Prospect Info: Champions Hockey League

[montreal]

I switched over to watch Olofsson since no Ylonen. Ylonen's team needs to win by 8 goals and have the Czech team lose in regulation so a tall order.

Olofsson's team down 2-1 after 1, a win or OT loss and they advance, if they lose in regulation then they need Bern to lose.

 

[montreal]

Puljujarvi with a nice goal to put his team ahead 3-2 in the 2nd. Olofsson hasn't do much of anything so far once again.

Ylonen's team tied 2-2 so they are pretty much toast in this tournament. Not that they had much of a shot going into the game as winning by 8 goals was going to be very tough.

 

[montreal]

Olofsson's team ties it 3-3.

 

[montreal]

Olofsson actually did something in the offensive zone, not sure if he'll get the assist but he fired it on net and his teammate knocked it in to tie the game with less then 26 seconds left.

 

[montreal]

Ylonen's team is out, it's 2-2 in OT.

Olofsson's team advances to the playoff round as their game is in OT as well but that's all they needed to advance. So win or lose they advance and will be one of the final 16 teams.

 

[montreal]

Olofsson with a nice puck rush in OT and sent a nice pass to his teammate but he couldn't put it home. I've only seen him a couple times so far this year but this appears to be his best game.

 

[montreal]

Broberg with a terrible attempt in the SO, Jussi Jokinen scored a beauty in the SO. Karpat wins.

Olofsson with his 1st point in any game since the summer showcase (and that puck didn't go in) but he finally records a point!

1 a, +1, 15:30 TOI which is a season high in either SHL or Champions league games.

I didn't think it was that bad. Puljujarvi's was a lot worse.

it was terrible. Puljujarvi's was bad but he did score a nice goal to put them ahead in the 3rd.

He had the goalie out of position, just didn't get a good shot off. Pulju fell down before he could get to to the net.

Topi Niemela just scored to put his team up 4-3, the goalie should of had it but this kid is not afraid to shoot the puck, he's got 6 shots so far.

It ended 4-4 (the Swedes scored with 27 seconds left) then Kärpät won it on penalties to no avail since Skellefteå is going to the play-offs together with Bern, all 3 teams had 11 points but Skellefteå had the best goal difference, in fact all Swedish teams went through.

i moved this to the champions league thread, the post on the 17 year old Finnish defensemen was in the prospects thread since he's draft eligible and I never heard of him before the game but was impressed.

 

[montreal]

The schedule for the playoffs will be out next week as the games aren't until next month but Olofsson's team will face Djurgården in the 2 game series.

 

[WeThreeKings]

And this is why it's frustrating.

He has this in him.. he has all the tools, he just can't seem to do anything with them in the SHL level.

 

[montreal]

tomorrow at noon the champions league playoffs start for Olofsson and his team. The 2nd game will be next week on the 19th.

 

[montreal]

Olofsson just scored! It's his first goal of the season between SHL or Champions league. It was off a turnover.

[montreal]

game ended up a 3-3 tie as Dif scored late in the game. Couldn't watch much due to work. Olofsson 1 g, 3 shots, 47% on draws, 15:41 toi.

Highlights.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Olofsson rewarded with his great play lately being put as 1C for their second leg match against Djurgardens.
