Begin of 2 period
And now the frame is changed again, same frame comes to the rink what we had in first period. Something is broken with that frame but for some reason it is the one that needs to be on the ice.
And now referee is discussing with the arena crew. I wonder if they want that camera in to the net or is the bottle holder there should be. Or what...
The goal frame at the other end of rink has been changed. There is no camera inside the net at the moment. Something weird with that frame.

End of 1 period
One minute remaining of the first period.
Quite nice steal by Moses for that goal. Afterwords it was easy for Manninen to score.
In Finnish we could say the goal is hanging in the air. Don´t know what´s the expression in English. But Jokerit is putting so much good pressure to Torpedo and it is just weird they haven´t scored yet.
Nice shot by Lepistö, nicer save by Brust.
Torpedo has been in the machine almost two minutes. Jokerit is making Brust a good goalie tonight. Lots of good scoring opportunities, but no goal so far.
Joensuu all alone at Brust´s net, Brust is quicker this time.
Bodie from the line. Zapolski catches the puck.
Teams are playing at full strength.
Something wrong with the net frame at Torpedo end... Arena crew on the ice... Can´t understand from up here what is wrong.
Penalty. Torpedo. 88. Zhafyarov Damir 2 min. Slashing
O´Neill tries to direct from the air. Hits the puck but it goes way high and to the fishnets.

Goalkeeper:

Vallu Lukka performed the Finnish national anthem. And sang it wrong, forgot to repeat chorus what is supposed to be sang twice. Strong performance.
