	02:35	Goal for Liberec! The score is opened less than three minutes into the first period! RADEK DUDA, fresh off the penalty box, received a pass on the side of the right circle and there was nobody covering him at all so he decided to wait a little and after Svoboda got out of his crease, the home forward pulled off a fancy backhand move to give the Tigers a one-goal lead. Assisted by Peter Galamboš.
	02:18	Grade-A penalty kill by the Tigers, they get back into full strength.

	00:18	Early penalty against the Tigers, Radek Duda (LIB) gets two minutes for hooking.
	00:01	Game started.
		Great matchup coming up between two teams with clearly different purposes. While the White Tigers are trying to get the best position for the play-out, or maybe try to recover some hope of getting into the playoffs, Pilsen is in town to build up a larger lead at the top of the standings. Neither of the teams is going to have an easy night, some tough hockey also expected as two most physical teams hit the ice.
		Welcome. Game starts at 17:00.
