Wondering the Scoring Average that determines the rankings of the Finnish Championship League? See the table for how many more stakes there are in the final rounds

The regular season of the Finnish Ice Hockey League will culminate in the next four days. Since not all teams play the same number of matches, the point average is now the factor that makes up the teams ’ultimate superiority.

At this point, Tappara has stuck to victory in the regular season, but the number one state can still slip into Ilves or even Jukuri in theory. The positions of the top three are thus permanently undivided. Tappara and Jukuri have two matches left, Ilves will play as many as three matches in four days.

Tappara’s shares will be boosted by the fact that the ax breasts will face jumbo aces in the final round. Ilves, on the other hand, plays two easy Sport matches in advance. With jockeys, the opponents are perhaps the toughest – HIFK and Lukko.

One home advantage in the quarterfinals is still undivided. HIFK is in possession of it right now, but the people of Helsinki have two challenging games ahead of Jukure and Lukko. In theory, IFK could collapse to seventh at worst if everything went wrong for it. But this is hardly the case in practice.

TPS and HPK may still rise to series – especially TPS, but it may be more realistic to talk about going to the six-a-side chess. Both TPS and HPK once again have a series and fitness weight throwing bag SaiPa in the program, for which there should be no greater resistance.

The ball club can hardly be worse than a standstill, given the current mood of the club. The ball club has won just two of the last six games, but Saturday is still a big chance for peace of mind.

For the reigning champion, 7th Luko, the doors are open a bit in every direction, as it could be the fourth in the regular season next Tuesday or it could even slip out of the “pity players,” 11th, in a nightmarish way.

However, two factors significantly reduce the likelihood of Rauma’s popping up as a home-win in the semifinals; it plays three games for four days and also faces as many as three of the top four in the series (Tapparan, HIFK, Jukurit).

A direct playoff spot, that is, getting into the top six, is a top priority from many angles. No top team wants to swing below this place, as everyone wants a precious week of rest to recharge their batteries. The lock has lunch to hurt to six, but possibly it will take the team to big success in the final meters of the base series.

KooKoo, Kärpät and Pelicans are mainly trying to secure their place in the 1st playoff round, ie in the 7th-10th place. Sure enough, if HPK and Lukko lost the rest of their game, the prize could theoretically be six of a kind for a trio. It would require quite a lot of cross-play.

Below the playoff line, KalPa, who is 11th, is currently in considerable distress, but on the other hand, hope is still alive. On Saturday, Tampere will have a high-quality Ilves. For example, if KalPa rips four points out of the two remaining games, and the Pelicans are left with zeros twice at the same time, then KalPa would overtake the Lahti players. KalPa will face JYP in the final round.

If KalPa gets five or six points to dig in the final games, in addition to Pelicans, Flies, KooKoo or even Lukko will also enter the danger zone.

Saturday’s round shows a pretty extra direction for the playoffs and most teams. I found on the wrists none of the aforementioned league teams play because everyone has their own stakes in the struggles. For KalPa, the day may bring the darkest news that its 2021-22 playoff dream has crumbled.
