Now there was no court hearing that could be confused.
But the television audience during Thursday’s SHL meeting between Djurgården and Malmö could see the second period begin in Stockholm in a chaotic way, to say the least.
Already in the first During the period, he had been irritated between the profile of Djurgårds Dick Axelsson and Fredrik Händemark from Malmö. At the break afterwards, probably in the players’ hall, the players ended up in a fight, resulting in Axelsson taking a match penalty and finishing play for the night, even before the intermission period started.
Händemark was also sanctioned for the incident, but “only” with a two-minute suspension, also for unsportsmanlike conduct.
During the match time and even just after, it was unclear what had happened.
According to the Swedish hockey regulations for the 2020-21 season, unsportsmanlike conduct must “be judged by the player or leader who does not behave in the sportsmanship of fair play and respect, who insults, mocks, humiliates or offends ” to another person. For a match penalty to be imposed, these are serious offenses.
When Fredrik Händemark stepped up to the microphone for CMore’s interview, he declined to comment on the matter.
– It was nothing special. “You can bring that with you,” he said shortly.
At the post-match press conference, Djurgården coach Robert Ohlsson says according to Expressen and Aftonbladet, among others:
– He (Axelsson) said something to a Malmö player. A word choice you shouldn’t make. Dick’s choice of words was harsher.
On the question of how the matter should be followed up, Ohlsson continues:
– You have to accept that. This is not the first time that Axelsson has opened his mouth. It’s hard to gag on the boy.
So the game itself? Both teams were coming off losses in their respective premieres. For Djurgården, it was all about chasing the first goal of the season after the 0-2 against Frölunda this weekend, but the 1-0, signed by Alexander Holtz after an assist from Tobias Ekberg, would be delayed until the penultimate minute of the second. period.
– It was time to dial. It was a huge relief when he walked in, Holtz told CMore.
In the final period, Linus Andersson rose early to 2-0 and William Eklund nailed the final score 3-0 on an open goal. Thus, Djurgården took the first victory of the season. Rögle then waits on Saturday, but automatically suspended Axelsson.
