Every single point is worth just as much.
And the extra points Växjö took away against Linköping may be the most protracted that the SHL league leader has taken home.
1-1 after full time and extra time, and the match to penalties.
Victor Fasth between the posts for the guests, and Niklas Lundström for the home team.
No one outsmarted them in the three regular rounds - on to sudden penalties.
There they continued to save, and save, and save.
After 26 straight misses, which is a new SHL record according to domarna.se, the penalty shootout was in the fourteenth round when Joel Persson went out on the ice.
Then, at the match's 27th penalty, Växjöbacken managed to outsmart Lundström with a shot just over the left hand picks.
Niko Ojamäki then missed the opportunity to extend the drama - and Växjö had to wait for the penalty victory after a long wait.
- I thought that soon it must be my turn.
I do not know how many rounds there were, Joel Persson answers C More's question about how the thoughts went on the bench during the penalty shootout.
"A little embarrassing"
Linköping's team captain Jonas Junland, who was one of the penalty swimmers, believes that the actual punishment and the result of it was difficult.
- It was almost a bit embarrassing, maybe.
Two good goalkeepers obviously.
It's very boring, it's tough, says the LHC hill to C More.
Växjö leads the SHL, two points ahead of runner-up Rögle who has played one game less.
While Linköping is in no man's land between the finals and the qualifiers.
