Wolverines – Crocodiles 06.08.2022
Helsinki Wolverines isännöi Käpylän Velodromilla Seinäjoki Crocodilesia Vaahteraliigan playoff-pelien kannalta merkittävässä kohtaamisessa. Huikeiden vaiheiden jälkeen Crocodiles voittoon viimeisen minuutin touchdownilla. Lukemat vieraille 20-25 (7-13).
Lauantain vaahteraliigapelissä oli panosta ja tunteita katsomoihin jännitettäväksi. Kuten joukkueiden kohtaamiset viime aikoina ovat olleet, taas ratkaisua jouduttiin hakemaan pelin viimeisille hetkille saakka. Wolverines kiri Crocojen kahden TD:n eron kiinni neljännen neljänneksen lopulla, mutta pelikelloon jäi aikaa vierasjoukkueen yhteen draiviin. Seinäjokiset painoivat pallon väkisin Velodromin itäpäätyyn, ja ratkaisijaksi nousi huikean määrän työtä urakoinut Christian Powell iltapäivän ainoalla kiinniotollaan.
Jabari Harrisin kaksi Hail Mary-heittoa pelikellon umpeutuessa olivat onnistua, mutta tällä kertaa oli Crocojen vuoro voittaa. Joukkueiden ensimmäisen kohtaamisen ratkaisua jouduttiin odottamaan jatkoajan toiseen hyökkäyspariin, jonka tasoittavalla vuorolla Wolverines ratkaisi onnistuneella lisäpistepelillä. Nyt Crocot pääsivät kuittamaan kitkerän tappion. Näiden joukkueiden tunteita pursuavat pelit ovat hyvää viihdettä ja on suuret mahdollisuudet, että tällä kaudella tasatilanne 1-1 voitoissa puretaan välieräpelissä.
Wolverines teki TD:n ensimmäisellä draivillaan
Kotijoukkue Wolverines sai otteluun parhaan mahdollisen alun. Ahmojen ensimmäisen draivin kolmannessa pelissä Jabari Harris löysi Sebastien Sagnen, joka juoksi pallon kanssa maaliin yhteensä 51 jaardin TD:n. Sagne onnistui tekemään pelissä kaksi touchdownia ja miehestä oli tulla koko pelin ratkaisija pelikellon umpeutuessa. Jabari Harris pisti ilmaan huikean pitkän heiton, jota Sagne juoksi vastaanottamaan maalin tuntumaan. Croco-puolustus joutui rikkomaan Sagnea ja tällä kertaa häirintä kannatti. Wolverines ei onnistunut yliajalla saamassaan ylimääräisessä yrityksessä.
Jabari Harris heitti pelissä 266 jaardia ja kaksi touchdownia. Lisäksi mies juoksi yhden maalin. Wolverines osoitti, että hyökkäyksellä on suurten pelien potentiaalia, mutta linjapelin suhteen hienosäätöä tarvitaan yhä ennen kauden viimeisiä pelejä.
Ahmapuolustuksessa Curtis Slater teki seitsemän taklausta ja katkaisi kertaalleen Zachary Whiteheadin heiton. Eric Irvin ja Joseph Kordus palasivat takaisin pelaavaan kokoonpanoon. Irvin oli jälleen aggressivinen takakentällä, mutta pelasi ilmeisesti puolikuntoisena.
Wolverines epäonnistui pelissä kahdesti kenttäpotkumaalissaan ja yksi RJ Longin TD liputettiin pois samaisen laiturin ryhmityttyä väärin aloitusmuodostelmaan. Näistä riittää spekuloitavaa bye-viikolleen siirtyvälle joukkueelle.
Powell eteni yli 200 jaardia
Crocodiles laittoi takuuvarman Christian Powellin lauantaina urakkatöihin. Keskushyökkääjä kantoi palloa 32 kertaa ja teki kaksi touchdownia juoksuillaan. Powellin kolmas TD syntyi hänen ainoasta kiinniotostaan ja se ratkaisi pelin viimeisellä minuutilla. Kaikkiaan miehelle 196 juoksujaardia ja 10 yhdellä kiinniotolla. Upeat suorituksen huomioitiin Pohjola Vakuutuksen Vakuuttavimman Pelaajan palkinnolla.
Pelinrakentaja Whitehead pelasi jälleen tyylikkään pelin. Miehen 24 heitosta 18 päätyi omille laitureille ja tuloksena kaksi heittomaalia. Ison kiitoksen pelirauhastaan Whitehead voi antaa Crocojen hyökkäyslinjalle, joka päästi vastustajan vain kahdesti taklaamaan pallollista pelaajaa aloituslinjan takana. Laitahyökkääjistä Janne Särkelä onnistui kertaalleen maalinteossa ja toinen heitto-TD oli Powellin ratkaiseva suoritus.
Crocodiles-puolustus pelasi lähes parhaalla kokoonpanolla ja se näkyi kentän tapahtumissa. Wolverines-hyökkäys ei päässyt oikeastaan missään vaiheessa toivomaansa rytmiin Crocodilesin linjan rynniessä irti blokeista. Vastustajan pelinrakentaja onnistuttiin säkittämään kolme kertaa ja niissä kaikissa oli mukana Emmit Gooden.
Voitto merkitsee Crocodilesille hyvää asemaa pudotuspelien kotietua ratkottaessa. Ratkaisu on yhä seinäjokisten omissa käsissä, mutta runkosarjan loppuohjelma tulee olemaan vaikea. Jäljellä ovat vielä pelit Steelersiä, Roostersia sekä Butchersia vastaan. Wolverinesin polku pudotuspeihin on kevyempi ja pitää sisillä tulevan viikon lepovuoron. Helsinkiläisillä pelit vielä Eaglesia ja Crusadersia vastaan.

Vaahteraliigan isojen pelien viikonlopun päättää Helsinki Wolverinesin ja Crocodilesin kohtaaminen. Ottelussa panokset ovat suuret ja taustalla tunnelataukset siitä kovemmasta päästä.
Wolverinesilla on mahdollisuus käytännössä varmistaa playoff-pelien kotietu voittamalla seinäjokiset tämän iltapäivän pelissään. Ahmat veivät joukkueiden edellisen kohtaamisen jatkoajalle päättyneessä trillerissä hyökkäyskilpailussa tehdyllä lisäpistesuorituksella, ja pelin jälkitunnelmissa joukkueen päävalmentaja nappasi tunteenpurkauksestaan kahden pelin toimitsijakiellon. Seinäjokisille jäi paljon crokohampaiden koloihin ja nyt on aika päästää kaikki ulos kentällä klo 16:30 alkaen.
Crocodiles pääsee otteluun lähes parhaalla mahdollisella kokoonpanollaan. Aloituskokoonpano kertoo, että sivussa ollut Filip Zacok on jälleen mukana pelissä kuten myös edellisen pelin huilannut Artur Pinheiro. Puolustuslinja on asetettu ennakkotietojen mukaan neljä miehen ryhmitykseen, joten painetta Wolvojen hyökkäyslinjalle aiotaan laittaa heti pelin alusta alkaen.
Myös Wolverines on saanut täydennystä viikon takaiseen Porvoo-peliin verrattuna. Puolustuksen johtava pelaaja Ville Valasti on edelleen poissa kokoonpanosta, mutta joukkueen taklaustilaston kärjet, Joseph Kordus ja Eric Irvin palaavat kentälle. Kokoonpanossa ovat mukana myös edellisestä pelistä puuttuneet Jonis Heikkinen sekä useamman pelin levännyt James Perrineau.
Forecan sääennusteen mukaan taivas selkenee peliin sopivasti ja ottelu voidaan viedä läpi hyvässä kelissä. Runsaiden sateiden jäljiltä Velon betoni on kuitenkin petollinen ja tulee varmasti vaikuttamaan joukkueiden pelivalintoihin. Pelataan normipelikirjalla tai onko odotettavissa yllätyksiä. Sen näkee parhaiten saapumalla katsomon aistimaan kuuman tunnelman.
