It was as good as everyone expected

Frölunda is also playing in the play-offs after losing 3-1 against Färjestad.

And now Växjö is waiting in the semi-finals.

Växjö, which had a full game with Luleå and which Gothenburgers won 4-0 in SC’s quarter-final matches last year.

I think Joel Lundqvist may have to wait a long time for last night with the gang.

Meanwhile – ten miles away in Örebro – the home side won a shock win against Timra 3-2, with their midfielders making it the match with two late goals.

This means that it will be Skellefteå Örebro in the second semi-final and Västerbottnings would probably be happy to avoid Färjestad this time around.

So the defending champions are already out of the qualifiers and that was the match I watched this evening.

An exciting game of seven between two classic hockey giants.

I was expecting a lot from that match, but it’s hard to come as a surprise that Frolland.

Ryan Lash found defender Philip Elhasa in a free position and fired straight away.

The score was 1-0 to Frölunda after just 3.03.

Then defender Philip Johansson excelled, looking like Theodor Linström as he elegantly swung past Joachim Nygaard in the attacking area and put it 2-0 up for Frolanda.

Ice cold and thunderous in the far corner.

By then the score was 6.07 and Frolland had scored a goal every three minutes so far in the match.

Definitely overheated

That was before the game in which Färjestad’s hopes were brightened even more when number one defender and one of last year’s golden champions Theodor Linström appeared in the squad once again.

But Linstrom obviously overheated and was a bit all over the place on the ice there in the first period, just not where he was supposed to be against Frolanda 1-0.

Then he came out at the end of the period, when he slashed Jacob Nelson really badly on the arm and I thought he was about to five, but the judges settled for two.

And with 1.14 to go, Remy Elie took an equally stupid dismissal and Värmlanders’ third in a row.

Had Ryan Lash been in shape with the power play he would have been guaranteed 3-0 to Frolland when the period ended, but now he’s stopped at a two-goal lead.

And in the second, Färjestad emerged as a clearly better and above all more disciplined team.

That eventually led to Brandon Davidson hitting the closest cross into the free 12:53 into the middle of the period.

Then 8250 exploded at the Löfbergs Arena.

Boil again.

He also produced aggressive influence from Färjestad for the rest of the period.

This is also how fairy tales can be written

But then came the next shock to the home audience.

In the middle of Färjestad’s search for an equalizing goal early in the third period, Erik Borg was a bit unlucky in getting a puck into the attacking area and hitting it towards goal mostly because he was lacking reasonable substitutions.

The puck slid into the post behind Matt Tomkins.

And suddenly Borg – who played Allsvenskan hockey in Vita-Hastein as recently as February – was a play-off champion in a decisive quarter-final.

This is also how fairy tales can be written.

Färjestad did everything they could and, exhausting their last strength, eventually knocked out the goalkeeper, but Lasse Johansson played brilliantly at Frölunda’s goal.

He was as good as everyone expected him to be when he came home after all those years in the KHL.

Now Växjö series victories await Frölunda and Joel Lundqvist.

The last thing he does as a hockey player?

I suspect.

Checks the game software and not a single playoff match on the software.

I almost forgot that there were days like no other in those days.

Skellefteå Örebro and.

Western Bottoms will be the favorite out there.

But Örebro has a few savings in its stars Rodrigo Apolls, Matthias Bromi and Emil Larsson.

Tonight’s game against Timra and Broumi have not scored a single point in seven quarter-final matches. Apollos is handsome, but has six assists, while Emil Larsson has a goal.

If they shoot on goal in order, it could be a game.
