The irritation began when Linus Omark got two minutes too high stick on Oskar Lang at the end of the first period.
Omark thought Lang fell a little too easily and the veteran looked visibly annoyed. The Luleå star also gesticulated for filming when he sat in the penalty box.
Shinnimin saw red
At the end of the second period, it was Brendan Shinnimin who lost his temper.
After a messy situation, the Canadian hit Leksand goalkeeper Filip Larsson on the shin pad. The move led to strong reactions among the Leksand players and Shinnimin smoked together with several others.
