Some reflections...

Well, i had it all planned out, didn`t i? Yes, except for one thing.
The one thing that hooked me to Umeå, floorball.
It did not really hit until my last game working for the Dalen Ladies, which i had done for some 2-3 years (not quite sure, actually).
Before the game started they had me come out on the gamefloor to recieve a game-shirt which the whole team had signed and applauded me for my work.
At that point i really did not want to move at all....and still i miss them all immensly (hey, is that the way to write it?). UIK & Malmø FF i can always see on TV when it comes to that, Redhawks have their live-report over the net...but Dalen is a different thing, everyone who worked with them are such a wonderful team. I will go see Dalen`s away-games as often as i can.....but they are the one team that i will really MISS. Actually, i have missed them since even before moving. It just did not hit me before that very day. I wish you all the best girls, and hope to see you often ! It is hard to put words on feelings like these...





Thanks to Jimmy Halldin for the picture !

Black weekend

Dalen lost both games against Iksu in the endgame and are out for this year. But we will be back !!!!

Redhawks lost for the fourth times against Røgle this season, this time away in the endgame. Even if that loss was VERY painful, all it is not over....if we win against Mora home today so......

Anything with the word "back", especially in a relatively funny way ( i am refering to words now)..

For a starter. i while playing floorhockey this friday i seems to have strained my back..AGAIN. Not as bad as last time, thank (deity of choice) for THAT. Now i just have problems with sitting for a longer while...better alreday. So, the naprapath again this friday.

Just got home from watching Dalen play against Endre in Gammliahallen, after they lost by 4-2 (2-2 after the second period). A close game, and Dalen tried to take out the keeper after the 16th minute, since Endre had goaled in the 44th minute. Endre then had (if i remember correcty) 3 hot chances to goal, and in the fourth they succeded. The game looked alot like the game against Täby yesterday (also home), two teams that really wanted to win, and there was very much will and less technique. We won against Täby and lost against Endre. Now we MUST beat the crap out of Skellefteå to get to the endgames.
Players to mention: .Isabell Krantz, Maria Bäckström and Anna Renström.


The last (and decisive) game in the series is next saturnday away against Skellefteå. I am seriously thinking about going there. I know their equipment manager, and i mentioned it to him...and he offered himself to talk to the coach to see if i could go with the team-bus. Feels kind of weird to do so, i must confess, if it goes through

Whohoooo !!!!!

Dalen beat Falun on their Dalarna weekend-tour..after following each other up `til 4-4, in the last period Dalen did no less than 3 goals..thus ending with the result 4-7. Frida Eriksson was responsible for no less than 4 of the goals....great work !!!!

If they beat KAIS Mora tomorrow things will look real good for the end of the series, i am looking forward to their homegames next weekend (more than usual, that is !) :)
Way to go girls !! :)


On the other hand, hockey.
Yesterday i was following Oskarshamn IK against Redhawks through their website.
I was really nervous after the defeat against Rögle in the Skåne-derby last wednesday. Also it was Lasse Pirjtäs first game in 10 months after his surgery.
Well, to keep it short..we made the first goal...but after that the penalties just kept coming in. A complete disaster, 4-2 after the first two periods. Even i began to despair...Then it all happened...we came out as a completely new team.....4-3 and 4-4 followed. I spoke to Madde (fellow Redhawks-supporter) on MSN during the game, and while totally into it i said that if Lasse scored ,or in some way won the game for us, then i would buy his replica-shirt...with name and all.
And as soon as i hade written that; Lasse stole the puck, passed it to Mikko Eloranta who sent it to Ville Nieminen who scored !!!!!!!!!!!
So now a replicaorder have been sent ;)

If you want to follow what happened then watch the last two pages of the gamethread on Redhawks Support forum here as i explain it more (in swedish) there.
