Between TPS and HIFK, the emotions warmed up so much that a total of 64 minutes of cooling was seen in the game. TPS advanced from the series to the semifinals with a 3-1 win.

TPS: n Juhani Jasu leveled the game in the second set to 1-1 with a stunning rise, the rest of which began to happen. HIFK got to try after this with force majeure, after which the HIFK defender Johan Motin was directed to the shower side.

Motin tackled TPS in the middle Topias from Haapa, and after the video inspection, the judges confirmed the rigging of the head or neck area in question. The people of Turku got to the top in five minutes.

– If you want to develop hockey and keep it safe, there is no alternative to whistling for five minutes in such situations, Sport’s expert Topi Nättinen commented on the Hockey Tour.

– It wasn’t bad, outrageous or intentional, but Taklaus was practically headed. I think the video is very clear and well utilized, Nättinen continued.

However, TPS was overwhelmed. First, Turku residents were sentenced to a team penalty for too many field players. After that, it wasn’t long to play when Jonne Tammelan knee bump HIFK striker Jere Innalan knee. The sentence was 5 + 20 minutes from kneeling and Tammela also went to the shower.

Innala was led to the exchange box and she went to the booth but was able to return to the ice.

– This was a pretty typical situation. Tammela left the tackle and Innala changed direction, and Tammela no longer had time to take the tackle back. The good thing about Innala is that her legs are together. The right foot is not left free, which would put pressure on the inside, Nättinen comments.

The special five-minute culminated in HIFK Otto Paajanen hook ice and Aarne Intosen overpower. Intonen tempered for a moment, then shot sharply into the front corner. The goal was third for Intonen in the playoffs.

Intonen’s goal rose to a significant role, as HIFK was unable to overtake Karejev in the final. The TPS guard eventually garnered 34 repulsions.

– No real goals were scored. I think we gave ourselves a chance to win, but TPS defended well and last there was a good miller. They deserved their victory, the outspoken Paajanen regretted.

TPS finished the evening’s final scores four seconds before the end to an empty finish when Markus Nurmi hit his second goal in the spring. The power point was already the ninth for Nurme this season.

– This series was like our miniature season. Everything happened and happened. However, we were able to weld well together during the series. The games were different, but we always found some way to win the four games, Jasu commented.

TPS is now among the four for the second time in a row. Jasu is already looking forward to the next series against Ilves.

– I understand that Tampere is loud and the same seems to be here in Turku. I think it’s going to be a really great, eventful and audience-friendly series. We will definitely hit everything in the league, Jasu summed up.

In Mikkeli, KooKoo securely secured its place in the semi-finals when it won the final round by hitting Jukurit 1–0. The semi-finals are the first in the history of Kouvola’s KooKoo.

KooKoon became a hero Kasperi Ojantakanenwho shot from the front of the goal into the top corner of the puck Teemu Rautiainen preliminary work.

– Great feed, rarely do places like that even come. Definitely the sweetest hit of his career so far. There has not yet been success at the professional level. It felt good when I got to be a solver. Hopefully there will be more of these hits in the future, Ojantakanen commented on his hit.

Jukuri also had his own place, especially in the second installment, but the 19-year-old KooKoo guard, who plays in the peak spring Nick Malik The companies in Mikkeli reset time and time again. Having defeated 28 times, Malik played his second zero game in the spring.

KooKoo will face Tappara in the semi-finals.

– It tastes great. One milestone has been reached closer to the goal. Let’s just go. There is not much excitement when just playing, the solver Ojantakanen said.

In Tampere, we advanced to the next round in a 1–1 situation, where Ilves’ veteran took the lead Petri Kontiola. Kontiola made it through Miro Nallin thanks to the feed, and the veteran was not mistaken for his place. Kontiola, playing with his right hand, certainly fired the puck into the top corner.

Kontiola was injured in the third match of the playoff series when he flew David Sklenickan from the rigging into the air and partially fell to his necks. Kontiola did not play in the fourth match in Oulu, but he returned to Tampere for the fifth match. He finished 1 + 2 in the minor series.

The flies got a great start to the match when Arttu Hyryn the shot sank easily with the Ilves guard Marek Lanhgamerin to the finish. Hyry got a midfield pass Battery from Rädyand tapped in the top corner.

At the very end of the second round, Ilves got an important handicap with a force that had not worked well against Kärpp before. He pushed inside the puck from the corner of the paint Henrik Haapalawhen Joel Blomqvist could not hold Panu Miehon control in their equipment.

Ilves has not played in the semi-finals of the Finnish Championship League for 21 years. More than 10,000 spectators witnessed the historic moment in Tampere.
