Already in the first period, HV71 went up to a 2-0 lead after goals by Joonas Nättinen and Andy Miele nicely played by Fredrik Forsberg.

It was up to the third period when Frölunda equalized with two goals from veteran Joel Lundqvist.

The match went to penalties and Frölunda was stronger there.

Forsberg, who tops the internal points league in HV71, was disappointed with his team after the game.

- We don't have much to play for, but they are the ones who control it.

We get two goals to go on, but then we don't have much of a game at all.

It was fair in the end, but really frustrating, he says and continues:

- It feels like we are getting a little too cowardly.

We don't really get our own game at all.

They are the ones who control the game, so we have to work hard on the defensive end.

Once we get into the offensive zone, we don't have the power.

HV71 is last in the entire SHL.

- When things click, we're really good, but we haven't quite got it.

We sway a little too much.

We make moments that are good, but we don't last 60 minutes.

Forsberg isn't happy with his own play either, despite six goals and six assists this season.

- I thought I started quite well and maintained an okay level.

The last few games I've been really bad.

Both I and the team are really hungry for revenge, says the 25-year-old.
