In terms of play, it was Skellefteå who dominated the first period, but it was Färjestad and Michael Lindqvist who scored the goals.
Lindqvist, who had not received a puck since March 12, first found the cross in powerplay after Linus Johansson overshadowed Skellefteå goalkeeper Gustaf Lindvall in an exemplary way and a little less than four minutes later Lindqvist also put 2-0 after a fine preparation by Martin Johansson and Marcus Nilsson.
- I think there were two pretty good goals, it was nice, Lindqvist says to Cmore.
That he has not found the target since March 12 was not something he put any greater focus on.
- I have no idea how long it has been, we have played well at the end and that is what is important.
In the Skellefteå camp, it was frustrating.
There was a lot of shouting at the referee team during the beginning of the second period and it did not get better after Gustav Rydahl made 3-0 with a fairly simple shot from the right technical circle in a two-on-one position.
A shot Lindvall really should have taken.
