Lukko Rauma
Tuesday 04.11.2014, 17:30 • HK Areena • Champions League
     
    57:09
    They have been gifted some sort of lifeline though, as for interference Jerry Ahtola of the visitors has been sent to the penalty box.
     
    54:07
    Goal for Lukko!
    Lukko Rauma are completely running away with it now! With the puck bouncing everywhere around the crease it falls at the stick of VILLE VAHALAHTI at a very awkward angle on the right, but with Teemu Lassila out of position be brilliantly hits the net! Assistsed by: Aaron Gagnon and Juho Tommila. Powerplay goal. 1-5
     
    53:24
    One of Lukko's players goes crashing into the net, and we're going to have short stoppage here as the goal is going to having to be put back in place! And a penalty has indeed been called on that play, as Otto Karvinen has been punished for interference.
     
    47:38
    And Lukko Rauma have now taken a timeout, they know that this is a perfect opportunity to completely finish the game, and maybe the tie!
     
    47:38
    TPS are looking a bit sorry for themselevs now as now they're going to have to defend on a Lukko five on three! Otto Karvinen has let his team down with slashing!
     
    46:37
    And we have a penalty here, and TPS have given two minutes up again as indeed Tadas Kumeliauskas has been called for cross checking.
     
    46:00
    Tadas Kumeliauskas for TPS spins on to the tip of the slot fooling all of his defenders, makes an excellent chance for himself but he can't get the better of the netminder! The hosts have wasted plenty of opportunities today!
     
    42:23
    We already have the first penalty of the third and it's against TPS, as their Otto Karvinen has been hit with a two minute minor for hooking.
     
    38:05
    Goal for Lukko!
    Despite going very little during that time Lukko do have their craved fourth goal! Janne Niskala absolutely blasts it from the point, and JONNE VIRTANEN deftly deflects it into the net! Assisted by: Janne Niskala, Jesse Virtanen. Powerplay goal. 1-4
     
    36:12
    Here's another penalty but this time it's finally against TPS, as their Ilkka Pikkarainen has been charged with kneeing. Lukko could do with striking again to feel even more at ease!
     
    35:23
    Just how many chances does Radek Smolenak want! Taking up a trickling pass by the right hand post he wrists wanting to go upstairs, and it sears over the bar! The netminder would have had trouble stopping that one!
     
    33:38
    Smolenak! Radek Smolenak has not one but two fantastic opportunities when on the doorstep, but somehow Oskari Setanen denies him on both occasions! Such saves can be game changing moments!
     
    32:27
    Lukko just cannot keep out of the penalty box today and here's another two minute minor being called against them, as defenceman Antti Jaatinen has been caught illegally holding.
     
    25:52
    Goal for Lukko!
    The visitors are looking deadly when attacking at times! Set up peeling to the high slot HENRIK FORSBERG wrists with real power, and it flies into the top right hand corner! Assisted by: Janne Niskala. 1-3
     
    24:49
    Just as Harri Tikkanen springs out of the penalty box he finds himself all alone down the left flank, goes for a heavy attempt and near post Teemu Lassila does very well to glove it!
     
    22:49
    The referee has his hand in the air and surprise surprise, it's against against the visitors, as Harri Tikkanen has been penalised for tripping his opponent up.
     
    19:05
    Lukko are seriously rattled now, and incredibly they've taken yet another penalty! Ville Vahalahti is now the guilty party for Lukko as TPS are with all the momentum!
    KOSKIRANTA - 1:2
     
    18:46
    Goal for Turku!
    And TPS have indeed taken full advantage of that opportunity! Intelligent build up play spreading the puck sees it flashed across to the open TERO KOSKIRANTA by the right post, and he finishes it neatly! Assisted by: Radek Smolenak, Ryan Lasch. Powerplay goal. 1-2
     
    17:42
    And that has all of sudden turned into a give on three TPS advantage! Lukko have now been called for having too many men on the ice, and it's a huge chance for the hosts to get back on level terms!
     
    17:14
    Nevertheless out of virtually nothing they have earned the first powerplay of the day, as Lukko Rauma's Teemu Nurmi has been punished for slashing.
    GAGNON - 0:2
     
    12:22
    Goal for Lukko!
    TPS are in danger of being swept away already! No one comes out to meet AARON GAGNON as he speeds in down the right wing, and with Teemu Lassila sliding horribly all around the place he slides it home! Assisted by: Jerry Ahtola, Janne Niskala. 0-2
     
    10:31
    Koivisto! It could and maybe should have been two already for Lukko! The TPS defence goes missing as a sliding feed slides through to the far post from the left, but Henrik Koivisto at point blank range fails to beat the netminder! He had the goal at his mercy!
    MIKKOLA - 0:1
     
    03:17
    Goal for Lukko!
    As soon as Lukko get set up in the attacking zone for the first time they strike! ILKKA MIKKOLA lurking on the left faceoff circle is fed with a teasing dish, and he one times it under Teemu Lassila! Assisted by: Aaron Gagnon. 0-1
