    53:45
    Martin Sevc trips his opponent right under the nose of the referee and he isn't going to miss that, and Denmark have a very important powerplay coming up
     
    45:20
    Martin Sevc for interference though has handed Denmark a chance to get right back into it. You feel they have to score on this to give themselves hope!
     
    40:01
    Right at the end of that second period Morten Green of Denmark was penalised with handling the puck on purpose, giving the Czechs the chance to start the deciding period on the powerplay
     
    34:34
    Mikkel Boedker for tripping has already evened up the numbers however. Denmark aren't creating enough like in the first stanza
     
    33:04
    Jan Sekac for hooking has been called and Denmark have a powerplay to at least get something going. The Czechs have looked a lot more confident in this period for sure!
     
    27:19
    For interference Jannik Hansen though has been penalised and that wave of pressure has indeed been put to an end
     
    24:04
    And Vladimir Sobotka for slashing in that play has gifted the Danes a powerplay to try and draw level
     
    12:39
    Jaromir Jagr for hooking has been punished and now it's Denmark's turn to go on the powerplay
     
    06:35
    For hooking Stefan Jassen has now been called and having already scored on the powerplay the Czechs are again going to have a man's advantage
     
    03:50
    We have the first penalty of the game and it's against Denmark, Nicklas Jensen for tripping has received a two minute minor against his name
