HV71 got a nine-day match break at the same time as Björklöven and Modo sucked the must out of each other in a semi-final series over seven matches.
Something that was clearly noticed when the first Hockeyallsvenska final began on Saturday night.
At first it was basically just a team on the court and after a while the home goals started to roll in at a steady pace as well.
After the first period, the score was 4-1 to HV and then you should keep in mind that they had bids for more goals at the same time as Jonas Gunnarsson in the home team's box should have saved Alexander Wiklund's 3-1 reduction.
- We were eager to play, we have been waiting for this for a long time so it was a hell of a joy, says HV71's sniper Fredrik Forsberg to C More.
At the beginning of the second period, Löven got a golden opportunity to get back into the match when Simon Önerud took on a four-minute suspension for high club, but they did not get any dividends despite a pretty good powerplay game.
Instead, they saw Tyler Kelleher score 5-1 a while later and the match looked decided.
Towards the end of the third period, Björklöven took out the goalkeeper in one last desperate attempt to make a match of it all.
But instead of a reduction, they saw Christoffer Törngren put the nail in the coffin with his 6-1 goal in the open box.
