Roosters – Eagles 19.05.2022
Helsinki Roosters opetti Vaahteraliigan sarjanousija Kotka Eaglesia kovalla kädellä liigan tavoille. Kolme nopeasti nakutettua touchdownia vei helsinkiläiset ensimmäisen neljänneksen päätteeksi 21-0 johtoon. Ottelun päättyessä Roostersille kaksi sarjapistettä lukemin 57-6 (34-6).
Kotka Eaglesin vaahteraliigadebyytti ei olisi voinut käynnistyä karummissa merkeissä. Aloituspotkusta pallo omalle 18 jaardi viivalle, josta kolme yritystä ja 10 jaardin lentopotku. Roosters vei pallon maaliin heti ensimmäisellä pelillään, mutta kiinnipitämisrangaistus viivytti avausmaalia kahden yrityksen päähän. Roosters onnistui tekemään kaksi touchdownia viidellä ensimmäisellä pelillään ja kotkalaiset oli nujerrettu. Bryce Stancomben kahden ensimmäisen heitto-TD:n kiinniottajana oli Aymeric Nicault, mutta pelin edetessä Pohjola Vakuutuksen Vakuuttavimpana Pelaajana palkittu Stancombe ehti kertaalleen jopa kiinniottamaan yhden touchdownin Santtu Vehkomäen heitosta.
Suvereeni voitto pyyhkäisi Roostersin taivaanrannalta synkät pilvet, joita viisi päivää aiemmin pelattu Steelers-peli sinne viritteli. Joukkue eteni tasaisesti juosten ja heittäen ja nuoret keskushyökkääjät saivat runsaasti onnistumisia. Varsin vajaalla puolustusrosterilla peliin lähteneet helsinkiläiset pitivät juoksuvoimaiset kotkalaiset kurissa. Yksi Roosters-puolustuksen sankareista oli 19-vuotias Taavi Aronpää, joka kirjasi pelin kovimmat taklauslukemat (11,5).
Kotkalla myös onnistumisia
Kotka Eagles sai Velodromilla shokkihoitoa vaahteraliigavauhdista, mutta pelin alusta toivuttuaan Eagles-hyökkäys sai ajoin juonesta kiinni ja eteni tyylikkäästi juoksupeleillään. Joukkue lähti peliin ilman kolmea avauksen laituriaan. Otteluun ei pukenut mm yhdysvaltalaisvahvistus Peter Anderson. Pelinrakentaja Chris Forcier sai heitoillaan kerättyä joukkueelleen 90 jaardia, joista yksi päätyi Miro Aarevuon kiinniottamana maalialueelle saakka.
Eagles puolustuksessa yhdysvaltalaisvahvistus Jamarcus Henderson oli odotetun vahva. Linjasta rynninyt Henderson keräsi joukkueensa suurimman taklauspotin 9,5 kpl. Joukkueen takakentän tähtipelaaja Veikko Kallio jäi ennakosta poiketen pois pelistä ja juurin hänen varjostustaitoaan olisi kaivattu Roostersin pallorallissa.
Kotkalaisten näkyvin mies torstaina oli keskushyökkääjä Ville Hämäläinen, joka avauspelin otteillaan osoittaa olevansa liigassakin yksi sarjan parhaista keskushyökkääjistä.

Helsinki Roosters isännöi torstaina Velodromilla jo kauden toista vaahteraliigapeliään. Vastustajaksi saapuu sarjanousija Kotka Eagles, jolle peli on kaikkien aikojen ensimmäinen ylimmällä sarjatasolla.
Roosters on ehtinyt hakemaan pelituntumaa kahdessa kovassa pelissä ennen kuin suurin osa liigajoukkueista on päässyt lähellekään tositoimia. Pelituntumasta on etua kamppailuun lähdettäessä, mutta samalla kilpailevat joukkueet ovat päässeet tutustumaan helsinkiläisten pelikirjaan ennakkoon. Torstain peliin lähdettäessä kotkalaisten pelikirja on kaikille mysteeri, joskin hyökkäyksen koordinaattori Kari Leivojan ja pelinrakentaja Chris Forcierin otteet ovat aiemmilta kausilta tiedossa.
Roosters lähtee otteluun lähes samalla aloituskokoonpanolla kuin Steelers-peliin. Ainoastaan puolustuslinjassa Otto Oinonen on nostettu ottelusta poissa olevan Jaradat Malekin tilalla ja ainakin ennakkotiedoissa Eemeli Tuominen pelaa takakentällä epävarmaksi listatun yhdysvaltalaisen Emory Polleyn kulmapuolustajan tontilla. Polley oli sivussa kauden avauksesta lauantaina.
Ranskalaislaituri Aymeric Nicault oli Roostersin liiga-avauksen paras etenijä yhteensä 126 jaardillaan. Erityisesti helsinkiläiset kaipaavat juoksujaardeja, joita Steelersia vastaan kertyi ainoastaan 55.
Forcierilla hyvät muistot Roostersista
Kotka Eaglesin yhdysvaltalainen pelinrakentaja Chris Forcierilla on kokemusta Roostersin kaatamisesta. Edellisen kerran kukonpojat kohdatessaan Forcier johdatti Wolverinesin voittoon ja välieriin vahvan henkilökohtaisen panoksen avulla. Nyt Forcierin ympärillä on uusi miehistö, jonka suorituskyky liigatasolla on ennen torstaita suuri arvoitus.
Alustavan pelaajalistan mukaan kotkalaiset eivät saa avausotteluun mukaan jenkkilaituriaan Peter Andersonia, joten Forcierin heittoja ovat kiinniottamassa Veeti Kiviluoma, Veikko Langi, Miro Aarrevuo sekä aiemmin keskushyökkääjän paikalla loistanut Ysufa Lehtinen. kotkalaisten juoksuvoimasta vastaa pelinrakentajan lisäksi Ville Hämäläinen, jolle povataan läpimurtokautta liigassa.
Kotkalaisten suuri voimavara torstaina tulee olemaan sarjanousijan into, jolla tuore liigajoukkue lähtee hakemaan voittoa kaikkien aikojen menestyksekkäimmästä joukkueesta. Roosters tarvitsee tässä vaiheessa merkintöjä voittosarakkeeseensa, joten odotettavissa Velolla tiukkaa vääntöä.
