    58:11
    Sparta goaltender Marcel Melichercik is on the bench, giving Sparta a 6-on-5 advantage for this key faceoff in the Trinec zone.
     
    55:05
    Great chance for Sparta's Petr Ton to tie the game but he's denied by Peter Hamerlik on the deke attempt.
     
    Note that Trinec's 3rd goal, originally credited to goaltender Peter Hamerlik, has now been changed to defenceman Lukas Zib.
     
    53:34
    Goal for Trinec!
    Just after they get back to full strength, Trinec takes back the lead. DANIEL RAKOS converts a nifty pass from Peterek into the open side. Assists: Jan Peterek, Tomas Klimenta.
     
    51:32
    Great chance by Petr Ton on a one-timer on a pass from Hlinka, but an even better save by Hamerlik.
     
    51:20
    Sparta's getting another power play chance in this increasingly surreal third period. Ctirad Ovcacik is going off for holding, and he seems bewildered by the call.
     
    49:51
    Goal for Sparta Prague!
    Well Sparta answers right back to tie it. KAREL PILAR gets the goal, his second point on the power play today. Assist: Petr Tenkrat.
     
    49:30
    Goal for Trinec!
    Unbelievable! Sparta puts the puck into their own empty net with a delayed penalty coming to Trinec! Rachunek tried to pass back to a teammate who couldn't handle the pass, and it went off his stick and in. Goaltender Peter Hamerlik was originally credited with it, but it's been changed to LUKAS ZIB. Unassissted.
     
    48:26
    Daniel Pribyl is going back to the as he whacks Daniel Rakos with his stick as he skated by between the benches. Trinec once again to the power play.
     
    45:25
    Trinec going to the power play as Daniel Pribyl slashes the stick out of Martin Adamsky's hands in the neutral zone.
     
    Note the scoring change on the 2nd Sparta goal--originally credited to Karel Pilar, it has now been changed to Petr Tenkrat, who deflected it in front. 2 goals for Tenkrat today.
     
    38:17
    Gregorek with the shot from the point, followed by a mad scramble around the Trinec zone but nobody can jam it home, finally it's cleared.
     
    37:39
    Petr Tenkrat winds and blasts but Peter Hamerlik makes a big glove save.
     
    35:58
    More pressure from Trinec, the line of Kveton, Peterek and Adamsky really buzz and the puck gets behind Melichercik, but he reaches back and keeps it from crossing the line.
     
    34:55
    Goal for Trinec!
    VACLAV VARADA was apparently the past player to touch the puck in that cloud of dust around the crease. We have a tied game. Assist: Radek Bonk.
     
    34:55
    In a goalmouth scramble, the whistle goes but Trinec thinks they've scored. It looks like we have a video review.
     
    34:09
    Right after the goal, Trinec puts on more pressure and, amidst a scramble, Troy Milam takes a hooking penalty. Trinec to the power play.
     
    33:37
    Goal for Trinec!
    They answer right back. Roth finds JAN PETEREK with a stretch pass at the far blueline and beats Melichercik low to the stick side. Assist: Vladimir Roth.
     
    32:39
    Goal for Sparta Prague!
    Pilar one-times a blast from Sicak the point that's tipped by PETR TENKRAT, his 2nd of the game, to make it 2-0 on the power play. Assists: Karel Pilar, Vladimir Sicak.
     
    32:04
    Puck is frozen against the boards in the Trinec zone and Lukas Galvas is called for holding the stick of a Sparta player fighting for it.
     
    25:36
    With the momentum, Sparta is now going to the power play as Jakub Osrava is called for high sticking in his own zone.
     
    24:51
    Goal for Sparta Prague!
    Not long after getting back to full strength, a delayed penalty was coming to Trinec but PETR TENKRAT converted a pass across into the open side. Assists: Zdenek Bahensky, Petr Ton.
     
    22:34
    Petr Tenkrat now called for high sticking in the attacking zone, as Vladimir Roth was clipped. Trinec right back to the power play.
     
    19:17
    Sacha Treille cuts through the Trinec crease and clips the leg of Hamrlik, who goes down. He's getting a goalie interference penalty, but he doesn't like it.
     
    18:15
    Michal Bros fakes a shot, cuts in and takes a high wrister that Hamrlik knocks down with his catching glove, there's a mad scramble in front of the goal before it's finally cleared.
     
    17:05
    Turnover leads to a Sparta 2 on 1, but Bahensky's pass across to Forman just fails to connect in front--it would have been a tap-in.
     
    14:18
    Daniel Rakos called for interference as he runs a pick in the neutral zone on a Sparta dump-and-chase. Sparta back to the power play.
     
    13:46
    Trinec 2 on 1, Ruzicka feeds Adamsky, whose shot is stopped and held by Marcel Melichercik.
     
    05:58
    Josef Hrabal takes a slashing penalty in his own zone, Sparta goes to the power play for the first time.
     
    01:41
    Play goes down to the Sparta zone and defenceman Jiri Hunkes takes the game's first penalty for holding. Trinec's dangerous power play goes to work, they scored 3 goals in game 1.
     
    01:27
    Jaroslav Svoboda cuts out of the corner and tries to make a move on Hamrlik, but the Slovak goalie makes a huge save to keep this game scoreless and keeps out the rebound too while down.
