    My name is Efraim Larsson and I hope you've enjoyed my live report of this game. (23:07:06)
     
    Head coach of Frölunda, Roger Rönnberg after the game:

    "I think we had problems setting up the intensity in the beginning, just like the first game against Tappara. I don't think we played good enough in the first period 'cause we made a couple bad and late calls which caused us trouble. In the second period though we stepped up a bit and made the snatch we needed to win the game.

    One reason to our hesitant start might be that our roster have been splitted a lot the latest week with players who have been out on trips with national teams, players who have been injured etc.. That of course have made an impact of that we haven't been able to practice with full lines etc. Of course that isn't the whole truth and there's other reasons that we didn't play as we should have, but we made it and advanced to the quarter finals!

    I can't say we have any special knowledge about IFK Helsinki yet. We met them in European Trophy last year but we don't know nothing more than that. So we have about a month to study videos of them to get as prepared as possible."
     
    Pekka Jormakka MVP for Tappara.
    Andreas Johnsson MVP for Frölunda.
     
    Shots in the 3rd period: 13-5 (totals 35-15)
    Penalty minutes: 2-4 (totals 8-6).
     
    Frölunda wins it with 4-2 and wins the series with 9-3. I'll now head down to the dressing rooms for post-game commentaries and will be back soon.

    59:00
    It's just a minute left of this game and Frölunda will advance to the quarter finals. They will face IFK Helsinki and thanks to the record from the Group Stage and these two games against Tappara they will have the "advantage" of home ice and play the second game at home.
     
    55:27
    Tappara is playing solid in the PK and manage to fix it. They're now at full strenght.
     
    53:27
    Pasi Puistola of Tappara goes to the penalty box for 2 minutes for Roughing.
     
    53:19
    Frölunda's duo Mathis Olimb and Andreas Johnsson is having a blast out there now. Olimb is a goal post hit from another goal.
     
    51:25
    And just seconds later Frölunda's d-man Elias Fälth gets a great chance in front of the goal but Metsola saves another one.
