Reigning champion Luleå is through to the SM playoffs. In the semi-final series, a meeting with rivals Skellefteå awaits. They will be emotionally charged matches, says goalkeeper Matteus Ward to TV4 Play after 1–0 and 4–2 wins against Frölunda.
SportsFrölunda coach Robert Ohlsson was not happy after the first SM quarter-final against Luleå. "A very, very, very, very, very thin expulsion," he said of the decision.
SportsAfter twelve straight victories, Frölunda knows what it feels like to lose a hockey game again. Linköping beat the SHL league leader 2-1 - partly thanks to an almost impossible video review. "I didn't know if the puck was in or not," says match hero and home goalie Waltteri Ignatjew.
Ice hockeyNew Frölunda coach Robert Ohlsson got a dream start – in the end. Frölunda was occasionally pressed, but won the premiere against Linköping with 2–1 in the end. After their equalization it was a mental battle, says Ohlsson.
SportsFrölunda has got a new coach – for the first time in twelve years. At the same time, seven other SHL clubs have also changed coaches before the season. It will probably be noticed a bit in the clubs, says new Frölunda coach Robert Ohlsson.
Ice hockeyRobert Ohlsson is clear as new head coach in Frölunda after Roger Rönnberg, the club announces on its website. Last season's gold coach with Skellefteå has signed a four-year contract.

Ice hockeyMax Lindholm makes his debut in Tre Kronor at the Swiss Hockey Games. He travels there with restored self-confidence – after scoring two goals in the 6–3 win against Färjestad. Fantastic, says the Skellefteå forward.
Ice hockeyThe Swedish champion Skellefteå continues to lose. In the replay of the spring's SM-final, the team was shut out at home against Rögle, who won 2–0. The guys lack self-confidence right now, says coach Andreas Falk.
SportsMalmö took their first three-pointer away when they defeated a weak Skellefteå with 7–3. The restart after the national team break became a goal-rich story where Skellefteå's downturn continued – despite the coach change.
SportsRobert Ohlsson breaks the silence after being fired from Skellefteå. He had to leave the club last week, shortly after saying in a radio interview that he doesn't care about the supporters. That interview was a own goal by me, he says to TV4 Hockey.
Ice hockeyTerrible 0–4 after less than a quarter – and in the end 0–5 against German Bremerhaven in the quarterfinals of the CHL. The new coaching constellation in Skellefteå got a nightmare start in the first match since gold coach Robert Ohlsson was fired.
SportsIce hockey coach Robert Ohlsson led Skellefteå to the SM gold in the spring. Now he gets fired – this shortly after the coach made a controversial statement about the club's fans. I don't care about the supporters, said Ohlsson.
Ice hockeyBrynäs has made a fantastic start to their return to SHL. After their sixth consecutive win, 3–1 against Timrå, the Gävle team leads the hockey league. I'm not shocked, says Brynäs defender Victor Söderström.
Ice hockeyHe scored his first SHL goal just a few days ago. In the derby against Luleå, Oskar Vuollet scored three more. It's hard to take in, says Skellefteå's 18-year-old hockey talent.
Ice hockeyYoung Skellefteå impressed when they won their home premiere against Växjö with 4–0. The reigning champions lined up with six juniors, but it was still no contest. Skellefteå started their home games in the same brilliant way as they ended the season last spring.
SportsAfter two national championships, four CHL titles and over 400 wins, there is only one season left for Roger Rönnberg in Frölunda's jersey. But he himself does not attach much importance to it. You have to be in the present when you're involved in elite sports, says the 53-year-old.
