Наш паровоз вперёд летит!
Loko! Loko!

 

[Domenica]

game 4

Chernikov gets applause for a hit (well, shove really).

 

[Domenica]

Goal for SKA. Loko was about to break out, a SKA players passes the puck just in time and the shot on goal was hurried. What a lucky goal.

SKA defense gets outplayed by one simple pass. And then: no movement.

 

[Domenica]

0:3 for SKA now.

 

[Exarz]

This is SKA's game!

 

[Exarz]

1:5 now!

 

[Domenica]

Looks like someone's perfect home record is about to be broken.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Well, this had to happen. No way SKA blows it once again.

 

[Domenica]

I leave the room for one minute and Ilya Kovalchuk scores a goal. 1:6.

Lokomotiv sold out their arena: 9071 people.

 

[Domenica]

game 5

I bet SKA will win this one and Loko the next.

 

[Domenica]

Refs are very strict today. Alexandrov's shove would have been overlooked in other games.

Bit of a coordination problem between Kovalchuk and Cervenka in the 4 on 4.

 

[Domenica]

Galimov barely out before they pull him back in. Another slashing call.

 

[Domenica]

1:2 for Loko after the 2nd. Completely deserved lead. Loko have just gotten stronger and stronger.

That Chudinov high-sticking was so deliberate. He whacks the guy (I wanna say it was Plotnikov) over the head from behind.

 

[Domenica]

Lokomotiv should have tried to score a goal of their own instead of running down the clock on the PP. Shorthanded goal by SKA was the result of that tactic.

 

[Exarz]

Fight between Kovalchuk and Holøs

 

[Domenica]

Don't know why I try to predict anything. So Loko wins 2:3. And after the final whistle we have an honest to God fight between Holos and Kovalchuk after Kovalchuk gets a punched by Sanford (?).

What a great game!

 

[russianhockey]

will be a nice and very exciting game tomorrow

 

[Domenica]

Not punched by Sanford, just shoved hard. I'd say Kovy won that one.

 

[FreshFruit]

SKA's another year of "failure". Kovy's bad play and bad temper are showing up while the team is playing no physical game whatsoever. Loko's players where wiping the floor whole game with the SKA's stars. Do they know how to check in Petersburg?

Maybe they aren't consistent but Chudinov absolutely rocked Apalkov, and Plotnikov got decked by someone.

Yes, I meant as a team work. All Lokomotiv was playing strong, physical game. Something I rarely see in SKA.

Game 6 will be broadcasted by Sport 1 Hungary HD.

 

[Salavat Yulaev]

Go Loko Go!

 

[russianhockey]

no further penalties for Kovy, that means he will play tomorrow.

 

[Domenica]

game 6

Still no goals after two periods. Chudinov has been playing dirty. First giving Galimov a long-distance dental exam, then slapping the back Platt's head.
