After that the teams both had some big wins each before the seventh game.In the game seven, young goalie Felix Sandström with 37 saves and Oskar Lindblom with two goals where the two big heroes that took Brynäs to the final.

In the final they will play HV71 who had a more comfortable semi final beating Malmö who a bit surprisingly had reached the semi finals with 4-1 in games. And as HV71 won the quarter finals 4-0 they have won 8 out 9 games in the final showing good form going into the finals.
