SM-liigalla ja junnukisoilla valtava ero – ”Liiga on aika salliva”

Suomen NHL-lupaus Konsta Helenius pelasi loistavan kauden SM-liigassa Mikkelin Jukureissa. Nyt hän mittaa tasoaan nuorten MM-kisoissa, joissa on ollut ylivoimainen Latviaa, Norjaa ja Slovakiaa vastaan.

Heleniuksen mukaan ero SM-liigan ja alle 18-vuotiaiden kisoilla on valtava.

– Kyllähän se on vauhti ja kamppailupeli. Kyllä täällä on hiljainen vauhti verrattuna liigapeleihin. Siellä koko ajan taklataan ja kamppaillaan, Helenius sanoi Sportti.com:lle.

Heleniusta on yllättänyt, miten vähän mailalla kamppaillaan U18-kisoissa.

– Iso asia on kanssa toi mailakamppailu. Täällä ollaan vähän leppoisia sen suhteen. Liigassa ei paljoa anneta armoa siinä.

Heleniuksen mukaan myös tuomarilinjassa on eroja. U18-kisoissa vihelletään tilanteissa, joissa SM-liigassa ei vihellettäisi.

– Liiga on aika salliva. Siellä saa antaa sitä mailaa aika paljon. Siinä se iso ero on.

Tiistaina Pikkuleijonat kohtaa Yhdysvallat. Ehkä Liigan tasoa päästään siinä pelissä lähemmäksi.

– Kyllä Liiga on paljon kovempi kuin nämä pelit. En sitten tiedä isompia maita vastaan.
