Ice Hockey 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread

yesterday's mayhem part 1 might not have been up to the expectations (except for the KHL game #5), but last night...oh, boy!

 

 

 

The Adler Mannheim and the Eisbären Berlin played a wonderful match, one of the best of the whole European post-season so far and the home team won by a score of 4-3 and tied the series at 2-2.

 

The decisive game #5 is scheduled for tomorrow in Berlin (puck drop @ 7.30 p.m. local/CET).

 

Game #4 highlights

in the semifinals of the SHL, instead, Färjestad BK and Rögle BK went to double OT  

 

Färjestad did dominate the action, but Rögle did find themselves 4-3 ahead with less than 3 mins to play after an amazing 1-2 punch in a few seconds.

 

The home team, however, was able to dig deep into their physical and mental reserves and like a phoenix, they resurrected from their own ashes and a very short while after going down, they found the way to score the game-tying goal (also thanks to a capital mistake by the Rögle defence).

 

In the OTs, both teams tried to play defensive hockey as much as they could, but an individual effort by Linus Johansson at 10.56 of the second OT gave the home team a 5-4 win, which gives them also the win in the whole series by a score of 4 games to 2.

 

Therefore, the SHL Finals will be played by Luleå HF and Färjestad BK.

 

Luleå have the home ice advantage by virtue of the better placing in the regular season.

 

The first game of the Finals is scheduled for Saturday, April 30th @ 15.15 p.m. local/CET.

quick news from last night...

 

 

 

HK Nitra equalled the Extraliga final series at 2 apiece against slovan Bratislava with a clear 4-1 win.

 

They took the lead early in the game and they never looked back.

 

Not the most exciting match of the post-season, for sure...

 

Game #5 is scheduled for Friday (April 29th) in Bratislava (puck drop @ 6.30 p.m. local/CET)

 

 

 

some kind of deja-vù in the 5th game of the Swiss NLA Finals...

 

Denis Malgin gave Zürich the lead in the 31st minute and then EV Zug came back (5th time in 5 matches that the team scoring first goes on losing the game at the end) thanks to the monster-effort by Dario Simion, who scored a hat-trick and basically decided the final outcome of yesterday's match.

 

The final score is 4-1 in favor of EV Zug, meanwhile ZSC Lions still lead the series 3-2 and tomorrow they have another chance to clinch the title at home in game #6 (puck drop @ 8 p.m. local/CET).

 

 

p.s and God save me from today's busy day (    all in action in possibly decisive games)...

best moment of the whole game, I'd say...

 

it reminded me some good old style hockey, when getting close to the cage was really a painful and risky move by every player 'cause the goalies were basically free to hit them hard without the refs saying absolutely nothing...

[phelps 8,406]

by the way, Slaf's season in Finland is over...

 

 

Tappara Tampere in fact won game #5 of the Liiga Finals by a score of 1-0 against TPS Turku (game winner scored after only 35 seconds of play in the opening period ) and won the 2021/2022 title.

 

The score of the final series is 4-1.

 

More infos and a full season's recap tomorrow...

 

 

 

on the Russian side, instead, CSKA Moscow scored twice early in the first period and the lone goal by Metallurg in the second stint wasn't enough to catch them.

 

Therefore the Gagarin Cup will go to an always amazing game #7 (Saturday in Magnitogorsk, puck drop @ 5 p.m. local, 2 p.m. CET)
