Djurgården did what they could influence, one can not blame the third or fourth party. Radiosporten hockey expert L-G Jansson.
A goal in the last minute of Vaxjo extinguished the hopes of a SM-quarterfinals. Rather than waiting for quarter final against Brynäs.
After the match at the Royal Court was fully completed Djurgården had a quarterfinal place since it was 3-3 in Växjö match against Luleå.
Djurgården had picked up the point they needed.
But Lulea took out goalkeeper to win and take third place, something that failed.
Vaxjo scored and took sixth place.
A right place to SM-quarterfinals would have meant both just over a week off to rest and a more favorable opponent in the quarter – if it gets the victory in the eighth.
Instead starts eighth finals, that is played in a best of three games, already on Thursday and it will be Brynäs which stands for the resistance.
Djurgården went out in round of last year – to Lulea – but the time was on the site a success. This season a disappointment when a quarterfinal spot was the goal.
But Djurgårdens conclusion to the series has not been good and the team took only two wins the last six matches.
For Färjestad, who finished fifth place, waiting Lulea in the Swedish Championship quarterfinals.
The whole court was about to fall when the 17-year-old center talent Marcus Davidsson ruled 1-0 in SHL debut.
– I can not describe with words … I could hardly believe myself that it went in. Fantastic fun, he said to CMore.
The problem was that Vaxjo around the same time also did 1-0 – and the fly even 2-0.
Smålanders went up to 3-0 before Lulea started his pickup.
The home fans were torn between hope and despair.
Färjestad was already clear to SM quarterfinals coach Tommy Samuelsson chose to rest back the star Magnus Nygren, Tomas Forest and Joel Eriksson Ek.
Färjestad played really well at the start of the second period, then also Antti Tyrväinen equalized when he had an open goal on a nice behind-the-back pass from Travis Turnbull.
Djurgården, however, took over again and Matt Anderson had to open up to 2-1 since Marcus Högström first dotted post.
Marcus Sörensen and Mikael Ahlen made Djurgårdens goal in the third period.
