He got the puck on goal despite three HV players standing next to him after a pass behind the goal from Andreas Wingerli – a fitting image for HV's passivity.
- He finds me with a nice pass and the shot is probably not that good but it went in and that's what counts, said Lindholm.
Teenage goalkeepers at Skellefteå
Despite the 16th straight victory, there is a goalkeeping crisis in Skellefteå.
Linus Söderström, who recently held a record zero of 204 minutes and 47 seconds, was absent due to illness.
Since before, meritorious Gustaf Lindvall is out for the rest of the season.
Today, 18-year-old Alexander Hellnemo had to stand.
In the booth stood 19-year-old Viktor Stålberg, ready to jump in.
During the day, the three-time Stanley Cup winner Niklas Hjalmarsson had been presented as the new captain for HV71.
And so the team had one of the worst periods of the season.
- It is not a height.
It looks like in the table, they are up there and we are down there.
It's not one or two guys who have to step up, it's the whole team.
It was not a good period.
We were one step behind and have to go up a level.
It doesn't help to depress.
We have to look each other in the eye and make it better, it can't get worse, said Hjalmarsson.
But the slide just continued.
HV collected its seventh straight loss.
