Sometimes the better team simply doesn't get the win. One would be unfair if call Severstal's win non-deserved, but probably every single stats number except goals at the end were in favor of home team. However, 7,400 spectators – mostly fans of home team – were dissapointed at the end with persistent Severstal team scoring crucial PP goal several minutes before final buzzer and Sibir being unable to tie the game on three in remaining time. Great game with surprising outcome! (13:34:32)
