At first he tried to smash the club against his own thigh, but after two awkward attempts, Matt Tomkins changed strategy and started swinging at a digital advertising sign behind the substitutes' bench instead.

When the two solid chops later were in pieces, the 28-year-old Canadian went on to end the club's life with a rock-hard swing towards the bench.

Shortly before, he had been replaced after conceding three quick goals in just over two minutes during the opening of the third period.

Three goals which meant that Örebro went up to a 5–2 lead.

Färjestad got up after the goalkeeping shakedown, but they never came closer than Ville Pokka's 5-4 reduction.
