Canal+ brings HPK - Kalpa to your screen

On saturday Canal+ will be showing HPK-Kalpa, live. This is a very interesting game since Kalpa has the opportunity to go to the semi finals. They only need one more win and it is over for HPK.

HPK are having problems in the playoffs and are not playing as fans would expect from them. They are one of the favourites and many thought they would go to the finals but people are starting to lose hope for the Hämeenlinna team.
