It was when Frölunda chased a draw at the beginning of the third period in semi-final two against Luleå that the team suffered a significant expulsion.
Jan Mursak was pushed in the back, turned around and gave again by cross-checking Luleå's Oscar Engsund over the neck.
The referees videotaped the incident and gave Mursak a five-minute suspension and match penalty.
But the situation was not reported to the disciplinary committee - which makes Luleå's sports director furious.
- They judge that cross-checking is not powerful enough.
I do not understand anything, says Stefan "Skuggan" Nilsson to NSD.
"Opposing us"
The explanation Luleå received from the referee is, according to Nilsson, that Mursak's arms were not sufficiently extended in the situation.
An explanation Nilsson does not buy.
- I think their handling of this is horrible, and I'm really pissed.
- I can only interpret it in one way.
In the group that has the task of watching events like these, there are people who want to oppose us in Luleå Hockey.
They obviously make completely different values when it comes to us.
Luleå won the match 4-2, it is now 1-1 in matches.
