Tilastot

The seventh and ninth teams from 2divari's conference A promise an interesting "survival" match-up - though there's admittably still a lot of games to be played and Tenkrat's to be appointed.

------------------------ 1st period

Game on!
Opening pressure from the home side, but santtu is denied by the goalie... as is naq on the other side from a following counter attack.
santtu with an open net ahead of him, but he aims into a bunch of players.

*** 03:10 0-1 Compi (naq, K.Carson) - from a rather wild angle, but totally undefended - nice stuff from Compi.
*** 03:28 0-2 Daasaman - didn't see, some busty cheerleader totally blocked my view.

Another 2v1 for the visitors, goalie saw it coming tho.
Doyle alone inbetween the face-off circles, doesn't aim properly.
Another chance goes begging for Sahara.

*** saves: 6-6
*** poss: 54% - 45%

Uvex were largely in control of the game for the opening three minutes with Blizk dictating the play, then a sudden lack of concentration sent the game to the other side and the home side will have to try much harder if they want to get anything out of this game.

------------------------ 2nd period

Game over for K.Carson, sede takes his place. gjoran replaces HOUSTON and

*** 00:49 1-2 gjoran (santtu, Doyle) - SCORES!!! while i was typing this.

Compi with a response immediately, the post isn't his friend this time tho.

*** 04:18 1-3 sede - a long distance attempt finding the lower right corner of the net. The two goal difference is reinstated.

*** saves: 8-1
*** poss: 44% - 55%

Team Sahara have the game under control and the early contact goal never got on their nerves. Uvex will have to come up with something special here.

------------------------ 3rd period

santtu replaced by HOUSTON.

HOUSTON is trying hard, but his passes aren't finding anyone.
gjoran with a rather desperate attempt from behind the net but denied.

*** 02:54 1-4 Daasaman (sede) - sede sends Daasaman to a 1v0 who finishes cooly with a solid shot.

Daasaman denied by the goalie on a one-timer - should have been a goal.
HOUSTON alone in front of the net but the puck rebounds weirdly.

*** 04:55 1-5 Daasaman (sede, Compi) - 3v1 with Blizk outplayed, leading to a 2v0 finished with some luck.

Uvex are apparently waiting for the final whistle.

*** 05:35 1-6 Daasaman (Compi, naq) - as am I, since I didn't see this one either.

*** saves: 7-5
poss: 39% - 60%

A formidable win for the visitors, who dominated the game completely apart from the three opening minutes. Had Evot not conceded the two unnecessary goals in a quick succession it may have been a different game, but they just didn't pick up from being down at any point. That's it for today - Evolution Uvex one, Team Sahara six, Panda out.
