I have to admit that it was nerve-wracking, HV coach Niklas Eriksson tells TV4.
HV71 had not won a game for more than a month when the referee dropped the puck at Husqvarna Garden.
Despite an early 0–2 deficit, HV71 managed to turn the game around and take a 4–2 lead in the third period. But victory was still a long way off. First, HV conceded a penalty, then Lucas Lagerberg cross-checked an opponent in the face, earning a match penalty and a five-minute major.
It's stressful, and the guys sometimes have a hard time keeping their heads cool, Eriksson says.
Despite being short-handed, HV survived Timrå's onslaught and scored only their second three-point win of the season.
What do you think?
