	2. series 1:1	Similarly to HIFK goal, Heikkinen slides it between the goalies's pads.

	1. series 1:0	Wrister by Virta, Lankinen saved.
	1. series 1:0	Deke and Puustinen puts it between the legs.
		Start of shootout.
		For me it looked like TPS won the coin toss. The home team will start the shootout though.
		No goals in little over two minutes of 4-on-3 including a but under delayed penalty. About seven and half minutes on 3-on-3 didn't see goals either.
	70:00	Overtime finished.
		TPS timeout now.
	68:44	Spina has had a long shift and he gives the puck to Setänen. Faceoff at the TPS zone.
	67:44	Finley shoots to the loose puck, Setänen saves. HIFK continues in the offensive zone but then Setänen freezes.
	66:06	Quick return to 3-on-3 after Setänen freezes the puck and ends the momentum for HIFK.
	64:40	Taimi hits the post with a slapper.
		HIFK uses its timeout.
	63:59	Leino wins hybrid icing battle, goes around the net and Lindsten trips him.
	63:00	Some chances for each team but no goals in three minutes.
	60:01	Overtime began.
		TPS was thinking that this would be 4-on-4. While realizing it's 3-on-3., they try to change a player but no avail.
		Rarely yes, but there was one in deciding game of Olympic qualification a month ago.
		3-on-3 overtime now. There is a lot of space, but rarely we see this kind of situation with high stakes.
Kissa Eroneeeen!!! #HCTPS tasottaa viimisel minuutilla kerrankin! #CHLfi — T. Virta (@tunsbe1987) October 11, 2016 "Cat Erooooneeen! TPS ties the game at the last minute for once!"
	60:00	3rd period finished.
		It's 4:4 and aggregate is 5:5. Overtime follows.
		The previous goal was scored on 6-on-5.
	59:05	Goal for TPS! Taimi tries his best to escape penalty for closing the puck. Maybe he should have done it as TPS grabs the puck and ELMERI ERONEN puts it in. Assisted by Illka Pikkarainen.
		Home team at full strength.
	57:37	19 seconds remaining on the penalty clock.
	56:43	Heikkinen's stick breaks in a shot. The puck bounces to Virta who shoots and Lankinen makes a save.
	55:56	A breakthrough by TPS and Finley has to break rules. Late power play for visitors.
	55:30	Heiskanen tries to feed Partanen but the puck goes little too far from the latter and puck goes well wide.
	54:33	Some pushing and shoving after the whistle at TPS end.
	54:09	Goal for IFK Helsinki! Another shot by TEEMU ERONEN, again it hits the post but this time it bounces in. Siiki had lost his stick so Eronen had more space than usual. Assisted by Mika Partanen, Juuso Puustinen.
	52:50	Eronen dekes the forward, shoots and hits the post.
	51:51	Heikkinen shoots from blueline but Lankinen won't give a rebound this time.
	50:28	Vähätalo gets 1-on-1 chance against Lankinen but the goalie saves.
	48:30	Eronen kicks the puck out of danger ahead of TPS net.
	47:00	A shot by Taavitsainen but Virtanen can't get to the rebound.
	45:48	Tamminen steals the puck in the offensive zone but can't get it past Setänen.
	42:30	TPS has had better control in the early minutes of 3rd period.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		In 2014-15 there were five and in 2015-16 four series which needed overtime to settle the series. From the nine, three have been settled in overtime, six needed shootout.
		Last year, TPS was involved in the only double draw in the Champions Hockey League history so far. In the quarter-finals against fellow Finnish team Lukko. After 3:3 in Turku and 1:1 in Rauma, Lukko won the series in shootout.
		In the second period both teams had strong phases. HIFK had big mistakes early which led to TPS goals. At least 20 minutes to go. With teams closely matched, the overtime is possible.
		Shots on goal in second period 13:8 in favour of TPS, 22:17 in total.
		3rd period begins at 20:42.
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:16	A play by Swedes: Tallinder shoots, Thorell gets to the rebound but a good play by Grillfors weakens the shot.
	38:15	Lindsten re-directs a shot by Forsström but the puck goes wide.
	36:00	Partanen intercepts the pass from Berger and shoots, Setänen saves.
	34:20	A slapper from Aaltonen which Setänen saves ahead of him. He can be thankful for Spina who is first in the rebound.
		Aggregate score now 4:4.
	33:29	Goal for IFK Helsinki! HIFK continues to keep the puck in the offensive zone. Finally MICKE ÅSTEN scores the equalizer past screened Setänen. Assisted by Miro Heiskanen, Thomas Nykopp.
	33:08	Partanen steals the puck from Vähätalo which leads to a strong phase for home team. Setänen is able to freeze the puck and we go to a power break.
		Visiting team at full strength.
	29:00	HIFK keeps the puck in the offensive zone for the first minute of the power play. TPS defensemen Tallinder and Keskitalo do a brilliant job to limit shot chances.
	28:07	Spina and Rask have an altercation in which Spina gets a helmet off from Rask and this leads to a penalty.
	26:00	A borderline check from Keskitalo on Ikonen who loses a stick and goes to the bench.
Melko komea haltuunotto @TTaavitsaine :lta. Sit pikku backhand-forehand ja häkki helisee. Antaa mennä #HCTPS !#CHLfi — T. Virta (@tunsbe1987) October 11, 2016 "Quite a nice reception from Taavitsainen. Then a little bit of backhand-forehand and the net whistles. Let's go TPS!"
	25:00	A strong chance for Kallio but this time HIFK is saved by the post.
	23:55	Co-incidental minors as Puustinen is sent to the box for trip and Thorell for dive.
	22:58	Goal for TPS! Taimi throws a high pass, which TOPI TAAVITSAINEN intercepts from the air. He goes towards the net, dekes and puts the puck past Lankinen. Unassisted.
		Aggregate score now 3:3. Unlike in football, there is no away goal rule, so if the result will stay like this, overtime will follow.
	20:48	Goal for TPS! Berger loses the puck, but Heiskanen knocks the loose puck to ILLKA PIKKARAINEN who wrists the puck past Lankinen. Assisted by Martin Berger, Dave Spina.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Let's Play Hockey, a song by Bill Misener, played at the rink, which means the second period is about to start.
		Both teams had nine shots on goal in the first period.
Toinen kymppi oikein hyvä. #hifk haluaa jatkoon, kuten pitääkin. Jatkakaa. #chlfi — Red_Beast (@Punainenpeto) October 11, 2016 "The second part was very good. HIFK wants to advance as it should be. Continue."
		Initially not announced, Nykopp was credited with second assist on the first HIFK goal.

		Early phase of the game was strong by the visitors, but HIFK improved steadily during the period. Two goals gave them advantage for now, but the game and series is far from over.
		The game continues at 19:49.

	18:15	Thorell trying to break to the HIFK zone only to be defended by Nykopp.

12:26 IKONEN - 1:1

	11:50	Heikkinen shoots narrowly wide and puck bounces back ahead of HIFK net but TPS won't get another shot.

#StadinKingit, #HifkFans #Kamraatit #Fanijoukko kaikki yhdessä pitävät yllä hyvää menoa! Kuuluu mukavasti kotiin asti! #CHLfi #hifk — Ja_Taala (@Ja_Taala) October 11, 2016 "Everyone is making a great atmosphere. It can be heard easily even back home."
	9:15	Thorell gets the puck past Teppo after defensive zone faceoff win. Counter-attack leads to a shot by Ahtola, Lankinen saves it.

IFK Helsinki team manager Ari Halttunen looked ahead at their Liiga opposition, saying, "TPS is a team that takes time and space away from the opponent. We have to be ready for that and move your legs and the puck. And be ready to battle right from the start. Special teams will play a big role in the game."
