The audience in Scandinavium was treated to really nice hockey entertainment tonight.
Lots of goals and even more good chances.
And the game wavered back and forth and looking at the shooting statistics, it could have stopped anyway.
- A crazy match, situations and chances everywhere.
A little too open if you are to be critical but you (viewers) like it, I guess, said Joel Lundqvist to C More before the third period.
Symptomatic of the match, the puck was in the net for the first time after only 25 seconds.
The home team got a dream opening when Christian Fohlin's diagonal pass to Max Friberg paid off.
Frölunda got a little grip when Ryan Lasch pulled up a wrist shot in the crossbar to 2-0 before half the period was played.
But the guests from Karlstad were always involved in the game and also got the reduction.
A cheeky pass by Victor Ejdsell from behind Frölundakassen, reached Linus Johansson who put it 1-2.
Frölunda was in the driver's seat until the middle of the middle period when Färjestad scored two goals and it was 4-4.
But again Frölunda took the initiative just before the second break and it was Joel Lundqvist who stayed ahead and steered the puck to 5-4.
In the final period, it was the guests who for the third time brought in a disadvantage when Daniel Viksten made 5-5.
- Understand that the audience thinks it's fun.
But it feels a little sad that we pick up several times, says Daniel Viksten, who scored the 5-5 goal.
