"I think it's pretty cowardly when a coach comes after you between periods. But I'm living in their heads without paying rent right now. If they come after me, that's great, I love it," Shinnimin tells TV4 Play.

The brawl, which broke out during the first period, was caused when Skellefteå's Andreas Johnson slapped Shinnimin on the arm. According to Shinnimin, Falk had his say about it.

"He grabbed me from behind and started talking about the slashing. He thought I was filming and started the usual nonsense."

A security guard had to intervene and separate Shinnimin and Falk, TV images from TV4 show. Head referee Daniel Wessner did not see the situation in the players' corridor.

"We understand that things happened, not exactly what happened," he tells TV4 Play.

Skellefteå won the match 1–0 after a penalty shootout.
