- We begin to notice road – Aftenposten

Dead battery did not stop the Oilers. During the one turned over a minute series loss leader to win.

Stavanger Oilers – Frisk Asker 03.02

As there remained five minutes into the match the visitors led by Asker 2-1 and looked to be heading for a surprise victory in the DNB Arena. But then the Oilers enough once up the qualities which now makes them winners of the last eight straight games. Call it luck, call it flow. But this Oilers team finds new ways to win.

– Featured on a mesterlag is well that it wins on bad days. We lacked splash in this fight. Fresh is good, and when we are not playing against our best, it becomes difficult. We bring victory and rejoice that we have property to tilt even matches our way, says Ruben Smith – as with several good saves kept the Oilers in the game.

– found a way to win

When four minutes remained of the third period, Henrik Solberg found out that he was going to put the puck on goal from long range. The shot was not hard, it was not very well placed, but it found its way through traffic in front of goal and past a very good Niklas Dahlberg in healthy goals. Thus the Oilers lower your shoulders slightly and attack the last few minutes with 2-2 on the scorecard. 74 seconds after the equalizer set the winning goal behind Dahlberg. Josh Soares shot from the left wing and the dot shot 3-2 up in the nearest corner.

– We start enough to notice road a bit mentally. There have been many battles in the past. But we found a way to win and the characteristics of a good team, says Dan Kissel.

– We started well, but then we fell a little in performance. Strong worked very well and made it hard for us. I was not confident at all that we should turn it over, but it kept just to win, says Henrik Solberg – now standing with pretty four goals in the first ten league games this season.

Got the start they would have

Oilers were aggressive from the start in the first period, they were 1-0 and looked to be in control of the game. Aided by his newly composed primarily put pressure on the Oilers Fresh and created numerous chances.

– It’s fun to get much ice age and contribute offensively with points. I like the offensive ranks, says Stian Høygård, who was very involved in the game’s first goal. He may not have been the architect behind but got quoted an assist when he shot hard and low from a good position. It did not Niklas Dahlberg in Fresh goal keeping and the rebound was Kristian Forsberg good that fought the puck over the line.

After scoring fell Oilers really in performance. Frisk Asker took over, played smart defensively and contrast well against an Oilers team that gave away the puck too often in the middle zone. After the first period the score is 1-1. After two periods led Fresh 2.1. Fully deserved after a middle period where the visitors were the better team.

– It was almost like that Strong deserved to win this, based on the effort they put down. We could not match them quite there, and then we got a tough journey. We started admittedly good, but then we fell a little and began to make it difficult for ourselves. Luckily we turn the last minute. It has been a real run in the past, and I understand that some of the players are a bit tired mentally. It is I myself also. The cost of having to prepare for new games all the time, says Petter Thoresen.
