Playoffs are almost here

You can feel it. the Scandinavium was rocking Saturday. Färjestad and Frölunda played hard and chippy. Frölunda went after Färjestad's best player right from the start, crushing him against the boards. The match was tied at the end of regulation and overtime. Färjestad deserved to win, they played harder. Chara and Souray were brilliant, but nasty too. Chara gat a 5 minute major that let Frolunda back into the game. He was clutching and grabbing and giving guys the face wash. But Frolunda are a tough team and they do not shy away from contact. They hit back and played well. Henke (Lundqvist) was the star stonpping a oint blank shot at one point without his stick! That has got to hurt.

There is some English reporting on the league here - http://www.farjestadsbk.se/ along with Sheldon Souray's diary.
