3:5 (1:1, 0:1, 1:2)
HC Sibir Novosibirsk
Thursday 01.11.2012, 19:00 • Tipsport Arena, Prague • KHL
     
    This was an even game until halfway through the 3rd period, when Artyom Voroshilov's penalty shot goal opened a quick 3-goal Sibir outburst that decided the game. A late Lev goal makes it a 5-3 final. (21:17:08)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:49
    Correction, there are penalties being called, Chara and Glass, but it hardly matters. 4 on 4 hockey to finish unless there's more.
     
    59:49
    Lev came close again, and then there's predictable rough stuff, which includes Glass taking a poke with his goal stick at someone. No penalties being called though.
     
    59:19
    Goal for Lev!
    In what's surely a case of too-little, too-late, JAKUB KLEPIS puts in a rebound to make the score a bit more respectable.
     
    58:25
    Sibir back at full strength, Stepanek still on the bench . . .
     
    57:57
    Glass covers a loose puck. :21 left in the penalty.
     
    57:47
    Offside Lev. :31 left in the power play.
     
    57:10
    Sibir doing a good job of preventing Lev from setting up . .
     
    56:18
    Jori Lehtera gets a penalty for cross-checking.

    Lev calls a timeout. If they entertain any hope of sending this game to overtime, they have to score quickly on this advantage. Stepanek is pulled for a 6 on 4 advantage.
     
    56:05
    Goal for Sibir!
    ALEXEI KOPEIKIN and Alexander Nikulin worked a pretty give-and-go that finished with Kopeikin deking Stepanek for the goal that likely puts this game away.
     
    54:50
    Erik Christensen, one-on-one, drills a slap shot wide . . .
     
    53:40
    Goal for Sibir!
    After colliding heavily with Martin Skoula in the end boards, JONAS ENLUND wrapped the puck around the post and in. Lev is very upset that there was no boarding call on the collision.
     
    52:51
    Power play finished, Zdeno Chara take an interference penalty in the neutral zone. Teams will play 4-on-4 for :54.
     
    51:45
    Konstantin Alexeyev takes an interference penalty in his own zone, giving Lev an important power play.
     
    51:12
    A Sibir shoot in comes off the boards to Stepanek, who covers it.
     
    50:37
    Goal for Sibir!
    On the penalty shot, ARTYOM VOROSHILO beats Stepanek with a wrist shot blocker high just inside the post.
     
    50:37
    Sibir's Artyom Voroshilo is hooked by Martin Skoula coming in on goal and is being awarded a penalty shot.
     
    49:55
    Ondrej Nemec steps across the blueline and fires a wrister that Glass catches and holds.
     
    49:20
    Jaroslav Svoboda centers for Petr Vrana, whose quick one-timer whistles just wide . . .
