Table runner-up Björklöven against third Västerås.

It was bedded for an even event in Umeå.

It was just the opposite.

Took over immediately

Björklöven crushed Västerås and won 9-1.

The home team took over the match immediately and won the first period 3-0.

"Technically incorrect expulsion"

A period that ended with the season's strangest expulsion so far.

Björklöven's Carl Grundström was sent off for two minutes for slashing.

This after Västerås Gustav Berglund fell completely by himself when Grundström was right next door.

The reprise photos clearly showed that Grundström was completely innocent.

But the expulsion remained.

- Now it was just me who saw it so I could not get help from my colleagues.

But if I had seen it on the jumbotron, I could have removed it.

A technically incorrect expulsion, the judge Patric Bjälkander told C More.

Took over completely

It was 4-0 to Björklöven when Västerås got a golden opportunity to reduce when they were awarded a penalty.

But it was not a successful attempt by Viktor Hertzberg who instead shot in the middle of Kevin Poulin's leg protection.

The reduction came instead in a powerplay where Marcus Bergman from a somewhat narrow angle sent in the 4-1 goal.

But it didn't help much when Björklöven a few minutes later scored three goals in 45 seconds after Pontus Andreasson, Daniel Rahimi and Alexander Wiklund each sent in a full hit.

Liss two-goal shooter

In the middle of the final period, the eighth goal came from Björklöven's eighth goal scorer, Olle Liss.

With barely two minutes left, Liss was there again when he put 9-1, which was also the end result.

- We get a good start and then we are strong for 60 minutes.

We do not thumb at anything.

Even though the numbers pull away, we stick to our game plan.

We play really well today, Liss told Cmore after the match.

Evenly in Mora

The big win means that Björklöven puts Almtuna (who lost 1-3 against Vita Hästen) from first place in the table.

Karlskoga also won big when they defeated Väsby 5-0.

It was smoother between Mora and Södertälje, Mora won 4-3 after penalties.

Tingsryd against Timrå ended 3-1 and Kristianstad defeated Modo 2-1 after a penalty kick.
