It became heated emotions when Luleå fell against Swiss Zug in the CHL premiere. Coach Thomas "Bulan" Berglund lost patience and snarled at the referees.

With five minutes left of the third period, the controversial penalty for Luleå came that made "Bulan" explode.

Hey, what the hell is it about? Damn clowns for hell, give up, he shouted towards the referee team, words that were caught in Viaplay's TV broadcast.

Luleå otherwise got a dream start when 20-year-old Filip Eriksson set 1–0 in powerplay.

Zug equalized at the beginning of the second period and also made 2–1 through NHL-merited Tomas Tatar. Luleå's Heikki Liedes equalized to 2–2 a bit into the third period after video review.

The match went to overtime where Swedish Lukas Bengtsson decided for the Swiss.

Final score: 3–2 to Zug and a tough start for the reigning SHL champions Luleå.
