Ak Bars Kazan

Wednesday 15.01.2014, 16:00 • Ledovyj Dvorec (Cherepovets) • KHL

		It seemed very much like an equal game for extra time but finally AK Bars and Pesonen decided the match for themselves. The visitors claimed the 3 points with this lucky win, Cherepovets cannot score any today. The match was exciting in the second and third period with lots of shots and chances despite only 3 goals. Thanks for attention! ---- (18:20:27)
	60:00	Game over.
	59:45	Kiselevich had a shot but way too wide.
	59:30	He had to go back, no goals but only half a minute to go.
	59:20	Finalm minute, expectedly Stepanek is going to slip off the ice to be replaced bye a player. He is doing it NOW!
	58:25	Despite home team was in power play formation, no serious shot was fired.
	57:45	Kazan was able to escape this 2 minute time period without big danger. Now full strength.
	55:45	Varnakov is out for 2 minutes due to tripping. Power play for Cherepovets.
	54:23	Goal for AK Bars! PESONEN has scored the goal for Ak Bars! Only a few minutes to go and leading the match! Pesonen was able to score after a mistake by Severstal's defence.
	54:01	Full strength for home team now.
	52:00	Penalty for Cherepovets for 2 minutes. Stolyarov is out due to tripping.
	50:45	Zemchenko missed a chance after a great pass, he slid to the left, had a chance to shoot but a defender blocked the puck with his body.
	50:00	Very long pass towards nowhere ahead by Ak Bars, faceoff in front of their goal.
	49:40	Stapleton had also a chance in the middle, this time Stepanek was the man to beat, it wasn't successful.
	48:40	Kiselevich is active, he had a shot from the left wing position but it was flying a little bit wide.
	46:20	Puck is in the goal of Stepanek, but after stopping the game so no goals after that mayhem.
	45:55	Pesonen's distant shot was too wide.
	45:40	Svitov wanted to score from the right side, Stepanek saved again.
	44:25	Shot of Kuvaev from the left wing position was deflected by Barulin. It was quite a big chance.
	43:15	Petruzalek took on a solo in the middle, but Kiselevich was able to tackle him before he could have shot.
	41:30	Pass for Kiselevich is too long, faceoff is coming.
	40:50	Fortunately the connection is back again, it is repaired, we can watch the match now!
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Second period was better with its 16-23 shot rate and shots on goal were: 9-14. Both teams had chances and scored once and once. The third period can decide now, stay with us! ----
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	38:18	Both teams now in full strength.
	36:18	This period is full of penalties. Alexander Svitov is out for 2 minutes from Kazan.
	33:22	It didn't last long. This time a penalty for Tereschenko due to tripping too but now from Ak Bars Kazan. 4 against four.
	33:20	Caslava is penalised for 2 minutes due to tripping. Power play for Kazan.
	31:30	The connection is totally lost with Cherepovets, no stream is coming now from any sources. We have to change to a simple result-following modd until the connection goes right again. Thanks for patience!
	31:10	Burmistrov had a chance right in front of Stepanek, but his shot missed the target by a few centimeters.
	29:21	Game stopped, a penalty is starting. Kiselevich is out for 2 minutes from Cherepovets. Power play for Ak Bars after this hooking.
	27:25	Stepanek saved after the slight shot of Stapleton from the middle part of the zone.
	26:20	Still power play for AK Bars.
	25:25	Goal for AK Bars! Power play was good enough for AK Bars! Stepanek couldn't save after the pass of Burmistrov, VARNAKOV got the puck on the right side very close to the goal and he shot it into the net! 1-1!
	24:22	Full strength for Ak Bars after a very long time.
	23:23	Yevseyenkov is penalised but we still don't know the lenght. Mons is sitting on the bench, Yevseyenkov is out from the ice completely. The penalty is 5+20 minutes.
	22:20	The power play is not finished, because it was not a 'normal' 2 minute penalty.
	21:00	Goal for Severstal! Buchnevich passed from the right side to the middle, KOVYRSHIN has taken the puck, pulled it to the right and shot into the net next to the lying Barulin. 1-0 for Severstal!
	20:45	Don't forget, there is a still long-lasting penalty of Ak Bars Kazan, more than 3 minutes.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Stepanek saved his team several times so far, no doubt. Ak Bars Kazan was closer to the goal, but Severstal also had some chances. The game is fully open, but a little bit boring. Stay with us, we can expect a lot of improvement! ----
	20:00	1st period finished.
	19:45	Zakharchuk is out for 5+20 minutes due to rough interference. Cherepovets can play in power play! Tkachev is sitting for that 5 minutes on the bench.
	19:15	Osipov wanted to shoot but a defender blocked it.
	18:50	The last minute is starting soon, there were not many goal-scoring chances in this period.
	17:30	Interesting that there was only one penalty in this match so far.
	16:20	Stapleton had a chance at first, then Golubev repeated the shot, Stepanek saved both times.
	15:50	Offside by the visitors, Tkachev was in a wrong position.
	14:40	It's spectacular that how much Bars attack more than the opponent.
	14:00	Nice trial by Tkachev in the middle near the blue line but Stepanek won the battle again.
	13:15	Golubev had a great idea to slide around the net and wanted to put the puck into the goal on the other side, but Stepanek saved!
	12:58	Golubev is out for 2 minutes due to boarding. Power play for Cherepovets.
	12:00	The crowd is not too loud, sometimes it seem like it would be played in front of completely no one.
	10:50	Varnakov had a dangerous situation from the right side, but his shot was out of range, too wide.
	09:40	Stepanek is slightly injured after a coming together with a visitor attacker. No problem, he can continue.
	08:00	Commercial break after a safe-save by Stepanek.
	07:05	Zemchenko had a getaway, passed to Dedunov in the middel, he fired the puck very strongly but Barulin was able to deflect it with his body!
