Collapse!
There is no other word to use. Two game sevens, two huge collapsing sounds heard.
The first was the loudest; HV-71 choking on a hockey puck fired right at them. They were leading the game 3 - 1 and Färjestad came back to win 4 - 3! What a collapse from the team that lead the league all season and had one of the best goaltenders in Stefan Liv. He is streaky however, and he can play poorly at times, really poorly. Nonetheless, Färjestad found a way to win as the cliche goes and they poured it on. They had trouble scoring goals all season but now everythging they shoot goes in. Amazing.
The second big defeat was Linköping's saddest moment. They had never gone so far in the play-offs before and they were beating the champions to a pulp, they had them three games to one. But then they lost one, then they lost another on home ice to set up game seven away. Then they lost game seven. Three in a row. Ouch.
