Kristianstad held the lead against Tingsred
Kristianstad-Tingsryd has been publicly cancelled.
Just over three weeks later, the final whistle blew for real.
– It should be some kind of record, says Kristianstad coach Mikael Gath, laughing.
On October 28 at 7:00 pm, the referee released the puck at the Allsvenskan hockey meeting between Kristianstads IK And the Tingrid AIF In Allsvenskan hockey.
On Sunday afternoon, after 551 hours, the final whistle blew at the high-level meeting.
It cannot be hidden that it is very special. But we prepared like before a normal match. It started quite easily, Kristianstad coach Mikael Gath said after the meeting, which was not televised and played in front of empty stands.
“It’s not that easy.”
The score of the match, which ended with Kristianstad leading 5-1, was stopped after 14 minutes and 36 seconds.
It’s not easy to go in and play 14 minutes of hockey mentally. I think the boys show great behaviour, says Tingsred coach Frederik Glader.
Chances abounded after the chaotic scenes as a superb shot fell past Tingsryd goalkeeper Daniel Rosengren. Tingsryd didn’t want the game to end that evening – but it ended up with both teams standing on the ice and letting time run out.
Tingsred then lodged a protest, requesting a reinstatement. The competition committee decided that the match should resume from the time it was interrupted with no change of formations.
“It took a lot of time”
Both coaches agree that it was a good idea to put one last point in the game.
– It took a lot of time in every way. Gath says everything from finding dates to having guys take a free Sunday to upload a full day for the quarter.
How was the mood on the ice considering you weren’t in complete agreement In the wake of?
– I don’t have much comment on that. Gath says there was nothing special on the ice.
“I can’t bear to focus on that,” Gladyer says.
Kristianstad can finally count three points in the account and rise from eleventh to ninth place in the table. Tingsryd is still jumbo.
