Metallurg Magnitogorsk
Tuesday 22.04.2014, 19:00 • O2 Arena, Prague • KHL
     
    O2 Arena and this KHL-record crowd are absolutely rocking.

    So Lev now leads the series 2-1, with game 4 on Thursday. We'll see what an emotional lift this is for them, and if it's any kind of let down for Magnitogorsk. (21:26:05)
     
    I don't know what to say right now. The last 10 minutes of that game were absolutely unbelievable, and that game-winning goal by Justin Azevedo defies explanation. You'll see it on highlight reels for sure, though, so don't miss it.

    Game over.
     
    59:36
    Goal for Lev!
    Are you kidding me?? A turnover at the Lev blueline, Mikko Maenpaa carries the puck through the neutral zone, then feeds JUSTIN AZEVEDO streaking to the net. As he's tripped from behind, he goes upstairs with it under the crossbar and flies through the air like Bobby Orr! I can't believe what I just saw.
    Assist: Mikko Maenpaa.
     
    58:42
    Goal for Metallurg!
    Pare and Mozyakin pass back and forth at the point, and Mozyakin shoots. Vehanen makes the pad save but FRANCIS PARE is there to put in the rebound. Wow. I'm not sure what they were reviewing, but we've got a tied game.
    Assists: Sergei Mozyakin, Chris Lee.
     
    58:42
    Metallurg puts the puck in the net, Francis Pare it appears, but they're reviewing it upstairs. For what, exactly, I'm not sure.
     
    58:25
    Now Martin Thornberg is down face-first in the neutral zone. Play is stopped. I didn't see what happened to him, but it doesn't seme like there's any penalty. Faceoff just outide the Lev zone. Metallurg net remains empty.
     
    58:15
    Koshechkin goes to the bench for an extra attacker.

    Time out Metallurg. They see this as their big chance.
     
    51:45
    Now Martin Sevc is called for hooking trying to contain Mozyakin along the boards. He's furious with the call and the whistling from the crowd is deafening. After giving up a power-play goal, Metallurg now with a huge chance to tie this game on the power play.
     
    50:59
