Fribourg-Gottéron
Saturday 29.08.2015, 15:00 • Coop Norrbotten Arena • Champions League • 4 • Group 11
     
    And that's that. Fribourg-Gotteron cant advance, and Luleå as well as Lukko Rauma is going to advance, still not certain who wins the group though.

    The game started pretty nicely, even though it was pretty sloppy we had a couple of goals in the first period. As soon as Luleå did 4-2 the tempo went down and Luleå just controlled the match. Fribourg-Gotteron wasn't good enough, it's as simple as that. (17:27:05)
     
    Game over.
     
    58:10
    Benjamin Neukom, Gotteron, 2 minutes, slashing.
     
    57:13
    Andrea Glauser, Gotteron, 2 minutes, tripping.
     
    54:27
    Team penalty, Gotteron, to many players on the ice.
     
    54:20
    With about six minutes left Gotteron gets their first shot on goal.
     
    53:40
    Nothing at all happening right now. Still no shot on goal, even with the two minute powerplay.
     
    51:55
    Still not a single shot on goal in the third period for Gotteron.
     
    51:40
    Ilari Melart, Luleå, 2 minutes, cross-checking
     
    51:40
    Fight on the ice now. Ilari Melart and Alexandre Picard wrestle in front of Lory in Gotterons crease.
     
    49:44
    Sakari Salminen, Gotteron, 2 minutes, tripping.
     
    49:25
    Gotteron has no offensive ability at all right now. I'm having a hard time seeing them turning this around, Luleå is just too good.
     
    48:20
    Gotteron manages. Luleå is still in control though, I would want to see a more desperate Gotteron right now.
     
    46:15
    If Luleå scores now the game feels more or less over, as does the tournament for Gotteron.
     
    45:07
    Pierrick Pivron, Gotteron, 2 minutes, holding
     
    43:00
    A stalemate right now. Gotteron cant create anything offensive and Luleå seems pretty happy with the result.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    The third period about to begin.
     
    Luleå wins the second period with 1-0. Pretty dull period with not much going on. Gotteron needs to push for two goals, so perhaps the third period will be a little better with a higher tempo.

    "I dont think the guy tried to hit me like that, I just didnt see him" – Jacob Lagace

    Shots ended 16 for Luleå and 5 for Gotteron.
     
    40:00
    2nd period finished.
     
    36:20
    Pretty sloppy passing and low tempo. Not much to be excited about.
     
    34:59
    Right as the powerplay is over for Luleå things get interesting. Luleå almost scores, but still 4-2 with just over five minutes left of the second period.
     
    33:10
    Not much going on right now. Pretty slow game right now.
     
    31:31
    Jacob Micflikier, Luleå, 2, cross-checking.
     
    31:31
    Important part of the game now. If Luleå scores the next goal I'm having a hard time seeing Gotteron leaving Luleå with any points. About three and a half minute left of the powerplay.
     
    29:56
    Lagace is back in play.
     
    29:56
    John Fritsche, Gotteron, 5+20, game misconduct, checking from behind
     
    Lagace hurt after a pretty hard hit. Skates of the ice looking pretty shaken. Looks like a check from behind. John Fritsche is the one thats checks.
     
    29:30
    Again Gotteron. But Lassinantti keeps calm and is playing really god this game.
     
    28:10
    Out of nowhere in a pretty sleepy part of the second period Gotteron creates something, no goal though as Lassinantti denies Gotteron.
     
    26:41
    Gotteron seems very stressed in their own zone. They cant seem to control the puck when Luleå forechecks.
     
    25:15
    Nothing came from that powerplay. Luleå is controlling the second period pretty well though.
     
    23:45
    Good powerplay from Luleå. They control the puck very well.
     
    22:50
    Lagace almost scores right away in Luleås first powerplay of the game.
     
    22:13
    Michaël Ngoy, Gotteron, 2 minutes high sticking.
     
    22:02
    Looks like Benjamin Conz done his part in this game. In comes Reto Lory.
    Peter CEHLARIK - 4:2
     
    21:41
    Goal for Luleå!
    That's a puck that Benjamin Conz should have had. PETER CEHLARIK goes past his defenseman and scores. Assisted by: Anton Hedman.
     
    21:20
    It was Jacob Lagace that almost got the puck in during the first minute of the second period.
     
    20:40
    Luleå creates a good opportunity right of the start.
     
    20:10
    And we're back.
     
    20:01
    Start of 2nd period.
     
    Second period about to start any minute now.
     
    Pretty intense first period. Gotteron haven't had much play this period except from the three powerplays.
    Gotteron is probably pretty happy with the result so far. It's hard to evaluate the game so far, three penalties and a pretty sloppy start.

    The shots ended 10 for Gotteron and 5 for Luleå.
     
    20:00
    1st period finished.
    Ryan GARDNER - 3:2
     
    19:30
    Goal for Fribourg!
    The Canadian RYAN GARDNER scores with just 30 seconds left. Assisted by: Benjamin Neukom.
     
    19:05
    Luleås goalie seems to be a bit shaken after a hit to the head. Seems to be okay though.
     
    18:20
    Even though Luleå been playing shorthanded three times during the first period they've managed to score three goals this far. Impressive.
     
    17:40
    Whenever Luleå gets into offensive zone it smells trouble for Gotteron.
     
    15:30
    Without taking anything away from Jacob Micflikier, that was some pretty sloppy work by the defense.
     
    14:38
    Goal for Luleå!
    A shorthanded goal by JACOB MICFLIKIER. Going straight for the offensive when he gets the puck and goes straight to the net. Assisted by: Craig Schira.
     
    13:44
    40 seconds into the powerplay and Gotteron is creating quite a lot actually. Luleås having a hard time with all these penalties.
     
    13:04
    Craig Schira, Luleå, 2 minutes, hooking.
     
    11:35
    Goal for Fribourg!
    Luleås D-man, Craig Schira steers the puck into own net after a shot from MARC-ANTOINE POULIOT. Assisted by: Ryan Gardner.
     
    11:20
    Not much working for Gotteron right now. Less than 30 seconds left on the powerplay.
     
    09:45
    Johan Harju, Luleå, 2 minutes.
     
    09:35
    Nothing came from that powerplay except a couple of chances.
     
    09:00
    Gottern almost gave away a turnover when Micflikier almost got the chance.
     
    08:20
    Great pass from Marc-Antoine Pouliot, Gotteron. No goal though, denied by Lassinantti.
     
    08:00
    Let's see what Gotteron can do on the powerplay.
     
    07:22
    Ilari Melart, Luleå, 2 minutes tripping.
     
    06:23
    Both teams plays pretty sloppy in their own end right now. They both give the opponents chances.
     
    05:15
    A really tough start for Gottern. They need points in todays game if they want a chance to advance from the group stage.
     
    03:35
    Goal for Luleå!
    Again, pretty sloppy from Gotteron in their own zone. This goal came from a misstake. Scorer is JOHAN HARJU. Assisted by: Peter Cehlarik and Brendan Mikkelson.
    Jacob LAGACE - 1:0
     
    02:46
    Goal for Luleå!
    Sweatt goes right around the crease and passes to JACOB LAGACE, open goal for him Gottéron was way to slow on their feet. Assisted by: Bill Sweatt and Jacob Micflikier.
     
    02:30
    Sloppy passes from Luleå this far. They cant control the puck very well.
     
    01:00
    Gotteron creates the first offensive chance in the game.
     
    Early icing from Luleå at the start of the game.
     
    00:01
    Game started.
     
    The game is soon about to start. Luleås gotta be considerd the favourites here.
    Everything is ready in Lulea.

    In less than 24 hours the game between Luleå and Gottéron begins.Gottéron in desperate need of a win after the double loss versus Lukko, now traling with only one point. A win over Luleå would put them in a much better position as second in group K.

    Last game for Luleå was a week ago against Lukko, a game that Luleå won after shootouts, the big hero that time was Bill Sweatt.
