Only two rounds left to decide their final in the first round of Playoffs in the SM-Liiga. In the other two, now closed, easily beat JYP Ilves (4-0) and Blues got the pass before Ässät (2-4).
JYP, regular season champions for the third consecutive year, facing a first-round affordable to a rival theory that came from the pre-Playoffs. 4 games were very different which include the 3, in Jyväskylä that came back from 0-3 against to take the match 4-3, leaving very touched to Ilves players, which will only be worth a victory that never came. Fulfilling the role of heavy favorites, JYP swept the whole of Tampere and qualified for semifinals in the fast lane. JYP
7-3
Ilves Ilves 1 to 2 JYP JYP
4 to 3
Ilves Ilves 2 to 4 JYP
On the other had decided to cross the opposite result before. Ässät was the big favorite after an excellent season and Blues came, as Ilves, from the previous round, so that, by looking at the statistics and in the actual situation of each team little hope was given to all Espoo. But sport is often unpredictable, and Blues got a 0-3 in the series that was almost final. A blow to Ässät, he could win the 4 th and 5 th game, recover something of an illusion, but in the 6 th game could not handle the hattrick of Toni Kähkönen and lost 3-0, saying goodbye to the season. Blues becomes the 1st team in the history of the SM-Liiga reaching the semifinals coming from upstream.
Ässät 3 to 4 Blues (OT)
Blues 3-0 Ässät
Ässät 1 to 2
Blues Blues 1 to 5 Ässät
Ässät 2-0
Blues Blues 3-0 Ässät
The first semifinal will face JYP and Blues, but the second semifinal has not yet participating, because the big derby between HIFK and Jokerit and the duel between Lukko and Kalpa is equated with 3 wins each. On Monday we'll know what both teams seek a place in the final of the SM-Liiga.
