Last week at this time, Frölunda’s second round series with Brynäs was tied up at two games each.
On Monday, Frölunda dominated game five, outshooting Brynäs and taking the game 4-0 against a team that simply seemed to have checked out. Felix Sandström, the Brynäs goalie, had been their best player in the previous games, and yet he was easy to beat in this one.
With a 3-2 lead, all Frölunda had to do was put it away in game six. They tried, you have to give them that, they really laid it on the line. They outshot Brynäs again, but just could not solve Sandström who was back on form.
