    There is the final buzzer, and HC Sibir Novosibirsk have thumped Barys Astana 4:0 in Siberia! They were a level above their opponents today, and fully deserve their win. Dmitriy Monya, Sergey Shumakov and Alexey Kopeikin with a double struck for the victors, with goaltender Alexander Salak grabbing a shutout for himself. Thanks for following the game with us, and join me again soon for Lokomotiv Yaroslavl against Dynamo Moscow in the KHL! (16:43:49)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:51
    The final seconds are now here, with Sibir cruising to a hard earned 4:0 victory on home ice!
     
    59:33
    Before we are out one last penalty is called against the forlorn Kazakh visitors, as Nikolay Antropov has been found guilty of holding his opponent
     
    59:00
    Pavel Poluektov, who hasn't been bad at all for Barys, clings on to a dangerous Maxim Shalunov wrist shot as it was a two on one Sibir counterattack
     
    58:14
    Artyom Voroshilo steams on the right wing, backhands it across, and no one is fast enough to catch up with his dish!
     
    57:34
    Alexander Salak grabs a comfortable wrister by his blocker to keep his net clean. Sibir have shown their class today, against a very bad tempered, and toothless, Barys side!
     
    56:47
    Goal for Sibir!
    With a man's advantage Sibir grab their fourth! From exactly the same position on the left ALEXEY KOPEIKIN nets his brace! Powerplay goal and it's 4:0! Assists- Dmitriy Monya and Jarno Koskiranta
     
    56:14
    Wow, what a fight we have just had! Barys head coach Andrey Nazarov was seen telling his young forward Damir Ryspaev to go and fight, and he did just that by taking on Vitaliy Menshikov! And for that Damir Ryspaev has been hit with a 5+20 penalty!
     
    55:57
    Goal for Sibir!
    That will surely be that now! A juicy rebound falls at the feet of ALEXEY KOPEIKIN to the left of the crease, and he hits the jackpot! Powerplay goal and it's 3:0! Assists- Patrik Hersley and Konstantin Alekseev
     
    55:41
    Barys are losing their heads now! Nigel Dawes snaps his stick against a Sibir defenceman's leg, and for that he has received a 2+10 penalty ending his game! Konstantin Rudenko will sit this one out for his team
     
    55:33
    Sannikov! On a lightning quick breakaway Stepan Sannikov does a full 360 around his opponent, and is denied by a wonderful reaction save from Pavel Poluektov!
     
    55:11
    Alexander Salak loses his stick, a deflected slap shot clatters in, and he still gets his pads on it to keep it out!
     
    55:01
    All the play is being dictated by Barys now as only five minutes remain, they have to keep trying to get something beyond the perfect Alexander Salak!
     
    51:39
    Battling forward Stepan Sannikov bullies his way on to the danger zone form the right wing, squares it, and Barys defencemen hack it clear under pressure
     
    50:17
    After Mike Lundin's slap shot is stoned plenty of bodies fall on top of each other of the crease, and the referees do a good job of splitting everyone up before tempers can raise!
     
    50:09
    Oskars Bartulis draws his stick back, and finds the goalkeeper's awaiting chest. You can't criticize Barys for a lack of effort, however time is rather against them now
     
    48:39
    Shumakov! That was the chance to practically finish this game off! Sergey Shumakov takes up the loose puck on the doorstep, but he contrives to slap well wide! He had the whole target to aim it!
     
    47:37
    Kevin Dallman tees Dmitriy Upper on the left faceoff circle, however the latter's effort doesn't have enough power behind it to trouble Alexander Salak
     
    45:47
    Fourth liner Igor Fefelov jinks his way inside his marker glove side, shoots with strength, and Pavel Poluektov is on his game to gather. Remember that he is yet to concede after replacing Jan Laco in the first period!
