    Växjö is waiting as Mannheim is getting back on the ice.
     
    The referees are back on the ice.
    This Växjö fan never thought he would see his beloved team be outplayed by a German team.
    Jamie Tardif puts Mannheim 1-0 ahead in their clash against Växjö. That means we have seen goals in all our early games within first 10 minutes.
    "Miserable. Must change the lines", says this unhappy Växjö supporter.
     
    We will be back in 15 minutes for the second period.
     
    Växjö got to work on their offence, if they want to gain some points on Mannheim.
     
    First period is over. Mannheim played very well so far and created many chances. The lead due Tardifs powerplay goal is totally deserved.
     
    20:00
    1st period finished.
     
    18:30
    Murphy with the chance to tie the game, stopped by Endras.
     
    16:55
    What a mistake by Fischer in the defense. But the swedish attacker can't control the puck directly. Otherwise he would have been alone in front of Endras.
     
    15:25
    He might be old on the paper, but Metropolit is playing a great game so far. Tardif and Plachta should score on his great passes.
     
    13:54
    Endras can't control the rebound very well and Växjö with another shot, but it got stopped by Endras glove. The first real chance for the swedes so far.
     
    13:25
    Mannheim with another shot on Växjös goal. Very much to do for Steen so far.
     
    12:20

    Mannheim back to full strength.
     
    10:20
    Johnson with a shot on Endras, but the german goalie can stop it.
     
    08:51
    No chance so far for the swedes in that powerplay. Mannheim is defending it very well.
     
    08:26
    Buchwieser receives two minutes for high stick. So the first powerplay for Växjö after the powerbreak.
     
    08:15
    Now a delayed penalty against Mannheim.
     
    05:41
    The swedes are back to full strength and got another shot on Endras goal.

    00:01

    Around 50 swedes can be very loud.
     
    The first bully is just seconds away. Mannheim has to play without Jochen Hecht again and Dennis Endras will start in the net.
     
    Welcome to Mannheim, to the game between Mannheim and Växjö.

    Alert and awake. Game day and the last game before the SHL premiere. Want to see straight and fast play today.
     
    Game four of the Champions Hockey Legaue is getitng closer and the Adler Mannheim are going to face the Växjö Lakers again. And the german team still got an open bill with the swedish top team, since they lost the opening game of the CHL in Sweden with 6:1. It was a close game with the score of 1:1 at the beginning of the third period, but then the Lakers went away with five unanswered goals.
     
    Since Växjö lost their two games against Prague they are tied up wirth Mannheim at the bottom of Group G with three points. Mannheim just won their first home game last thursday with 3:1 against KalPa Kuopio and received their first points in the CHL. After one goal out of the first two games Mannheim struck back in their home game against Kuopio. Especially forward Jon Rheault put a good performance on the ice with two goals. The american forward, who plays in his second year in Mannheim will go into todays game as Mannheims Cramo Top Scorer.
