Hockey Predators looking to strenghten their lead atop kdivari's table, Narrilauma meanwhile hoping to get at least something out of this game.

1st period

sessas apparently well-motivated for the game, he's everywhere on ice

01:31 1-0 Blindi - sessas finds free Riadinski, who shoots at the net, the puck rebounds awkwardly to Blindi who just puts it round a lying goalie.

-HaBa- with good movement but only coming close on a couple of occasions

05:06 2-0 dörre (sessas)
05:35 3-0 dörre - dörre comes with Blindi to a 2v1, and Blindi screens the goalie allowing an easy finish for dörre

NL saves: 5, poss: 52%
HP saves: 2, poss: 47%

A nightmare period for Predators, nuff said.

2nd period

Narrilauma enjoying their spell of dominance from the first period

01:55 3-1 minkki (Pitkänen, Kapadeus) - minkki is free out of nowhere after a quick combination against a fully-prepared defence.

Narrilauma still finding a lot of space for their attacks.
minkki on the end of a quick counter attack move but doesn't shoot well.

NL saves: 3, poss: 55%
HP saves: 2, poss: 44%

Narrilauma still in control, although a contact goal can still change the game considerably.

3rd period

Predators thinking alike, early pressure.

02:38 3-2 Kapadeus (-HaBa-) - two or three rebounds and KApadeus suddenly in an easy position
03:09 3-3 Kapadeus (dikke, -HaBa-) - GREAT through pass from dikke and Kapadeus delivers

dörre with a difficult 1v0, still should of have done better.
A good looking 2v1 for Narrilauma, but dikke does well.

05:27 3-4 minkki (-HaBa-, Kapadeus)

Upon which Predators pull their goalie for some really good undisclosed reason, fail to call him back on numerous attempts aaaand...

05:35 4-4 Blindi - an empty net goal

... which is probably worth some failblog entry if ever they were to accept a kiekko one. Seriously, someone get me a recording of this, still not believing it really happened, double palmface doesn't come even close to describing it :D

NL saves: 8, poss: 48%
HP saves: 3, poss: 51%

Anyway, good game with a spectacular finish, the draw is well-deserved from a neutral point of view.
