The Little Panther from Kirseberg in Malmö had the big game visit: AIK. As the home team conceded 0-1 in numerical superiority, they were in trouble. But Panther did not give up.
0-1 after the first period did not reflect the game. The match was steady but Panther blunt the offensive. After the 0-4 loss against AIK away from home expecting big crowd, 931 people, in the old epic would trample on and earn the lead.
Instead Panther did an even better second period – but without receive dividends. In the third period did everything. 1-1 came after just four minutes, and in game five against three. Slowly it dawned on Panther that the game was theirs and they took on more and more.
excelled Patrik Blomberg was 2-1 after twelve minutes. Since AIK got a ticket into the game again but Panther retained its position during game three against five for nearly two minutes. 3-1 fought in the open cage and 4-1 became like the last scratch mark on a felled opponent.
