Tuesday 02.12.2014, 17:30 • Kivikylän Areena • Champions League

		Welcome. Game starts at 17:30.
Today Luleå visits my birthcity Rauma. Lukko hasn't been as good as hoped in the past games. Tänään Luleå saapuu vieraaksi synnyinkaupunkiini Raumalle. Lukon pelikään ei ole kulkenut toivotulla tavalla viime aikoina. #CHLfi #lukko — Aleksi Aaltonen (@sporttimaniac) December 2, 2014
		Welcome back! It's CHL time again! Common to both teams for now is that both have difficult times on domestic league. Luleå has lost six straight games in SHL and has fallen from the top places. Now Luleå holds tenth place on Swedish Hockey League. Lukko has played lots of OT's on past month but has lost most of them. One of the biggest reasons to difficult phase is power play, that worked amazingly well, but has regressed during the fall. Lukko's one of the top d-men Mikko Kousa doesn't play today due to injury.

	02:10	Nothing special so far. Couple of easy ones to catch for both keepers.
	06:58	Lukko and Luleå have got their chances to take the lead in this game. Both teams are trying to control the puck and it forces either team to be long periods without puck.
	07:56	Very dangerous tip in by Olavi Vauhkonen! Daniel Larsson has forced to make his best on that one. Nice reaction save with glove.
	08:50	Goal for Lukko! Jesper Piitulainen passes it between the face-off points and there is JANNE NISKALA. He shoots it in and Lukko takes the lead. Assisted by: Jesper Piitulainen, Jonne Virtanen. 1-0

	16:08	Goal for Luleå! It's the Finns! Petrell passes, Näkyvä shoots and NIKLAS FOGSTRÖM tips it in. Assisted by: Kristian Näkyvä, Lennart Petrell. 1-2
	16:25	Goal for Luleå! Under 30 second from the second and it's again behind Setänen! This time it's KARL FABRICIUS and Luleå has strong hold on this game and whole series. Assisted by: Niklas Fogström, Kristian Näkyvä. 1-3
Karl FABRICIUS - 1:3
	19:00	Olavi Vauhkonen has dangerous place to shoot, but it goes wide. From that place you have to do better.

		Goalkeepers saves in first period: Setänen 14 Larsson 6
.@LuleaHockey are 3–1 up after the first period against @TeamRaumanLukko despite conceding first. #CHL — Champs Hockey League (@championshockey) December 2, 2014
		Well that was quite of period! Four goals and all of them pretty out of nowhere. As you can see from the saves, Luleå controlled the game on the first twenty minutes.
"Hey, you! Luleå leads by two, not common these days..." Hallå, hörni! Luleå leder ju med två mål. Det har inte direkt hört till vanligheterna den senaste tiden. — Daniel Moritz (@moritzdaniel) 2. Prosinec 2014
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
	21:40	Lukko has started aggressively. They want to gain control of the game.
	23:44	Penalty for Luleå Lucas Wallmark is punished for hooking. Two minutes power play for Lukko.
	24:36	Lukko's attack has ended now three times in short period of time to off-side. They really have problem to get on offensive zone.
	25:46	Teams are playing on full strength.
	29:15	Penalty for Lukko Rauma Henrik Forsberg get's two minutes for slashing.
Could it have been the case that a frustrated Dixon made a frustrated Lulea? Negative energy? Not on purpose of course, but ... maybe? Kan det varit så att en frustrerad Dixon gjorde ett frustrerat Luleå? Negativ energi å sådär? Inte med flit såklart men...kanske? — Bohman (@Bohman_R) 2. Prosinec 2014
	31:15	Teams are playing on full strength.
		Luleå moved puck very well on power play. There wasn't so much dangerous shoots towards the net, tough.
	34:35	Goal for Luleå ! Sipiläinen loses the puck after defensive blue line. EMIL SYLVEGÅRD shoots the puck in fourth time and now it's looking bad for Lukko. Unassisted. 1-4
	35:57	Penalty for Luleå Per Ledin is punished one. Two minutes, slashing.
	37:42	Penalty for Lukko Rauma Teemu Nurmi gets two minutes for hooking.
	37:58	Goal for Rauma! Lukko scores on the same second when Luleå penalty ends! Olli Sipiläinen passes and FILIP RISKA has easy job to end that one to goal. Assisted by: Olli Sipilaine, Ikea Mikkola. 2-4
	39:42	Teams are playing on full strength.
	40:00	2nd period finished.

		Lukko's goal on short handed made this game little bit exciting. Now you have no clue, how this is going to end!

No team has dominated Europe the last three years like Luleå. Såg Olimbs mål nu på repris i CHL vilket snyggt mål. Så går det när han vågar skjuta mera och inte bara passar. #fhc #vigerossalrig #CHL — Peter Wendel (@Wendelgolf) December 2, 2014
	49:58	Luleå is freezing the game on the center ice. Lukko doesn't get on offensive end with control and it's hard to make goals if that's so.
	57:40	Nice hit by Filip Riska! Dean Kukan is the target there.
	60:00	Game over.
		Well, that was quite of performance by Luleå. Very impressive. Now they have 5-2 lead and Lukko needs amazing game to advance.
Final result: @TeamRaumanLukko – @LuleaHockey 2–5. Huge victory for the visiting team! #CHL pic.twitter.com/pFR1rFPa0M — Champs Hockey League (@championshockey) December 2, 2014
		Lennart Petrell (Luleå): "We played very tough game defensively. Lukko got couple of scoring chances on the first period, but we had game on control. Of course, first period could have ended for either team. It was important that we got success and some self-confidence. We have struggled with scoring and today it worked."
		Thank you for following! (21:44:13)
