Against the goal nine seconds later, the coach scolded and booed him.
Then Bjorkloven got up, came back and decided with one second left against Mora.
We’re doing a great job to stay in the game, says Champion Nick Shilkie.
Bjorkloven won the summit at home against Mora.
But everything went wrong in the first period.
The match had not yet gone nine seconds when Johan Persson scored the visitors’ lead.
Six minutes into the game, home coach Victor Strahle felt compelled to stop playing – and he wasn’t harsh in his criticism of his players.
– We’ve played six minutes and look like shit. He said everyone needs to step up.
But the reprimand didn’t help much – it was 0-2 through Axel Sundberg after just 84 seconds.
lost again
Umeå’s side came out better in the second half and pulled one back after goals from Maxime Fortier and former Mura player Matthias Norstebo.
But then came the expulsions.
First one to six men on the ice which resulted in a power play and a 3-2 to Mora. Then another intervention paved the way for the visitors 4-2 after league leader Johan Persson scored his second goal of the evening.
I decided – with one second to spare
Scott Polley became the standout in the third period when he single-handedly kept Björklöfen in the game.
The United States cut, tied, and imposed an extension—it was time for another Atlantic to step up.
With one second left on the clock, Nick Shilkie pucked, tackled, and finished over the goaltender to make it 5-4 and the win.
Two points which means Björklöven comes in on Modo, who lost to Djurgården. 11 points now separate the first and second.
