The incident occurred five minutes into the second period when Lucas Lagerberg was about to jump onto the ice.
He had time to take a few cuts before hooking the referee from behind in what appeared to be a slew foot on the replays.
– It is a bad split vision from Lagerberg, says expert commentator Per Svartvadet in TV4’s broadcast.
Hellkvist furious
And after video review, the referees made the decision to give him a match penalty.
– Why are you lying down? shouted Björklöven’s head coach Björn Hellkvist at the referee.
– Damn, how weak!
