Rögle striker Ludvig Larsson drove past Leksand goalkeeper Mantas Armalis and conceded a penalty kick, which meant the match was stopped.
But still, he’s playing tonight.
According to Christer Larking, Chief Operating Room, the penalty was changed to Game Misconduct, a lighter penalty in a match.
It was an eventful round of 16 final between Leksand and Rogel last night.
And the temperature rose dramatically when Rögle’s Ludvig Larsson tried to get around Leksand’s goal cage and ended up running over Mantas Armalis, who went onto the ice.
After the video evaluation, Larsson then received a 5+20 for being tackled with a header and was knocked out after only 2.18 minutes of ice time. Initially, there was a misconduct in the game in the protocol, that is, the lack of automatic suspension. Late in the evening, however, the penalty was changed to a match penalty, which meant an automatic match ban – and a mandatory report to the disciplinary committee.
– I’m trying to play the disc. I watched the video too. Said the main character herself I can’t comment further.
But on Tuesday morning, new flights come in and Rögle’s sporting director, Chris Abbott, texts Sportbladet and says Ludwig Larsson is playing tonight.
“I have received information from Christer Lärking, head of the operating room, that Ludvig can play today,” wrote Abbott.
Something Lärking also confirms to Sportbladet via SMS, and on Tuesday morning the official protocol was then changed to award game misconduct for charging.
Lexand chose to put the lid on.
– We focus on our team and I don’t care who plays or doesn’t play for Rögle, says general manager Thomas Johansson.
