The Brynäs captain Johan Larsson was critical of the refereeing in the final loss to Luleå, 1–5. We know that we will have them against us, he says.

It was another frustrating evening for Brynäs, who for the second match in a row lost to Luleå after conceding five goals.

The home team scored two of their goals in numerical superiority.

Larsson thinks that Luleå gets the referee's decisions in their favor.

They miss a high stick on me, they see everything else, so it's sad. They've got everything against Växjö and Frölunda, and they'll probably get it against us too. We'll have to get used to it, says Johan Larsson.

We have to work extremely hard to get a penalty, they get a little more for free, he adds.

He himself was ejected twice by the referee pair Tobias Björk and Christoffer Holm, in the first period for a diving (hooking) in a battle with Luleå's hat-trick scorer Frédéric Allard.

I've never gotten a penalty for diving throughout my entire career. I'm basically free and he's hanging on me with his 100 kilos, I try to get free and fall, he says.

Allard made a diving gesture against Johan Larsson and afterwards criticized the Brynäs captain.

He's done it the entire final series, so he'll probably learn from it. During the season, you get fined for it, we'll see what they do now.

We don't want it in the league and it's just sad that he does it, especially in the final.

The next final match is played in Luleå on Saturday.
