Ak Bars Kazan
Tuesday 11.03.2014, 13:00 • Sibir Ice Palace • KHL
     
    There's the final buzzer, and in a stunning match Sibir have shocked the whole of the KHL by thrashing Ak Bars Kazan 7-1 and in the process going up 2-1 in the series! Jonas Enlund is the hero as he grabbed a hat trick for himself but Dmitry Monya, Igor Ignatushkin, Alexey Kopeikin and Oleg Gubin also got in on the act. Mikhail Varnakov managed to find the net for Ak Bars but that won't be any consolation for them. Thanks for following the game with us, and join me again soon for Torpedo Nizhniy Novgorod against Salavat Yulaev Ufa! (15:36:53)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:50
    And already we're into the final few seconds of a simply perfect match for Sibir
     
    59:42
    Sibir killed that extended penalty well and they're back to full strength
     
    56:21
    Nikulin who set up the only Ak Bars goal so far sends the puck from the blue line into the crease but this time it misses everyone
     
    55:42
    For high sticking against Yarullin Vladimir Butuzov has been penalised and Sibir will most probably finish the match on the penalty kill
     
    54:57
    Janne Pesonen on the left flank finds room to squeeze in a wrist shot but Koskinen's glove freezes it without too much trouble
     
    54:44
    Both teams are again back at full strength
     
    54:29
    Evgeniy Bodrov makes a horrible mistake in his own zone handing the puck to Kugryshev but the Sibir forward can't control it with his stick!
     
    53:50
    Ak Bars move offside as they could have had a three on one breakaway
     
    52:44
    This time the referees can't break a bust-up up before punches are thrown and Svitov and Romanov have both been charged with roughing
     
    51:22
    As Koskinen covers up a low Yarullin shot with traffic in front of him it gets hot again out there between the players! Ak Bars haven't helped themselves today at all
     
    50:26
    The visitors are now back to full strength and with this match getting seriously embarrassing they will be wanting the final ten minutes to pass as quickly as they can
     
    49:22
    Goal for Sibir! OLEG GUBIN finishes off a wonderful tic tac toe play with one timing the puck home from the doorstep, powerplay goal and it's 7-1! Assists- Alexander Kutuzov and Sergey Shumakov
     
    48:26
    You can guess what's coming, yes it's another Ak Bars penalty. Alexander Osipov needlessly for slashing has been handed a two minute minor and Sibir have a two man advantage for now
     
    48:23
    Koskiranta! He checks sharply into the the crease from the right and Garipov with his shoulder denies him!
     
    47:32
    Ak Bars are taking out all of their frustrations and in the process putting themselves at risk of conceding even more, Stepan Zakharchuk for checking to the head has received a 2+10 penalty now
     
    46:01
    We have a mini fight on our hands! Nikulin has a wrestling duel with Lehtera and both are on their way to the penalty box for that
     
    45:08
    Goal for Ak Bars! MIKAHIL VARNAKOV deflects in a heavy Ilya Nikulin slapshot from the point with his stick and he gives the away fans something to cheer about, powerplay goal and it's 6-1! Assists- Ilya Nikulin
     
    44:26
    For delaying the game Lekomtsev has been called and Ak Bars have a powerplay chance here to get a goal for pride
