Dinamo lost last game of regulars

Dinamo Riga vs.

Amur Khabarovsk

26.02.09
0:1

Well, it was an interesting game - fast, with many moments and little pauses! The result is fair. The teams were equal, but Amur was just a little better. But actually this was a match of the goalkeepers! Hockey was opened, the goalie did wonders in almost every moment! But one in one episode Martin Prusek showed, probably, the most spectacular save of the evening - stoped the puck in a beautiful jump! The whole arena called out his name, as usually only a few sectors do that.

In the first period the home team attacked more, in the second - the visiting, in the third - again the home team. But I repeat, the game was equal. As one team had the advantage, the other answered with dangerous counter-attacks. Still, the game wasn't so nerve-racking. The atmosphere was free and easy, as both teams for real had nothing to fight for. Amur lost the chances for the play-offs a long time ago, Dinamo needed to save strength for the relegation games.

So, as a result, Dinamo Riga finished 10th in the regulars and will meet with another Dinamo in the 1/8 - Dinamo Moscow.

Dinamo - Amur 0:1 (0:0, 0:0, 0:1)

Goal:

0:1 - 48:41 Mikhail Sarmatin (Maxim Yushkov), PP
