Leksand made short work of Visby/Roma in the Hockey Allsvenskan, ending 9-3 on Friday evening at the Visby arena. The visitors took control early and never let go, extending their perfect start to the campaign. By then, the result was already clear — and here's the thing, the scoreline told the whole story.
Leksand arrived with momentum, having won seven of their previous eight fixtures. Visby/Roma were coming off a 3-4 defeat to Östersund and looked to have forgotten how to defend. To be fair, the visitors made it look easy, moving the puck with confidence and punishing every mistake.
We'd called for this — away win, 72 per cent confidence — and the match confirmed it. The table still shows both sides on zero points, but the gap between them was never in doubt. Leksand were dominant from the opening face-off, while Visby/Roma looked like they were playing a different game entirely.
The visitors scored at will, stringing together chances without giving the home side a moment to breathe. Visby/Roma managed three goals but they came too late and meant nothing. By then, the stadium had fallen silent and there was little to hope for.
The result leaves Leksand top of the table with eight wins from nine games. One defeat in nine outings — and here's the thing, they're already building something special. Visby/Roma remain in 14th with just one victory from eight matches, and the season is barely under way.
