Defending champions @LuleaHockey hammered @Tapparaofficial 5–0 (6–2 agg.) to advance to the #CHL quarterfinals! pic.twitter.com/8laQreIrme — Champs Hockey League (@championshockey) November 10, 2015
		Lulea beats Tappara on home ice with 5-0 after thee goals in the last period. Aggregation 6-2. A well deserved victory for Lulea that were the better team over 60 minutes, no questions asked. Now the quarterfinals await for the current CHL-champions, for Tappara it's all about SM-Liiga. Shots 33-13 in favor of Lulea. (21:14:29)
		Game over.
	57:30	The only question left is if Larsson and Lulea will keep their crease clean for the night. 5-0 in the game so far.
	56:00	So four goals in four minutes is what Tappara needs right now.
	55:38	Goal for Luleå! Rajala spins around, passes PETER CEHLARIK who gets the puck past Karhunen after the puck hits the skate. The referees made a call for the goal, but nothing bad about it. Assisted by Toni Rajala.
This is getting hard. Vaikeeks menee... #Tappara #CHLfi — Antti Kalervo Kangas (@TapparaMies) 10. Listopad 2015
	54:40	Micfliker gets a clean one on one with Karhunen and forces him down. Tappara now needs to score three goals in five minutes.
	54:12	Goal for Luleå! JACOB MICFLIKIER makes it 4-0! Assisted by Toni Rajala.
	53:48	Alexander Bonsaksen, Tappara, two minutes interference.
	53:44	Only six minutes left, Tappara needs to press the attack.
Luleå gets scoring chances way more easily than Tappara. And utilizes them. Luulaja saa huomattavasti vaivattomammin tekopaikkoja kuin #Tappara... ja jopa tekee niistä. #CHLfi — Jere Kivelä (@JereKivela) 10. Listopad 2015
	51:11	My feeling is that Hedmans goal was it, if Tappara turns this around I'm impressed.
	50:04	Goal for Luleå! Scorer is JACOB MICFLIKIER. Hedman takes the puck far in the offensive zone right after a face-off and shots, the puck deflects of Micflikers body and finds the neat. Assisted by Anton Hedman.
	49:50	Harju and Rajala creates the periods best chance as Lulea almost ruins the night for Tappara, but no goal.
	49:20	Lajunen is controlling the puck very well, but Tappara needs to pick their game up a few notches if they want to beat Larsson.
	47:30	Tappara is drawing closer. Lulea is collapsing toward the crease.
	46:20	3829 people in the crowd, pretty descent.
	45:30	Tappara managed to keep the puck out of the net, but they still need to score to force the game into overtime.
	43:40	Lulea have had a few good chances in powerplay. If they score now, I'm having a hard time seeing Tappara turning this around
	42:43	Otto Rauhala, Tappara Tempere, two minutes, tripping.
	42:30	Tappara keeps on creating as former Lulea-player Dixon almost scores.
	41:30	Tappara is creating some offense early on. This might get interesting.
	40:50	The crowd wants a penalty, but nothing happens as Harju gets slashed.
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		The third period is about to start in just a few moments.
2nd intermission: @LuleaHockey – @Tapparaofficial 2–0 (3–2 on aggregate) #CHL — Champs Hockey League (@championshockey) November 10, 2015
		Much better period from Tappara. Still no goals though. Lulea will need to step their game up if they want to win this on regular time. The shots are 21-9 in favor of Lulea.
Today's game has been hard. Harder than any in a long time. This isn't working... Tänään on ollu vaikee peli. Vaikeempi, kun pitkään aikaan. Ei onnistu... #CHLfi #Tappara #LuleaaHockey — Jani Terho (@TampereenTerho) 10. Listopad 2015
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	37:40	With a bit of luck Lulea is still in the lead after that powerplay. Tappara is getting closer, but still not quite there.
	36:40	Laine hits the post, looking much better gith now with 45 seconds to go on the powerplay.
	36:10	Seems like the big rink is creating some trouble once again for Tappara. Better powerplay than last though.
	35:22	Brendan Mikkelson, Lulea, two minutes, puck out.
Anemic, so anemic. Come on Tappara! Aneemista niin aneemista..Gama Tappara! #Tappara #CHLfi — JosefiinaMyllykoski (@josefiinamy) 10. Listopad 2015
	31:15	Lulea manages to handle the boxplay.
	31:00	But Lulea is playing a really good boxplay as well, they're working really hard and pressuring Tappara high in the zone.
	30:30	Tappara can hardly keep the puck in the zone, terrible powerplay so far.
	30:00	And once again. Tappara is playing so slow, making it easy for Lulea.
	29:30	Lulea manages to clear.
	29:17	Laine hits the ice and Ilari Melart joins Craig Schira on the bench. Five versus three for a few seconds.
	29:00	Tappara is holding the puck way to long, giving Lulea the chance to interfere. Tappara needs to pick the pace up if they want to score.
	27:45	Craig Schira, Lulea Hockey, will be spending the next two minutes on the sin bin.
	26:30	Lulea is pretty much allowing Tappara into the zone. Lulea is giving pretty much away right now, if this keeps up Tappara should be able to score.
	26:00	Tappara is creating some offense. Will they be able to capitalize? Larsson must be pretty cold in the crease..
	24:55	From my point of view that could very well have been a penalty, Tappara is lucky. The question here is what condition Forsberg is in.
	24:30	Luleas Forsberg gets a elbow to the head and seems pretty shaken right now. No penalty for Tappara though.
	24:30	Tappara managed the boxplay, time to se if they can do something offensive.
	23:15	Tappara is playing better in the first few minutes, but first they have to ride this boxplay out. Doing good so far with one minute left of the boxplay.
	22:09	Jukka Peltola, Tapara Tampere, will go out 2:00 minutes for hooking.
	21:34	Another puck hits the bar, this time from Jan Sandstrom, Lulea.
Tappara is totally screwed against Luleå at the moment. Coming out of under-pressure-situations is a thing that Tappara needs to do better. #Tappara aivan lirissä avauserän vs Luulaja. Paineen purkaminen on sellainen osa-alue, joka Tapparan on pakko oppia paremmin. #liiga #CHLfi — Ilkka Palomäki (@IlkkaPalomaki) 10. Listopad 2015
		The second period is live. Right not Lulea is eliminating Tappara and advancing to the quarterfinals. Total aggregate 3-2 in favor of Lulea.
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
1st intermission: @LuleaHockey – @Tapparaofficial 2–0 (3–2 on aggregate) #CHL — Champs Hockey League (@championshockey) November 10, 2015
		A period totally in favor of Lulea leading the game with 2-0 and the series versus Tappara with 3-2. Shots 18-5 in favor of Lulea.
Tappara really needs to wake up if they want to advance to the top-8. Kyl olis tamperelaisten aika herätä jos mielivät kaheksan parhaan joukkoon! #Tappara #CHLfi — Sanna Ahlgren (@Sanzeah) 10. Listopad 2015
	20:00	1st period finished.
	19:30	Rajala plays football and passes Sylvegard with the foot creating a good offensive chance.
	18:00	As of right now Lulea is eliminating Tappara and advancing in the tournament.
What about Luleå's goal? Can't the player be any more clearly in the goalkeeper's area? Mites toi @LuleaHockey maali? Voiko olla selkeämmin maalivahdin alueella? #CHLfi #tappara @Tapparaofficial — Jukka Sipilä (@lancesipila) 10. Listopad 2015
	15:30	Goal for Luleå! Scorer is EMIL SYLVEGARD. Tappara keeps on having trouble in their own end, giving away a lot of pucks. Assisted by Johan Harju and Toni Rajala. Total aggregate is 3-2 to Luleå.
	14:30	Lulea keeps on creating offensive chances. Tappara is having a real hard time on the big and open ice in Sweden.
	14:00	Goal for Luleå! Scorer is KARL FABRICIUS. Fabricius gets a couple of chances with the net wide open, took him 2-3 chances before the puck finds it way. Assisted by Ilari Melart and Johan Forsberg. Total aggregate is 2-2.
	13:30	It was Rajala that came free with Karhunen earlier, but no luck that time either.
	13:30	The puck is free right in front of the net, but Lulea is lacking the ability to capitalize right now.
	13:20	Great chance when Lulea gets a one on one with the goale but hits the goalpost.
Tappara is really struggling but the game is still 0-0. Tappara on ihan sillassa, silti tasan nolla. #Tappara #CHLfi — Ari Seppälä (@rseppl18) 10. Listopad 2015
	13:00	Tappara is having a real hard time. The shots 14 versus 4 in favor of Lulea right now.
	12:30	Lulea is playing creative as Forsberg drops the puck right inf ront of the neat, still no goal though.
	12:00	Harju gets a pretty good chance right in front of Karhunen, still no goals though.
	11:30	Solid start on the powerplay for Lulea. The pucks keep coming from the blueline.
	11:00	Jere Karjalanien, two minutes. Powerplay Lulea.
	06:30	Schira keeps on creating, this time Micfliker got a good chance right in front of Karhunen after a pass from Schira.

	05:30	Tapparas defenders have a hard time clearing the slot, almost giving Lulea a good opportunity
	05:00	Lulea keeps on shooting from the offensive blue-line, no luck so far but they're creating some pressure.
	04:00	Schira that's have had a rough start in this season is looking really good this far.
	03:30	First real good offensive chance from Schira and Rajala.
	03:00	Lulea is starting pretty good with a shoot on goal from D-man Schira
	01:24	Larsson covers the puck, face off in their own end.
	00:30	And the game is on.
	00:01	Game started.
		The game about to begin in a few seconds. Can Tappara eliminate reigning champion Lulea or will Lulea recover and advance, much like last year.
		Starting lineups: Luleå Hockey: Larsson (Gustavsson) – Schira, Mikkelson, Sandstrom, Sigalet, Oskarsson, Melart, Sjalin – Rajala, Sylvegard, Harju – Micflikier, Wallmark, Hedman – Chelarik, Granstrom, Petrell – Forsberg, Ekarv, Mastomaki, Fabricius Tappara Tampere: Karhunen (Hrachovina) – Saravo, Aalto, Plastino, Bonsaksen, Kankaanpera, Elorinne, Makinen – Lajunen, Haapala, Kuusela – Savinainen, Karjalanien, Laine – Dixon, Jarvinen, Peltola – HOnkanen, Kaksonen, Rauhala, Heikkila Referees: Rohatsch, Brueggemann (both GER) – Sandström, Yletyinen (both SWE).
		Defending champions Lulea know that they must win tonight's game to avoid going out on the CHL at the round of sixteen stage. Visitors Tappara only need to avoid defeat, but according to Jani Lajunen they're not thinking like that. "It doesn’t really matter if we won the first game with only one goal. We are not coming to Luleå to aim for a tie or a narrow loss, we are aiming to win this game too. It’s not going to be easy, that much we learned from the first game, but it’s not impossible either” said the game-winning goal scorer from the first leg.
		Welcome. Game starts at 19:00.
