Wolverines - Royals 01.08.2021

Helsinki Wolveries otti täydet sarjapisteet sunnuntaina Wasa Royalsia vastaan käydyssä taistelussa. Pisteet eivät tulleet helpolla. Ratkaisua saatiin vasta jatkoajan hyökkäyskilpailun toisen hyökkäysvuoroparin jälkeen 26-20 (6-0).

Hetken jo näytti siltä, että Wasa Royals ottaa korkojen kanssa revanssin viime kauden välieräpelin viimeisen minuutin tappiostaan. Vaasalaiset tasoittivat ottelun, kun pelikellossa oli aikaa jäljellä kaksi sekuntia. Onnistunut lisäpistepotku olisi sinetöinyt voiton Royalsille, mutta Wolverines-puolustus onnistui blokkaamaan Markkus Pylkkäsen yrityksen. Pylkkänen oli onnistunut ongelmitta kahdesta aiemmasta yhden pisteen suorituksestaan.

Wolverines säilytti oljenkortensa

Helsinki Wolverines on osoittautunut sitkeäksi viimeisten minuuttien joukkueeksi. Jälleen kerran Wolverines-pelin ratkaisu saatiin pelikellon lähestyessä loppuaan ja tässä tapauksessa peliajan jo päätyttyä. Ahmojen hyökkäyspeli ei ollut kaunista katsottavaa, mutta Royalsia vastaan jaardeja saatiin kerättyä lopulta 326 joista heittopelein 204. Pelinrakentaja Jordan Williams on kahdessa aiemmassa pelissään onnistunut lennättämään palloa ainoastaan 191 jaadia, mutta sunnuntaina mies onnistui tuplaamaan vaahteraliigajaardinsa. Kiinniottajista tehokkain oli jälleen akrobaattimainen Curtis Slater, joka viidellä kiinniotollaan kartutti jaardimääräänsä 146 verran. Ainoan heittopelillä tehdyn Wolverines-touchdownin teki kuitenkin Dajion Lynch.

Helsinkiläisten keskushyökkääjä Joonatan El Ouacef sai tehdä täiden työpäivän 21 yrityksellä kerättyjen 57 jaardin eteen. Vaikka jaardimäärä ei ole suuri, onnistui Wolverines sitomaan Royalsin puolustajia linjan keskustan tukkimiseen ja samalla tilaa avautui pelinrakentaja Williamsin omille juoksuille ja heitoille. Williams kantoi pallon maaliin itse kolme kertaa mukaan lukien jatkoajalla tehty pistesuoritus.

Wolverinesin suurimmat sankarit löytyivät sunnuntaina puolustuksesta. Micheal Mattinglyn ohjaama puolustus piti vaasalaiset hyvin kurissa ottelun ensimmäisellä puoliskolla ja venyi ratkaiseviin suorituksiin vaikeille hetkillä, jolloin Royalsille tarjottiin voiton avaimia.

Ahma-puolustus oli ottanut kauden kuudessa aiemmassa pelissään ainoastaan yhden syötönkatkon. Sunnuntaina niitä otettiin kolme kappaletta. Viljami Rautavirta käänsi pelin joukkueelleen kertaalleen ja kahdesti katkossa onnistui Eric Irvin. Irvinin jälkimmäinen katko tapahtui pelin viimeisellä neljännekselle tilanteessa, jossa Royals oli saanut pallon haltuunsa erinomaisesta kenttäasetelmasta. Irvinin loistopäivän kruunasi ratkaisevassa paikassa blokattu Royalsin lisäpistesuoritus. Eniten taklauksia kotijoukkueella keräsi Willy Lindfors (8 kpl).

Voitto Royalsista säilytti Wolverinesilla sen viimeisen oljenkorren playoff-pelien suhteen. Ahmojen on voitettava viimeisessä pelissään kovavireinen Roosters ja toivottava, että Crocodiles tai Butchers ei enää onnistu keräämään lisää sarjapsteitä.

oyals taistelee jatkossa sarjapaikasta

Wasa Royals piti sunnuntain pelissä voiton avaimia käsissään useampaankin otteeseen, mutta ei onnistunut ratkaisemaan tilanteita edukseen. Viimeisten sekuntien lisäpisteen epäonnistumisen lisäksi vaasalaiset eivät saaneet jatkoajalla potkumaalia haarukkaan.

Royals saapui Helsinkiin pienellä rosterilla mutta suurella taisteluhengellä. Hyökkäyksen ja puolustuksen linjoissa ei ollut varamiehiä ja useampi pelaaja pelasi teipein ja erilaisin sitein paikattuna. Päävalmentaja John Booker joutui kaivamaan pelikirjansa temppusivut esille ja onnistuikin hämmentämään vastustajaa useaan otteeseen odottamattomilla muodostelmillaan.

Lopulta joukkueen tehokkaimmaksi etenijäksi osoittautui kuitenkin jälleen kerran pelinrakentaja Brandon Gwinner. Vaasalaisten 144 juoksujaardista 114 kirjattiin Gwinnerille. Mies juoksi yhden touchdownin ja heitti kaksi. Näyttävin heitetyistä touchdowneista päätyi Tommy Kaczochan hyppysiin vaikeiden pomputtelujen jälkeen tasoittaen pelin kaksi sekuntia ennen peliajan päättymistä. Gwinnerin ja Kaczochan lisäksi maalinteossa onnistui laitahyökkääjä Jussi Kaas, joka kauden aiemmissa peleissä ei ollut saanut palloa haltuunsa kertaakaan.

Royals-puolustuksen ahkerin taklaaja oli jälleen kerran tukimies Sam Dickey. Tällä kertaa yhdysvaltalaisen tilastoihin kirjattiin 10 taklausta.

Mainittakoon vielä, että Royalsista Wolverinesiin siirtynyttä Royals-kasvatti Rufail Khalifaa ei nähty kentällä sunnuntaina.

Tappio Wolverinesille sysäsi vaasalaiset tiukkaan paikkaan. Joukkueen päävastustaja on nyt United Newland Crusades, jonka kanssa Royals tulee taistelemaan epäkiitollisesta sarjan peränpitäjän paikasta. Joukkueet kohtaavat maajoukkuetauon jälkeisenä perjantaina. Panoksena tuossa pelissä on todennäköisesti sarjapaikka. Tulevalle trillerille luo sopivat puitteet pelin ajoittuminen pahanenteisesti perjantaille, joka on samalla kuun 13. päivä.

Helsinki Wolverines ja Wasa Royals pelaavat sunnuntaina Käpylän Velodromilla tärkeän sarjapelin. Normaalia lyhempi sarjakausi tekee jokaisesta kamppailusta merkityksellisen ja kumpikin joukkue tarvitsee kipeästi sarjapisteitä parantaakseen asemiaan sarjataulukossa.

Helsinki Wolverines (2-4) on toistaiseksi onnistunut voittamaan ainoastaan sarjanousija Crusadersin kauden peleistään. Kahdella voitollaan joukkue on toistaiseksi kuivilla putoamiskurimuksesta, mutta juuri Royals on joukkue jolle ahmat ei saisi hävitä peliä.

Wasa Royals (1-4) pelaa sunnuntaina veitsi kurkullaan. Voitto Wolverinesista nostaisi joukkueen sarjataulukossa Wolverinesin edelle, mutta tappio merkitsisi suuria haasteita loppukauden peleihin. Vaahteraliigakauden 2021 asetelmaan tuo väkevän mausteensa divisioonajoukkueiden halu nousta kokeilemaan siipiään Vaahteraliigassa kaudella 2022.

Wolvoilla vaikea kausi

Helsinki Wolverinesin kausi on ollut täynnä turbulenssia. Joukkueen alkuperäinen pelaajapalapeli ei ole toteutunut suunnitellussa muodossa ja erityisesti pelinrakentajahaasteet ovat lopulta suistaneet joukkueen jopa putoamisuhan alle. Wolvoilla on toki vielä teoreettiset mahdollisuudet yltää välieriin, mutta se edellyttää voittoa kahdesta jäljellä olevasta pelistä (Royals, Roosters) ja lisäksi apuja muilta joukkueilta.

Ahmat venyivät tiukkaan voittoon edellisellä kierroksella United Newland Crusadersia vastaan. Voiton takuuna oli vahva juoksupeli, jossa tuloksen tekijöinä olivat Joonatan El Ouacef ja pelinrakentaja Jordan Williams. Sunnuntaina juoksuhaluinen pelinrakentaja tulee olemaan merkitty mies Wolverinesin on löydettävä pelikirjastaan uusia sivuja vaasalaisten puolustuksen horjuttamiseksi. Käytännössä tämä merkitsee heittopelin aktivointia. Toistaiseksi pelinrakentaja Williams on onnistunut kuljettamaan palloa heittopeleillään kahdessa ottelussaan yhteensä ainoastaan 191 jaardia.

Sunnuntain erityismausteena tulee olemaan Wolverines-takapuolustaja Rufail Khalifan ensimmäinen peli kasvattajaseuraansa vastaan. Maajoukkueleirillekin valittu Khalifa pelasi alkukauden Puolassa ja osoitti Crusaders-pelissä olevansa erinomaisessa pelikunnossa. Kookas takapuolustaja antaa päävalmentaja Michael Mattinglylle useita uusia mahdollisuuksia rosterinsa ryhmittelyyn. Ottelun pelaajalistalla Khalifa on merkitty turvallisesti kulmapuolustajan paikalle, mutta saattaa siirtyä pelin aikana myös lähemmäs juoksupelin ydintä.

Royalsilla pakkovoiton paikka

Niukalla rosterillaan taisteleva Royals on sunnuntaina kauden ensimmäisen pakkovoittonsa edessä. Joukkueella on teoriassa mahdollisuus vielä playff-peleihin, mutta käytännössä taistelu sarjapaikasta on vaasalaisille enemmän realismia. Putoamisen näkökulmasta sunnuntain peli on ns. neljän pisteen ottelu, jossa voitolla hankitut kaksi sarjapistettä nostaisivat vaasalaiset tasapisteisiin Wolverinesin kanssa, mutta samalla helsinkiläisten edelle keskinäisen pelin voiton turvin.

Royalsin hyökkäyksen eteneminen on perustunut kuluvalla kaudella jopa liikaa pelinrakentaja Brandon Gwinnerin juoksupeliin. Keskushyökkääjät Tom Suoste ja Nico Barrow ovat olleet merkittyjä miehiä eikä tilastoihin ole suomalaiskeskushyökkääjille kertynyt totutusti jaardeja.

Vaasalaisten laitahyökkääjistä Tommy Kaczocha tulee todennäköisesti saamaan päällystakikseen shut-down-korneri Dajion Lynchin, joka on onnistunut pimentämään sarjan aikana jo useampia liigan tähtilaitureita. Vaasalaisten saksalaisvahvistus Jan Hochschild pelasi viikko sitten Butchersia vastaan kauden parhaan pelinsä ja tulee aiheuttamaan Wolverines-takakentälle haasteita sunnuntain aikana.

Royalsin linjajätti Raymond Lima on saanut paikkansa kuntoon ja urakoi vaasalaislinjassa kahteen suuntaan. Tilastomerkinnät miehellä ovat vähissä, mutta kaksi hyökkäyslinjan blokkaajaa sitova pelaaja on Royalsille äärimmäisen arvokas.

Joukkueiden edellinen kohtaaminen oli yksi viime kauden tiukimmista. Wolverines voitti Royalsin Vaasassa pelatussa välieräpelissä niukasti 41-43. Ottelu ratkesi viimeisen minuutin potkumaaliin,

Vaahteraliigan 7. kierroksen peli Helsinki Wolverines – Wasa Royals potkaistaan käyntiin lauantaina 1.8. Helsingissä Käpylän Velodromilla klo 16.00. Lippuja taisteluun voi ostaa ennakkoon Lippu.fi. Suora lähetys Ruutu+ kanavalla käynnistyy jo 16.00.
