Dostal stops 18/20, as Ilves defeats SaiPa 4-2 and advances to the Liiga quarterfinals.
Bad news is that their new opponent is none other than Liiga's defending champion and regular season #1, Kärpät Oulu. Kärpät won 47 of 60 games this season, they are basically Liiga's Tampa Bay equivalent right now.
In order for Ilves to stand any chance in this series, Lukas has to steal a couple of games. He's going to face some heavy shot totals, that's for sure...
Siederoff is like a bad expired Apple Sieder lolLooks like we struck out pretty big on Gates and Siederoff... I remember people on the boards wanted Tommy Novak but he's done even worse. Too bad we didn't go with our new trend of drafting out of the Q by going with Nicholas Roy, or go with Caleb Jones. At least we got Terry though!
Novak is better than Gates. Doesn't say much, though. Between those two and their graduating classmate Tyler Sheehy, you'd be better off signing Sheehy to an AHL contract. He's a free agent and had 149 points in 149 career games.Looks like we struck out pretty big on Gates and Siederoff... I remember people on the boards wanted Tommy Novak but he's done even worse.

I can tell you Sheehy is and will be a better player, even if neither sees a minute in the NHL.Gates is almost two years younger than Sheehy.
