Gevel / Stockholm. No player entered the ice when Johan Larsson changed hands.
Then take care of Malmö.
– This should not happen, says Brenas defender David Sklinica.
Brenas had just leveled at 2-2, but at the end of the second half Malmö took the lead again.
The Redhawks suddenly came two-on-one into the attack zone and Johan Olofsson was able to play Adam Ulas Mattsson to make it 2-3.
There was an explanation for Malmö’s players being so clean in front of goal. Brinas did not replace any players when Johan Larsson left and sat in the booth.
– Some kind of communication error, I have to see if it was me or one of the players, Brynä coach Ove Molin said after the match.
Big miss by Brynäs
Mullen continues:
– But that doesn’t help us to sit now and find fault after the game. I wouldn’t say this is the kind of thing that happens, because it shouldn’t happen, but it did and it’s hard to undo. I don’t think anyone would want to do that on purpose.
Defender David Sklenička did not notice that Brynäs ended up at a numerical disadvantage about ten seconds before goal.
– It was new to me. I didn’t know that. It’s amazing, it can’t happen in this situation. It’s an even game and we let them score 3-2, but like I said, I didn’t know that, he says.
“Maybe you are not concentrating?”
On the other hand, David Sklenička remembers a match against Färjestad earlier in the season.
– They scored the goal 2-1 and we lost the match. I don’t know, maybe we’re not focused on the game? Perhaps we think too much about what is going on around us? The next match should not happen.
Brynäs is down 0-3 in games and must win in Malmö on Tuesday to avoid being kicked out of the SHL.
