From the very beginning, the match offered fast-paced ice hockey with open goal chances in games and minutes.

"Open dampers back and forth", as Skellefteå's forward Rickard Hugg put it in an interview with CMore.

Skellefteå began their visit to Småland by taking the lead twice, through goals from Jonathan Pudas and Jonathan Johnson respectively.

Kim Rosdahl and Jonas Engström were the players who made sure that Oskarshamn quickly equalized Skellefteå's management.

Just a few seconds after Jonas Engström's equalizing goal, Robin Norell put Oskarshamn in the lead

"Enough to see today"

If the teams' respective coaches had now used the first period break to imprint defensive play, the message would obviously not have reached the players.

Jonas Engström and Patrik Karlkvist in Oskarshamn and Simon Robertsson and Melker Karlsson in Skellefteå all scored in the goal record during the start of the second period.

- The pucks go in, there is good traffic on both goals, said Skellefteås Melker Karlsson to CMore in the second period break.

- It's probably terribly worth seeing today.

Two teams that are effective on the chances, said Oskarshamn's team captain, and two-goal shooter, Jonas Engström to CMore.

4.46 into the third period, veteran Joakim Lindström, who turns 38 on December 5, signed for Skellefteå.

Just a few minutes later, Hynek Zohorna made it 6-5 to Oskarshamn.

Two pucks in an empty bag

With 2.29 left of the third period, coach Robert Ohlsson chose to pick out goalkeeper Gustaf Lindvall in a final attempt to get points on the long journey home.

Then both Fredrik Olofsson and Philip Samuelsson took the opportunity to send the puck into the empty box ..
