is the obvious favorite, the other two groups finals are rather more open. vs and especially the - derby can be anyone´s, and I would not be surprised to see them ending in Overtime or PSO

beat 4-3 and progress to Round 3. Was a real hard battled game, I watched the whole last period and despite the very low speed and a few really silly decisions by players here and there it was a fun match to watch

 

 

is already leading 3-0 after 1st frame. One sided game as expected
