Skellefteå was 0-0 at home and Oscar Nilsson was upset after that.
Bakken wants to bring Dan Sexton’s ejection with him in the final minutes when Nelson loses a pair of teeth and his helmet:
– I completely empty my jaw of my teeth, but you obviously have to do it.
Växjö established a strong control of the SC final. After 1–0 in Skellefteå, it is now 2–0 in matches.
Dan Sexton scored the winning goal just after 12:55 of the first period.
The American Växjö striker was also involved in a high-profile incident towards the end of the match.
A duel with Oscar Nilsson ended with Skellefteåbacken losing his helmet and being forced to ride furiously and change. Nelson ended up hitting the stick in the rim.
Nelson has also lost a pair of teeth in the situation with Sexton. Or as he himself said.
– I completely empty my jaw of my teeth. I’m missing a piece on the front and one there, but you obviously have to do this.
But the Växjö striker was not sent off despite Nilsson’s protests:
– It’s an obvious second but the referees don’t want to take it, I don’t know what they have against me, says Nelson disappointedly.
Only 11 shots were fired on goal
What explanation did you get?
– Nobody at all, I didn’t have time to talk to them, the conversation with them was over for me, says Nelson,
Don’t you want to talk to the judges?
– No, I don’t know what to say.
Oscar Nilsson was similarly disappointed with the result. Despite Växjö only shooting eleven shots on goal, they managed to leave Skellefteå with the victory:
– They get a fairly cheap first goal and then close the match.
what do you want to do?
– Shoot more, get the target. classic. They play smart, to their strengths. We have to find a way to mitigate it.
The third final will be held in Växjö on Thursday.
