"I think it was a really good game, maybe the funniest to play in the CHL so far. We fought hard and well but not well enough and too bad we lost this game, but it's at least three periods left of this series and I look forward to the second game."

My name is Julia Bjers and I will provide you with the live commentary this evening.
The warm up is on and the game starts in about 35 minutes.
Skellefteå too did win their CHL groups with 15 points and only one loss, they have even better record in the Swedish SHL, where they lead the league table at the moment.
In the last round, Skellefteå played two tough games against JYP which resulted into the penalty shots after the second game, where Mikko Lehkonen decided that Skellefteå advanced to the quarter-finals.
The CRAMO Top Scorer of the team is Pär Lindholm with 10 points (1+9). 23 years old Lindholm added another 15 points in 26 SHL games so far and is a vital part of the team.
Linköping have a pretty decent season so far – not only did they win their CHL group and advanced to the quarter-finals after beating Czech powerhouse Sparta Prague, they also find themselves in the fourth position in the Swedish SHL after 26 rounds.
In the previous round, Linköping HC eliminated Sparta Prague after two even games. Swedish club won 2–1 on the road and drew the home game 2–2.
Jeff Taffe is the CRAMO Top Scorer of the team with 10 points (4+6) and will be probably the biggest threat to their opponents. Taffe already scored 28 points in the 25 SHL games he played this season, which only underlines his good performances in the CHL.
