Referee angry at Brinas after AIK ruling

The ruling with the past in AIK

Brynäs was on the verge of a huge turnaround against AIK.

Afterwards, there was upset in Brinas, who thought they should have been fired because of AIK’s decision.

– Of course I think it should have been the sending off, says Johan Larsson after the 4-5 loss.

Brinas brought the game to overtime with two goals in 30 seconds in the final minute of the third period.

But with a minute and a half left in overtime, Jerry Fitzgerald decided to take the decision after a turnover.

In the previous sequence, Anton Rudin brought the ball towards AIK’s goal, where it was shot powerfully by Branden Truock, who eventually broke into the goal with ease. Then Troock was able to take care of the puck and AIK made the save and decided.

– We’ll do well when we come back. We never stop believing in our ability to score a goal and that’s great. We’ll take that with us. We see a fighting spirit and we are working much harder than we did in the last two games, says Brenna’s coach Niklas Galstedt and continues:

– But it’s sad. I think he gets sent off in the end when Anton gets his way, then it changes the rules of the game and then comes the decision.

Johan Larsson was on the same path.

“I think he hit his old man, so they were late and of course I think it should have been a sending off,” Larson says.

So the goal wasn’t supposed to happen in that case in other words?

-You can think and think whatever you want. We think so, but what happened is what happened, and we have a lot to work on.

Brinas was punished heavily in the first period with an expulsion. They had three against them in the first quarter of the game with AIK scoring twice.

-We have a game where there are six men on the field, which is very nice on our part. Then there are two that are, in my opinion, questionable. But they are the referees, and it is the association that decides which referees we will use, Galstedt says.

He played referee at AIK

One of the main referees, former senior player Stefan Johansson, has a long history as an AIK player and has played more than 300 games for the club.

– Yes, Galstedt says.

What do you think that?

– He should try to manage it in the best way.

Do you think he does?

– I hope so. I don’t know but I hope so.

“must be tightened”

Brynäs now has four losses in their last five games but still has the best scoring average in Allsvenskan hockey.

-We always focus on our performance. It was a small step forward, but if you score four goals, you should win away from home, I think. We have to step back a little, says Johan Larsson.
