    48:00
    Pelicans playing at full strength.
     
    47:50
    DJ playing ballads over here. Crowd almost asleep.
     
    46:08
    Things heating up in the corner as Sibir take a penalty, too. Hersley for interference.

    Goal for Lahti!
    Another power play goal for Tyrväinen, Hakulinen and Paakkolanvaara -line. Goal scored by TOMMI PAAKKOLANVAARA, assisted by Anrei Hakulinen and Niko Tuhkanen. They make it look easy!
     
    42:42
    Sibir have spent much time in penalty box, and it's time for another penalty. Mensihikov for tripping.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Almost time for the third period!
     
    What a period! The goalies weren't exactly stunning but neither was the defense of either team.
     
    Koskinen with 5 saves, Juvonen 10 saves.
     
    Second period is over! 15 minutes of intermission coming up.
     
    40:00
    2nd period finished.
     
    39:50
    Sibir shot hits the crossbar!
     
    39:45
    Well the refs sure have to work for thei money tonight!
     
    39:09
    Joonas Alanne, tripping. His third penalty of the night.
     
    39:00
    One minute remaining of the second period!
     
    38:40
    And just like that, the powerplay is over.
     
    37:35
    Hard shot by Pietilä but again, too high shot. 24 more seconds of 5 versus 3.
     
    37:10
    Kudelka shoots from the blue-line but fires over the goal.
     
    36:47
    So suddenly, it's Pelicans on two-man advantage!
     
    36:40
    Sibir's Menshikov sits for 2 minutes for slashing.
     
    36:40
    MORE penalties coming up as things get rough in front of the Sibir net! So much action here!
     
    36:15
    And we have another penalty... This time, it's for Sibir.
     
    35:46
    Goal for Sibir!
    Power play goal for Sibir! SERGEI SHUMAKOV! Assisted by Oleg Gubin. Shumakov left no chances for Juvonen on that one.
     
    34:40
    So the play will continue so that Sibir have four men on ice and Pelicans three. Interesting. Lots of space on ice.
     
    34:23
    Sibir pench minor for delaying the game! Two minutes for them too. Penalty will be served by Kugryshev.
     
    34:23
    And Joonas Alanne of Pelicans it was. He will also sit for two minutes.
     
    34:23
    Someone put the puck over the glass, but the players disagree on who it was.
     
    33:54
    Tyrväinen, who is known as a physical player, will sit for two minutes for high-sticking.
     
    33:32
    Sibir have not looked too motivated today. Pelicans players have been quite free to score.
     
    33:00
    Pelicans Lahti now up 4:1 with seven minutes remaining on the second period.
     
    31:49
    Goal for Lahti!
    MIKKO LAHTELA is completely free in front of the net and he scores, following a nice hit in the corner from Mustonen!
     
    30:20
    Nice pass by Kugryshev but Kopeikin can't finish.
     
    29:15
    Sibir have got a grip of the game after the two shocking goals for the Lahti team. No more goals, though...yet.
     
    28:21
    Teams are playing at full strength. Having some problems with marking the times of goals. But they were fast!
     
    26:20
    Goal for Sibir!
    Sibir get on board! Patrik Hersley scores on two-man advantage.
     
    26:12
    Another penalty for Pelicans. Tyrväinen for slashing.
     
    26:10
    Sibir now on powerplay after Mikko Lahtela takes a seat for two minutes.
     
    Definitely no time to update after those two goals!
     
    24:10
    Goal for Lahti!
    Another goal in less than a minute! This time it's JOONAS ALANNE!
     
    24:00
    Goal for Lahti!
    JOEL MUSTONEN scores! Assists from Smotherman and Tuhkanen.
     
    22:00
    Anrei Hakulinen, whom Pelicans recently acquired ftom second-league Mestis, is playing extremely well.
     
    20:01
    Start of 2nd period.
     
    Almost ready to go again!
     
    Two more minutes remaining on the first intermission!
     
    The Pelicans had more energy in the first than Sibir players, but this game does indeed look like a friendly game (which it of course is). No enemies made on the ice yet. Hakulinen, Paakkolanvaara and Tyrväinen made the best impression in first period.
     
    Sibir goalie Koskinen with 11 saves in the first. Juvonen only had to make 3 saves. We are back after the intermission!
     
    20:00
    1st period finished.
     
    19:51
    Nine seconds remaining. Koskinen stops the puck and the players heat up a bit! We haven't seen too much feelings on ice today yet.
     
    19:22
    Power play ends.
     
    18:31
    One minute remaining of the first period.
     
    17:57
    Paakkolanvaara's power play shot hits the post!
     
    17:22
    Another penalty for the Russians! Yefimenko will sit for two minutes for clipping. A little over two minutes remaining of first period.
     
    16:55
    We thought we had a tieing goal for Sibir but no! There was a player on goalie's area. Still 1:0 to Pelicans.
     
    16:02
    Janne Juvonen is just 19 years old but he is playing for Pelicans – mainly as the backup goalie – for fourth seasons this year.
     
    15:49
    Teams are playing at full strength! Juvonen with a couple of nice saves to keep the Lahti team one up.
     
    14:33
    So it's Sibir on powerplay. Puck is moving quite nicely, but we aren't seeing any good shots.
     
    13:48
    Joonas Alanne takes a penalty right afterwards.
     
    12:50
    ANREI HAKULINEN scores for Pelicans on powerplay! Assisted by Tuhkanen and Paakkolanvaara. 7:10 remaining on first period.
     
    11:58
    Another penalty for the Russians. This times it's Davydov for hooking.
     
    10:44
    Sibir's first line, Kugryshev – Koskiranta – Kopeikin with some nice plays in the offensive end, but we're still scoreless here.
     
    09:47
    The crossbar saves Pelicans! Sibir's first goal was close.
     
    08:39
    And that's it for the Pelicans powerplay. Teams are now playing at full strength with 12 minutes to go in first period.
     
    07:45
    Paakkolanvaara gives a nice cross-ice pass to Tyrväinen but he fails to get the puck past Koskinen.
     
    06:08
    Sergei Shumakov, two minutes for tripping.
     
    04:23
    Juvonen makes a good save and gets a round of applause from the audience.
     
    02:54
    Young Sebastian Repo shoots and Koskinen makes an easy save. No dangerous scoring chances for either team yet.
     
    01:22
    The game has started at a low pace and the crowds are quiet,, too. We at the stands can hear what the referees are shouting to the players!
     
    00:24
    The puck has dropped!
     
    00:01
