15 long years of waiting are over ! Not the prettiest of games, but who cares !
Ilves came in the game like a hockey team, despite their hopeless
situation. HIFK played like World Champions for ten minutes ;scored a goal - and never got their composure back. After that it was 60 minutes of agony both for the team and for us the spectators.
But in 71.17 played - the rink exploded. Olli Jokinen scored assisted by Mika Kortelainen and theChampionship is ours
I´m keeping this comment short and will, possibly, return later
with some more flare (not !)
Thank you HIFK !
