Lev Praha
Wednesday 30.04.2014, 15:00 • Arena Metallurg, Magnitogorsk. • KHL
     
    And after accepting the MVP trophy, Metallurg captain Sergei Mozyakin now accepts the Gagarin Cup on behalf of his team, and he's mobbed by his teammates again. They start the laps around the ice, and it will be passed to every player on the team, just like the Stanley Cup tradition. (17:30:50)
     
    Sergei Mozyakin has been named the playoff MVP, which should come as no surprise to anyone.
     
    The players are now shaking hands, with the Lev team obviously dejected.
     
    Metallurg Magnitogorsk are the Gagarin Cup Champions, and they pour off the bench and mob Vitaly Koshechkin, who was the reason they won this game.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:51
    Goal for Metallurg!
    They come into the Lev zone with an empty net, Pare from the boards to MIKHAIL YUNKOV for the easy goal.
    Assist: Francis Pare.
     
    58:57
    Oystrick the slapper, just wide.
     
    58:50
    The Lev net is empty for a 6th attacker.
     
    58:19
    Goal for Lev!
    Novotny finds JUSTIN AZEVEDO at the point, and he one-times it from the high slot beating Koshechin high to extend his goal-scoring streak to 8 games. Well maybe it's not over yet, but they still need 2 more.
    Assist: Jiri Novotny.
     
    57:22
    Wrister from Brent, butterfly save Engren.

    Metallurg 2-on-1, Francis Pare one-times the pass wide.
     
    54:38
    Offside Lev.
     
    53:58
    Goal for Lev!
    Well, they got on e back. Nemec carried the puck into the zone and took a long shot. Koshechkin stopped it, but the rebound got away from him and MARTIN THORNBERG fired it in. They're still down 3 goals with 6 minutes to go, though.
    Assist: Ondrej Nemec.
     
    52:35
    Martin Sevc has been assessed a 10-minute misconduct, presumably for yapping at the officials. Pure frustration on the part of Lev at this point.
     
    52:35
    Goal for Metallurg!
    A turnover inside the Lev line, DANIS ZARIPOV takes the pass from Kovar and walks right in on Engren, beating him high glove side. That should do it.
    Assist: Jan Kovar.
     
    52:07
    Zackrisson a wrister from the point, turned to the corner by Koshechin.
     
    51:04
    Another Lev rush and another save by Koshechin, this time off Novotny, and he covers.
     
    50:38
    Topi Jaakola gets the puck in the Metallurg zone and cuts right in on goal, but the puck rolls off his stick as he tries to shoot.
