What do Brendan Schneemen from Lulia, Jesper Peterson from Linköping and Kali Klang in Ruggle have in common?
The Swedish Ice Hockey Association’s disciplinary committee has all been informed of the aggravating situations.
in Lollias Brendan Chinemens This case is a consolidation at the end of the second period in the 1-2 loss against Linkoping when he found himself in a position with Linkoping’s Christopher Ene.
Shinmin amplifies the situation by tilting his head and body back while his right leg is hidden under his body. All in an attempt to deceive the referee into making an expulsion,” writes the SHL’s operating room on the league’s website.
“There is no normal procedure”
It’s also a sequence in the same match that was reported for Jesper Pettersson.
“Brännström (Isac) holds Pettersson’s arm, who then chooses to intensify the situation by turning his body left toward the track while his right leg flies into the air. This is not a natural act, but an amplification of the situation for the referee to knock out the opposing player.”
‘Getting a lot of pain’
In the Skåne derby between Rögle and Malmö it got really hot in the second half when Malmö’s Emil Sylvegård was pushed into Rögle goalkeeper Calle Clang.
“When Sylvegård falls, grab Klang’s right shoulder and pull him. Klang rolls toward Sylvegård and ends up close to him. Sylvegård pushes Klang away with his left glove. Klang then chooses to shoot by holding his face with both hands and spinning around to show he’s in excruciating pain,” he writes in position room.
Ahead of the season, referee Thomas Thorsbrink said one should take action against filming because the league is going down a “dangerous path”. On the one hand, the referees should be tougher on the ice and on the other hand, they should get better at sending positions to the disciplinary board.
