ÖRNSKÖLDSVIK. Both main referees from last Sunday have been replaced for tonight’s match.
But that had nothing to do with Djurgården’s quarter-hour nightly chat with the chief referee or the anger after the first final.
without having previously decided on the appointment of judges.
A new storm has set in after Sunday’s final between Modu and Djurgården.
Both Djurgården coach Johann Garbenlöf and general manager KJ Stöbel had opinions about the referees and were very strict with their verbal blows.
– awesome. If you put such a level into a final… it’s a low level, then you have to curse the low both ways. These are removals, not removals. That gives them some momentum, said Stubel.
Do you think they should bring in SHL referees instead?
– It would naturally be rather than sending this kind of rubbish, when there are a lot of people with SHL leave. It’s frankly petty.
After the final, KG Stoppel and chief referee Björn Wettergren gathered in a centrally located hotel in Örnsköldsvik and cleared the air.
Sportbladet’s photo of the meeting caused some bad blood among many of Modo’s supporters and many felt that Djurgården wanted to influence the judges, how they should rule and who should rule.
Now Sportbladet can tell you that both referees from last Sunday have been replaced for tonight’s match.
Daniel Wiesner and Alexander Osterberg will come in instead, which has been decided since Friday. Hockeyallsvenskan believes that the criticism from Djurgården has nothing to do with the change.
