		Thanks for following the game with us ! Have a nice evening ! (19:29:55)
		Vadim Berdnikov and Vadim Shipachyov are the names of the two Severstal goal scorers in shootout. The extra point is well-deserved as the team was more active after the first period than their opponents.
	65:00	Game over.
		Goal for Severstal! VADIM BERDNIKOV is credited with the decisive shootout attempt.
		Vadim Schipachyov scores for Severstal and the shootout is already won by the guests.
		Tim Stapleton for Dinamo but his shot only hits the chest of the goalie.
		The next Severstal shooter and he fails.
		Irgl takes a lot of time and fails to score.
		Berdnikov for Severstal with a nice back hand move and the goal !
		Start of shootout.

	63:35	On the other side Haugen blocks the shot to the side.
	63:20	A long-distance shot by Dinamo...
	62:00	Dinamo just stays in their own zone most of the time. Looks almost like they want to force a shootout.
	60:01	Overtime began.
		And we're going to see overtime soon - both teams have gained one point each but who gets a second?
	60:00	3rd period finished.
	58:00	The last two minutes were announced. Everything can still happen.
	56:44	Goal for Dinamo Minsk! And Dinamo scores the third one in power play for the equalizer ! Pavelski gives the puck to Irgl at the left wing and then the cross pass finds TIM STAPLETON who has no problems from a short distance ! Assisted by Joe Pavelski and Zbynek Irgl.
	56:16	Stanislav Yegorshev (Severstal) gets 10+2 minutes for a nasty check against the head. His "victim" was Sergei Drozd.
	53:30	It looks a bit like Dinamo is shocked. They are not able to enter the Severstal zone while the guests are fast with counter-attacks.
	51:33	Goal for Severstal! VADIM SHIPACHYOV gets the pass from the blue line and from a half right position he fires it past Haugen. The guests are in front for the first time ! Assisted by Stanislav Yegorshev.

		Severstal was the more active team in the middle period and thus the equalizer is well-deserved.

	39:49	A shot from the side by Drozd goes wide.
	38:55	Again Haugen covers the puck up in the last moment.

	35:58	Cory Murphy (Dinamo) gets two minutes for cross-checking.
	35:38	And Severstal wants more. One of their forwards tries to get the puck into the bottom corner aggressively but Haugen uses his blockers effectively. And we see fists fyling again.

	24:48	Severstal increases the pressure again. Several good scoring chances.
	22:30	Both teams want the next goal and do everything for it.
	20:53	What a huge chance for Dinamo Minsk. First Pavelski and then a team colelague try to get the puck over the goal line from a short distance but somehow it stays outside.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.

		Severstal Cherepovets is where home side Dinamo Minsk wants to be soon - in a top 8 position of Western Conference that is enough to qualify for the Gagarin Cup playoffs. Severstal has 51 points in 34 games while Dinamo earned 44 points with one game more played. Dinamo has started a month-long home stint with two wins in a row (2-1 vs Dinamo Riga, 3-1 vs Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk). Severstal is at the end of a rod trip and in the last game they won 1-0 against Vityaz Chekhov. Both teams met at the end of November and Severstal had a 4-3 home win after shootout. A fully open game can be expected with no favourites in this constellation.
		Welcome. Game starts at 17:00 CET.
