Friday 22.06.2012, 10:00 • World Junior Championship - U16
     
    It was tough game for the Czech team. Twice they went short by a goal and without spectacular Novický saves it would be all over in the second period. In the third period Czechs improved their play and maybe they even deserved to win. Home team will play in saturday´s final against winner of match Slovakia - Switzerland, visitors from Canada took place in bronze medal game. I wish you nice day. (12:11:14)
     
    45:00
    Game over.
     
    44:54
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    It is all over now! The empty net goal for VÁCLAV ŠLEHOFER made the final score to 4:2 for the Czechs! Unasissted.
     
    44:47
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    Amazing end of this game! A shot in direct Richardson was touched into the net! Lucky moment for the scorer JINDŘICH ABDUL and the whole Czech team! He is now reaching the final! Assisted by Radek Veselý. Canadians took time-out.
     
    43:49
    Referee Krenz now rescue Czechs! His whistle stopped the game, when Canadians run towards Novický ´s net with a three on one situation. They went in his opinion offside.
     
    43:27
    It seems to be a very entertaining end of this game. Canada is still playing very hard and Czechs have problems to adapt to this kind of ball hockey play.
     
    43:05
    Canada is playing full strenght and their forwards quickly moved forward.
     
    42:40
    Czechs went offside, visitors can take a rest for a while. Home team is playing a respectable third period.
     
    42:02
    Dangerous shot from Hanuš, great save by Richardson. He is gaining confidence.
     
    41:25
    After another hit Veselý lied on the ground, referees this time did not give a penalty to team Canada.
     
    41:06
    It is getting warmer on the rink. Sharp hit from Patterson to Hanuš bring to the Czech team another power-play situation. Patterson gets a minor penalty for slashing.
     
    40:24
    Goal for Team Czech Republic!
    Unbelievable mistake from Richardson. RADEK VESELÝ only put the ball in direct canadian´s net and it shockingly crossed the line. It´s equalised again! Asissted by Ondřej Ulm.
     
    40:00
    Five minutes to go and Czechs are still losing a goal. Canada is now full-strenght.
     
    39:24
    But Czechs are not playing this power-play situation well. Canada threw balls easily out of the defending zone.
     
    38:02
    But referees give another scoring chance for the Czech team. Scanlan gets two minutes for slashing.
     
    37:28
    The ball is now hopping near Canadian net but the rebounds did not come in. The best moments of Czech play today.
     
    36:41
    Jánský stood in front of net but did not touched the ball in the right way. Czechs are making pressure and they´re trying to equalise the score again.
     
    35:33
    Another shots came from Hanus, who stands at the blueline but Richardson did not have to make a save.
     
    35:02
    Abdul shooted hard but went close.
     
    34:34
    Now we have some problems with timekeeping at the stadium. Referees are consultating the situation with officials.
