Toronto vs Seattle

 

Talk about taking control of the game early, Seattle allowed only 3 shots in the first period. Seattle also scored the only goal in the first period. The second period was more even when it comes to shots, but Torq made it 3-0 for Seattle when around 12 minutes of the 2nd period was played. Nylen managed to make it 3-1, but only a minute later Chara scored a shorthanded goal for Seattle. Despite being the more active team in the third period, the goal scored by Chara was too much for Toronto, Seattle won 4-1. Chara scored 3 goals and was the first star of the game.

Riga vs Moscow

 

Markinson scored 1-0 for Moscow when 12 minutes in the first period was played. Miklavz tied the game a few minutes later. Moscow was the stronger team in the first period, they shot 11 times. Riga had 7 shots. Despite Riga absolutely dominating the second period with 19 shots to Moscow's 5 - no goals were scored in the second period, Emeritus was on fire. Moscow started the third period strong, Karjalainen and Hlozek scored for Moscow. Sandstrom made it 3-2 when 8 minutes were played. Riga's failure to score in the second was a tough pill to swallow, Preobrazhensky scored for Moscow on the powerplay when around 4 minutes were left, Moscow won 4-2.

Riga needed a win to stay in the running for the cup, but they could not hold on to what they were striving towards. It was a tough battle, but in the end, Moscow moves on. It all started with Hard Markinsons goal midway through the first, to only be tied a minute later by Anze Miklavz. Things then went quite until the last period where Moscow got 2 quick goals by Kyosti Karjalainen and Jan Hlozek respectively. Riga seemed stunned, but wouldn’t give up so they popped another midway through the third by Battre Sandstrom. But with all to push and hard work Riga could not pop any more, instead Moscow scored yet another by Sergey Preobrazhensky. 4-2 is the final score.
