    Lauri Marjamäki (Kärpät): "I am really dissapointed. We were the better team tonight and we came so close to the final. The athmosphere in the audience was incredible tonight."
     
    Frölunda will play the final, but yet it ain't determined whether they will play it on home ice or on the road.

    If Luleå beat Skellefteå in regulation (2-1 with about half the game to go right now), Luleå will play on home ice.

    If the game is tied and the game goes to overtime, Frölunda will be hosting the final whether Luleå or Skellefteå decides the game in OT/SO.

    If Skellefteå wins it in regulation, Frölunda hosts the Final.
     
    Impressive third period by Kärpät when they tied it up with two tight goals, but Frölunda could put themselves together and win it, and not surprisingly in power play.

    Pen.min: 14-16 (2-4, 6-6, 4-4, 2-2)
