Unsettling images of Max Friberg – reassuring news

Frölunda's team captain Max Friberg suffered a nasty blow in the SHL meeting with Växjö. He was completely groggy when he was led off the ice. Too bad to see, of course, says teammate Nicklas Lasu to TV4 Play.

The national team forward collided with teammate David Edstrom in the offensive zone at the end of the second period, flew up in the air, and landed on his head before lying on his back.

The spectators in Scandinavium fell silent, and players from both teams gathered around the Frölunda star.

He's not the one who usually stays down and especially not on his back, says Lasu to TV4 Play during the second intermission.

Friberg got up, but was quite groggy and needed help from teammates to get off the ice.

He's walking on his own and can move, so that's positive, but it's not fun to see a teammate lying like that, says Lasu.

Before the third period, calming news came from Frölunda coach Roger Rönnberg:

He's not playable in the third period, but he's on his feet. There's no danger, no ambulance needed. But he won't play.

Växjö won the match 2–1.
