Funny how you SAIK fans keep bringing that up, yet you've already forgotten Holloway elbowing Hjalmarsson in the face (which should have been 5+20)... Or how about Goren's "interference" that lead to your 2-0 goal? Or that Zackrisson penalty for breathing too close to Melker Karlsson?... Seriously.

I'm not a SAIK-fan, I hate bandy.
Why I bring it up is because it was a huge mistake that led to an immediate goal and because the image is quite representative of how horrible Kuben is. If I wanted to complain about the calls I could also bring up Jimmie Ericsson breathing too close to a LHC-player in the first period making the guy do a swan-dive, or the boardings on Jimmie Ericsson and Melker Karlsson without a call, the tripping on Victor Arvidsson... you get my drift. I don't blame the judges for the loss, I blame them for ruining the game.
Well, this was surprising. Was out last night and checked the score think midway through the 2nd, and 2-0 SAIK as expected. Then I wake up today and LHC wins it 3-2. Good for me as my option to attend a potential game 6, SAIK @ LHC, has gone way up.
I am no big fan of either team - even if it is nice with Norrland teams in the finals - but I am happy for Bud Holloway. It is nice to see a Canadian thrive in Sweden both hockey-wise and as a person.
I don't care for whoever wins, but I think it would've been very good for the series if Luleå stole this one today. We'll see, but I'm sensing SAIK in 5.
Watched the opener on Saturday in glorious 50" HD. Atmosphere lived up to the billing, shame the game didn't. Feisty but pretty boring overall. Missed game 2, sure it was a lot better.
Clearly, and without any doubt the best team in the league, not just through the playoffs but for a long while through the regular season, too. 'Grats to 'em. Be interesting to see if Holloway is there again next year.
SAIK must be one of the most dominant teams in a long time. Finished first in the standings, didn't lose a single game in regulation in the playoffs and only one loss in total.

Ranks up there with Färjestad 2002 and Frölunda 2005.
