phelps 6,872 Posted April 24, 2022 #72 Share Posted April 24, 2022 also about last night... dramatic finish for game #2 of the Slovak Extraliga Finals, where Slovan Bratislava did find an improbable equalizer with only 13 seconds still to be played, but HK Nitra finally recovered from that shock and scored the game winner about halfway through the first OT... now the series is tied 1-1... very tough and exciting game #4 in the Czech Extraliga Finals... in the end, Sparta Prague, pushed by their 17,220 fans (Extraliga playoffs all time record), won 5-2 and equalled the series at 2 apiece... so far, it's one of the most entertaining playoff series around Europe in this season... third straight win for ZSC Lions Zurich against EV Zug in the Swiss NLA Finals... once again they stole a 2-1 win coming from behind in the 3rd period for the 3rd straight match and therefore they now lead 3-0 in the series... on Monday night they could clinch the Title with another win on their home ice...

phelps 6,872 Posted April 26, 2022 #77 Share Posted April 26, 2022 last game from yesterday night... in game #4 of the NLA Finals, once again scoring first proved useless... this time it was Zürich taking the advantage in the first period of the game, but then EV Zug finally did find some pride and came back strong... they scored 4 unanswered goals (a remarkable empty netter from behind their own goal line included towards the end of the match) and with a clear 4-1 win in game #4 they gave themselves a chance to play at least another match at home (wednesday night, puck drop @ 8 p.m. local/CET)... now the ZSC Lions still lead the series 3-1 and could clinch the title with 1 more win... p.s. today it's pure mayhem... in order of play: KHL, Finals, game #5: Metallurg Magnitogorsk vs CSKA Moscow (MMG lead series 3-1, puck drop at 4 p.m. CET) Czech Extraliga, Finals, game #5: HC Oceláři Třinec vs Sparta Prague (series tied 2-2, puck drop @ 5 p.m. CET) Liiga, Finals, game #4: TPS Turku vs Tappara Tampere (Tappara lead series 3-0, puck drop @ 5.30 p.m. CET) Slovak Extraliga, Finals, game #3: HK Nitra vs Slovan Bratislava (series tied 1-1, puck drop @ 6.00 p.m. CET) SHL, semifinals, game #6: Färjestad BK vs Rögle BK (FBK lead series 3-2, puck drop @ 7.30 p.m. CET) DEL, semifinals, game 4 (best-of-5 series): Adler Mannheim vs Eisbären Berlin (Berlin lead series 2-1, puck drop @ 7.30 p.m. CET) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,872 Posted April 26, 2022 #78 Share Posted April 26, 2022 mayhem, part #1 is over... and tbh, I expected a bit more from that... first of all, no titles were clinched today, despite the chance to have 2...which means that we're gonna have a lot of hockey left in the next couple of days... Klas Dahlbeck's goal in the first OT decided game #5 of the Gagarin Cup Finals, keeping CSKA Moscow alive after winning today's match 3-2 on the road. Now Metallurg lead 3-2 in the series, but the next game is scheduled in Moscow on Thursday (puck drop @ 7 p.m. local time, 6 p.m. CET). game #5 highlights TPS Turku just saved themselves from a bitter sweep thanks to a pretty boring 1-0 win on home ice in game #4 of the Liiga final series. Now Tappara lead the contest by 3 games to 1 and could clinch the title at home on Thursday (puck drop @ 6.30 p.m. local time, 5.30 p.m. CET) HC Oceláři Třinec won big on home soil against Sparta Prague in game #5 of the Extraliga Finals. 7-3 the final score of today's match, thanks mainly to a very strong effort in the middle period. Now they lead the series 3-2, with game #6 scheduled in Prague next Thursday (puck drop @ 7 p.m. local/CET) also in the Slovak Extraliga tonight we didn't have a close and exciting games, as Slovan Bratislava dominated the match against Nitra by a score of 6-2. Now they lead the series 2 games to 1. The 4th chapter of the Slovak Finals is scheduled for tomorrow (puck drop @ 6 p.m. local/CET) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,872 Posted April 27, 2022 #79 Share Posted April 27, 2022 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 https://www.penny-del.org/event/adler-mannheim-eisbaeren-berlin/9328 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. yesterday's game highlights https://www.shl.se/play/video/167632?provider=staylive&autoplay=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,872 Posted April 28, 2022 #80 Share Posted April 28, 2022 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)... hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
