Goal: Jokerit. 44. Jensen Jesper B. assists: 51. Kozun Brandon, 47. Lajunen Ville
Even strength.
Jokerit scores, don't know yet who did it...
Two minutes remainging of the third period.
I was just about to write that Jokerit had the puck going merrily around but since there were no shots, they can't score. Then Jaakola shoots from the line and Kapanen directs the puck past Brust.
Penalty. Slovan. 25. Viedensky Marek 2 min. Hooking
Surovy shoots, Karlsson saves that one easily.
Jokerit started to play again. Rita did some deke's, Brust holds up so far.
Kapanen had a good chance, Brust saves.
Now Slovan is back to this game, we'll see what happends now.
And there it is, Kaspar scores for 2-1 on pp.
Power play for Slovan. Jokerit's game has looked so bad for last moments that Slovan might score on this pp.
Penalty. Jokerit. 6. Jaakola Topi 2 min. Kneeing
Huhtala directs Ohtamaa's shot, wide by inches.
Huhtala is on the ice so his injury wasn't that bad.
Novak throws the puck to the net from the line, Karlsson closes it.
Kozun shoots wide.
Huhtala came to the bench so slowly that he must have hurt himself.
Kaspar alone with Karlsson. Henrik hold's Jokerit on the lead at the moment.
Begin of 3 period
Third period is about to start. Let's hope it will be better hockey than it was on second.
Saves on second: Brust 4, Karlsson 11.

End of 2 period
One minute remaining of the second.
Jensen gave a terrible pass, lucky for him Karlsson was up and awake.
Lots of hassle etc. on the ice. Not very entertaining hockey on this period. So far.
It looks like Jokerit players aren't intrested of playing at all and they are letting Slovan come to the game.
Miklik shoots from tight corner, Karlsson catches easily.
Teams are at full strength.
Penalty. Jokerit. 41. Olimb Mathis 2 min. Tripping
Regin was all alone at the net with Brust, somehow he froze and couldn't lift the puck into the net.
Larsen got hit to his head at the collision with Slovan player. There was no mistake and no penalty, just bad luck.
Larsen seems to be hurt, couldn't get up from the ice while the game was on.
First period was Jokerit's, Slovan didn't have too many controlled attacks to Jokerit zone. Let's see how this second period.
Begin of 2 period
Somehow Huhtala got an assist for the 2nd goal eventhoug he didn't touch the puck. Olimb got pass straight to himself from Slovan's Barker.

Not very good power play by Jokerit. Teams at full strength.

Goooooooooooaaaaaaaalll. Olimb after terrible pass from Slovan defender.
Rita had almost empty net, but somehow Brust ended to block that shot.
Aaltonen had an open spot, shoots high.
Jormakka gets a good shot, Brust save with some difficulties.
Kozun was at least another assistant for the goal. We are waiting for official information to get him a point.
Lajunen scores after few missed scoring spots.
Lots of speed on the game at the moment. Jokerit pushes the game to Slovan end, not really good scoring spots yet though.
Aaltonen's shot was easy for Brust.
Got a laugh when I noticed Slovan's goalie has brown pads and gloves. Used to have those with same color when I played as GK - 30 years ago... On these days those are usually some other color.
