"We want to win this tournament. It will be extra fun to play Luleå."
"It was a good game. A hard fought game. Lots of emotions in the game."
About the deciding shot: "I just tried to go in and see what the goalie gives me and then react. I saw he was a little deep in his net so I took advantage. Made a couple of fakes and then went to my backhand."
I believe that the teams supporters are nervous right now.
In the overtime we play four against four.
AND THE GAME SERIES IS TIED TROUGH BROOC LITTLE! The puck went into the net via the goalie Hanses. 3-4 in the game. (Total score: 5-5). Assisted by: Gustav Forsling, Magnus Johansson. Linköping is still playing powerplay.
1.07 minutes 4 on 4 and than three minutes powerplay for Linköping.
JACOB MIKFLIKIER got the puck into the goal! 3-3 in the game. (Total score: 5-4). Unassisted.
MARTIN LUNDBERG pressed the puck into the goal while Rautio didn't see anything. 3-2 in this game. (Total score: 5-3). Assisted by: Niclas Burström, Pontus Petterström.
