Blues one game from the finals

06 Apr 2011 | Henrik Lundqvist

The #9 rank from the SM-Liiga regular season, Blues Espoo, continues to impress in the playoffs. With today's 2-0 win over regular season winner JYP the impossible thing may soon come true.

Espoo Blues

2:0

JYP Jyväskylä

Camilo Miettinen and Toni Kähkönen scored a goal each when Blues won the fourth game of the SM-Liiga semi finals to take a 3-1 lead of the series.

The first period was Blues's but in the second and third JYP dominated the play and chaced the goal. Iiro Tarkki in the Blues net played at his best and JYP never managed to beat him. Miettinen scored 1-0 at 37:07 and Kähkönen's goal came with a minute remaining when JYP had pulled their goaltender Pekka Tuokkala.
