legends and challenges

The 64-year-old Tommy Samuelsson, icon of the Färjestad BK and former player, is a legendary figure in Swedish ice hockey. With numerous titles and honors, he left traces both as a player and as a trainer. He played his entire career at Färjestad, where his number 2 is no longer awarded today. Samuelsson underlined the strength of the organization and the high demands that ensure constant top performance. "Salzburg played great in the round of 16 against Lahti. They are a great club that certainly has a chance to create a big surprise," he said, emphasizing the challenges that Salzburg has in front of them while trying to put the favorites into their barriers.

The players of Färjestad, led by captain Linus Johansson and the experienced by Aslund, have weaknesses on the defensive despite the team's competitiveness, which can possibly be exploited. The defense has already conceded numerous goals in the current season, which is a weak point. Samuelsson was optimistic about Salzburg's possibilities in the upcoming duel, which may have the potential for a great turn - a consideration that makes him think of his own time in Austria, where he has made a lot of friendships and appreciates the backdrop.
