Djurgården will have to do without star striker Dick Axelsson in Saturday’s away game with Rögle. After an incident with Malmö NHL loan officer Fredrik Händemark in the home game against Malmö on Thursday night, both players got angry at each other.
Händemark was expelled by a hook and according to information, Djurgårdsspelaren is believed to have filmed.
In the period break between first and second periods, Axelsson and Händemark continued to enrage each other on the way to the locker room and then less well thought out things should have been said to each other.
The result was a two-minute suspension for Fredrik Händemark for unsportsmanlike conduct, while Dick Axelsson received five plus 20 minutes for the same reason.
– There is nothing I can comment on now during the game, base referee Tomas Thorsbrink tells HockeyNews.se.
Axelsson’s match penalty has been updated to gross (match penalty), which means he has at least one match suspension to look forward to.
– Dick said something to a player from Malmö. A choice of words that you should not make. Then you have five minutes. I think the Malmö players had two minutes and DIck’s choice of words was probably tougher, says Djurgårds coach Robert Ohlsson.
what do you think about it?
– You don’t have to think so much about what I think. But it is clear that it is not good.
How do you follow up as a leader because he is also suspended?
– You have to accept that. This is not the first time that Axelsson has opened his mouth. The boy is also hard to gag, says Ohlsson.
The Djurgården coach was unaware of what happened between Dick Axelsson and Fredrik Händemark, and the penalty of the match, until it came out in the second half.
– I didn’t really know, because I was on my way and I was going to do a C More interview before period and then I ran into the referee in the hallway on the way down and found out that we would play four on five.
Malmö coach Joakim Fagervall was also unaware of the discussion between the players in the hallway on the way to the locker room and therefore had not spoken to Händemark about it.
– But on the other hand, like Robban, they told me that we would play four against four at the beginning of the period and then five against four if nothing else happened.
Fredrik Händemark doesn’t want to say much about what was said between him and Dick Axelsson.
– You can bring “Dicken.” I won’t give you anything, says Händemark.

What has been said remains between the players so far.
– A word fight? What was said or not, can bring “Dicken”, says Händemark.
Djurgården won the match 3-0 after goals from Alexander Holtz, Linus Andersson and William Eklund. For Andersson and Eklund, these were SHL’s first goals in their respective careers.
Djurgårds goalkeeper Niklas Svedberg kept a clean sheet and made all 24 shots.
