	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		The teams are returning to the ice, and the 3rd period will begin shortly.
		As opposed to the first period, which started wild but quickly calmed down, this second period was played at a frantic pace almost from beginning to end.

We'll see what happens in the 3rd period of this championship game, with Zurich leading 4-3 after 2. 3rd period starts at 14:36 CET.
