		Game over.
	57:29	Penalty for Eisbären Berlin (Neuparth – 2 min., tripping).
	57:20	Goal for Eisbären Berlin! A pretty three-way passing play finished off by OLIVER NOACK yields a 3rd Berlin goal. They have this third period to feel good about, at least.
	51:51	Goal for Eisbären Berlin! They finally cash in on the power play and it's KEVIN KUNZ who banks it off the right post and in. They still have another 1:11 on the major penalty.

	49:23	Puck out of play in the Zurich zone, faceoff inside with 3:39 left in the major penalty.
	48:02	Yannick Brunschweiller has been ejected from the game. I didn't see what he did but the referee ordered him out of the rink immediately after the whistle and didn't signal any infraction. 5:00 is on the clock for a long Berlin power play.

	38:40	Shorthanded 2 on 1 for Berlin, once again it's Nino Kinder trying to score but Nils Johnson makes another nice save, and Kinder looks skyward in frustration.

	26:46	Offside Zurich.
	26:16	Timeout Berlin.
