Weird, you have had 2-3 penalty shots this season and i never seem to get them. What i remember, the last regulation time-penalty shot was from my Nashville season back in 2010.

Well, good luck to game 3 :D Pidä pää kylmänä ja mee loppuun asti.

Thanks, all.

@Xiri: Penalty shots come when you're tripping from behind... using the hook doesn't create them but the poke checks do... I use a lot of poke check... just my playing style I guess.

HIFK got a great start as Ville Peltonen scored after only 43 seconds. Looked like Blues were still asleep.

Posted Image

Roope Talaja made it 0-2 HIFK. This was a weak shot and it was definitely a cheap goal allowed by Riksman who looked really nervous & shaky in the 1st period.

Posted Image

Joel Perrault made it 3-0. He had plenty of time to put it in. Where was the Blues defense?

Posted Image

Ex HIFK-player Robert Nyholm's face shows how Blues felt at this moment.

Posted Image

2nd and 3rd periods were scoreless but HIFK played really physical and hit everything in sight.

Posted Image

HIFK took series lead 2-1 with a convincing victory.

HIFK started the scoring early again in game 4. And again it was Ville Peltonen who made it to the scoresheets. 1-0 HIFK.

Posted Image

Teemu Rinkinen was the best player of the night. Here he ties the game. 1-1.

Posted Image

HIFK's best player was Toni Söderholm. Here he sends Tommi Huhtala flying with a perfectly timed hip check.

Posted Image

Blues took 2-1 lead but then Söderholm stroke. A shorthanded goal that raised HIFK spirits a lot.

Posted Image

Unfortunately Blues took the lead again, during the same PP. Varakas made a bad screen for Ortio and Rinkinen slapped it in. 3-2 Blues.

Posted Image

It was a weird game. Söderholm netted his second SHG and then Blues avenged it almost immediately. 4-3 Blues.

Posted Image

Niko Nieminen made it 5-3. It wasn't Ortio's best night, that's for sure.

Posted Image

Granlund lifted the HIFK hopes once more and made it 5-4.

Posted Image

HIFK pulled Ortio and even got a great scoring chance for Perrault but Blues stole the puck and scored an empty net goal.

Series tied 2-2.

HIFK swapped Joni Ortio to Mika Norja for the game #5. Not that the loss in Game #4 was Ortio's fault or anything but admittedly he allowed few easy goals. And besides, Norja had been solid backup in the regular season as well. It was worth a shot.

Also, big Mikko "Knockout" Kurvinen replaced Martti Järventie (flu).

HIFK used their best weapon: intimidation. IFK might not be as big and bad as it used to be but they still have decent size and some gritty players. Blues "golden helmet" Teemu Rinkinen was a marked man.

Posted Image

Joni Töykkälä was quite a pest for the Blues players too. Here he's discussing with Juuso Riksman, not congratulating him for the last win I'm sure.

Posted Image

First period was scoreless. Late in the 2nd Mika Hannula finally scored. It was his first goal of the playoffs. 1-0 HIFK.

Posted Image

Unfortunately for HIFK, Mika Sallinen evened it quickly. 1-1.

Posted Image

Corey Elkins has been a bit quiet so far but tonight he scored the GWG. Gigantic slap shot and Riksman didn't have a chance. 2-1 HIFK.

Posted Image

Joel Perrault put it in the empty net and secured the win.

Posted Image

HIFK lead the series 3-2. Blues is facing elimination at home. Their bench showed a signs of anger and frustration, which leads me to believe this might not be over just yet.

Ortio was back back to Game Six. Kurvinen stayed in the D as Järventie hadn't been fully recovered.

Arttu Luttinen started the scoring for HIFK. He's one of the more experienced players who has really came forward in the playoffs.

Posted Image

Toni Söderholm was forechecking deep in the Blues zone, stole the puck, passed it to Töykkälä who found Mikko Kurvinen free.

Kurvinen scored his first ever playoffs goal (and second of the season). Couldn't have been timed better. 2-0 HIFK.

Posted Image

Blues was very disciplined and didn't take penalties. And 3:16 in the 2nd period Valtteri Virkkunen made it 1-2 from Jalvanti's pass.

Posted Image

The spirit of HIFK, Toni Söderholm made a beautiful goal after a few nice moves. 3-1 HIFK.

Posted Image

Blues didn't give up. At 18:49 3rd they scored a typical dirty Blues goal. Huhtala (their best player of the series) stole the puck in the offensive zone from the HIFK defenders and literally smashed it in. Blues still had a slim chance.

Posted Image

But whatever hope there was left, Corey Elkins ended that. An empty net goal. (1+1 tonight for Elkins). Good showing.

Posted Image

HIFK won the series 4-2 and advanced to the Semifinals.

Jokerit has already taken the first loss of the series. Very surprising start but then again if you look at the scratch department you'll see that they have three important key players injured.

The scouting reports were wrong. Erkinjuntti was dressed today. HIFK replaced Eero Somervuori with veteran Kimmo Kuhta. Somervuori has been somewhat disappointing in the whole season.

Tappara got a great start for their semifinal run when Aleksander Barkov got a rebound and put it in. 1-0 Tappara.

Posted Image

Jussi Makkonen made it 2-0 Tappara. A great behind the goal pass by Lucenius.

Posted Image

HIFK stroke back immediately. Markus Granlund tried his luck and to everyone's surprise it went in! Mika Noronen wasn't probably ready for a long distance slapshot like this. Rather easy goal.

Posted Image

Sami Venäläinen took a penalty and HIFK Captain Peltonen punished. The game was tied. Very important goal just before the end of 2nd period. 2-2.

Posted Image

Then Antti Erkinjuntti got a chance. A sharp wrister went through Ortio's pads. 3-2 Tappara.

Posted Image

Noronen was constantly complaining to the refs.

Posted Image

Sami Venaläinen made it 4-2 and it was starting to look bad for HIFK.

Posted Image

But then Talaja made it 3-4. An ugly goal that HIFK desperately needed.

Posted Image

But there was only less than 30 seconds left. Coach Jalonen took a timeout and pulled Ortio.

Posted Image

HIFK managed to get two good shots but Noronen kept his cool. Tappara took the Semifinals opener and lead the series 1-0.

Posted Image

There were some heated emotions between Tappara's Markus Kankaanperä and IFK's Melart. Melart wanted to fight but "Kanki" refused. These two ex-teammates badmouthed eachother many times during the game. Maybe the explosion happens in the next game?
