The contrasting left side of Växjö | Measuring player performance [1:2]

In this weeks game analysis, we are going to touch base with two players who have already played big roles during game analysis, and compare them to eachother. André Andersson – who was a big part in Växjö's successful zone entries and offense against Linköping. And Eemeli Akola – who was one of the driving factors to the Finnish team coming back to win the WFC in Malmö.

They make up two thirds of the left defense position of Växjö, and when talking to people with a lot of knowledge about the SSL – they make up one of the most polarizing spots on any roster, just by the fact that they play the game so differently.

Andersson is a wizard with the ball, who can be a one-man entry machine, and also is a great sneaky player in between the opponent's zones in the offense.

Akola is an intense defender with great physical attributes, who takes pride in working hard and making life even harder on the opponents.

Let us use game three of the Falun-Växjö series, to paint the picture of what they mean to their teams, what results they drove in this particular game, and of course also how they do it by breaking down film of them.
