The two best team in Sweden met up for game three of the final, and once again Frölunda came charging right out of the gate.
Frölunda set up a furious tempo, but it was evident that the referees had gone back from the playoff hockey rulebook to the regular season rulebook, which is something I applaud.
Frölunda was slow to adapt to the switch, as evidenced by the early penalties taken by Andreas Johnson and Artturi Lehkonen. Fortunately their penalty kill was on point, and Skellefteå had no scoring chances during the power plays.
