- It is completely inconceivable, I have never experienced anything like this, says Hammarby's Robin Sundin to Aftonbladet.
According to Bandypuls, it was really upset in the Hammarby camp who thought it was possible to play, as the green spots had been removed with the help of carbon dioxide.
The perception is that it was possible to play the match initially, but the referee team was hesitant until it would last for 90 minutes.
It was judged that security could not be maintained.
"We must be able to guarantee the safety of the players"
- In two zones, the color had dropped and the ice deteriorated significantly in quality from when we were out for the first time at twenty in five.
What will it look like in 20 minutes?
We must be able to guarantee the safety of the players and we can not do that here tonight, says the referee Jacob Sulasalmi to Bandypuls.
The Hammarby players did not agree at all.
- The judges considered that the ice patches were dangerous, that it was a safety risk.
He made the decision completely himself without having a dialogue with any of the teams, says Hammarby's Robin Sundin to Aftonbladet.
Postponing the match to Saturday was also not an option as Hammarby has a match in the same arena, if the ice holds, against Örebro on Sunday.
