There is a final game in group F : on Sunday Litvinov plays Espoo Blues on home ice. Litvinov will finish 1st in the group, Espoo 2nd and Grenoble 3rd.
|
||
Espoo MVP : Otso Rantakari, Grenoble MVP : Ervins Muštukovs
|
||
However the Blues will advance to the next round because they have edge against Grenoble on both games, having won 4-2 the first game in Espoo.
|
||
Espoo took too many penalties and wasn't good enough offensively to beat Muštukovs more than once tonight.
|
||
|
||
That wasn't enough but this first CHL win is already a great accomplisment for the home team.
|
||
Grenoble played very well defensively tonight, putting a lot of energy in the game during the 60 minutes.... Grenoble tried everything to get at least a 2 goal win at the end of the game.
|
||
Grenoble wins first CHL game !
|
||
Game over.
