- It was a fantastic evening and we played well in some periods and less well in others and managed to sort it out.
It will be fun to meet Bollnäs, says team captain Martin Karlsson, who scored the last two goals, at a table on the ice and at the same time says that he has signed a new contract for the club.
Fans rejoiced at the news.
At the same time, Bollnäs beat Broberg 7-0 and went to the semis.
Viilla created chances to decide much earlier.
There was not much that spoke for Sirius in the third quarter-final meeting.
The team played away against the series sovereign Villa, who have not lost a single home game in the entire season and were missing three supporting pieces.
2-0 already after three minutes
The uphill was steep when Villa already had 2-0 after 3.21.
At 2-0, Erik Säfström passed all over the court and Felix Pherson had a freeway to the goal and made no mistake.
But Sirius got up and went up to 2-2.
Johan Löfstedt thumped in a corner to make it 3-2 for Villa midway through the first half.
- It was a nice feeling and I didn't feel any ice at the meeting, says Löfstedt to Elitserien Live.
"Gives them a fight all the way in"
Even when Christoffer Edlund stayed in front near the goal and made it 4-2 after 13 seconds into the second half, Sirius did not give up.
Matteus Liw made contact with his 4-3 goal.
- We should be proud of the effort and we will give them a fight all the way in.
Unfortunately, it doesn't hold up against such a good team.
We are doing fantastically well with the conditions that were, with manpower and so on, says Sirius Ted Bergström Heramb.
When Martin Karlsson came around on the left side and thumped in 5-3 with 13 minutes, however, Sirius was a beaten team.
Karlsson also scored 6-3 in extra time.
Then he found his way to that table.
