    62:36
    The Czechs getting a power play in overtime, as Jesper Jensen is goin off for tripping--Tomas Fleischman steps on his stick along the boards. The Danish bench is not happy with the call.
     
    46:05
    Just after the goal, the Czechs are going to the power play as Oliver Lauridsen took a chop at Irgl. Let's see if their power play is better with some momentum behind them.
     
    42:30
    And now the Czech power play is over, as captain Jiri Novotny is called for interference at the blueline. We'll have 4-on-4 for 1:09.
     
    39:42
    The Czechs are going to finish this period 5-on-3, as Stefan Lassen catches Jiri Hudler in the face with the stick. He's getting a double minor, which could carry over well into the 3rd period. They'll try to put on some pressure and get on the board before the intermission.
     
    38:04
    Czech 2-on-1 for Voracek and Hudler, but Phillp Larsen, attempting the sweepcheck, misses the puck and takes out Voracek's skates and he's called for tripping. Not was he was trying to do, but probably a good penalty nonetheless.
     
    27:52
    Denmark goes to the power play now as Jakub Nakladal gets his stick tangled between the legs of Jesper Jensen and takes him down. Tripping is the call.
     
    18:29
    The Czechs in a bit of trouble in their own zone, and Ladislav Smid takes a hooking penalty. We get our first look at the Danish power play.
     
    11:36
    The Czechs going to the power play for the 2nd time as Morten Green is called for slashing in the neutral zone. They may have to take penalties to contain the more talented Czechs, so the Czechs are going to want to get their power play going.
     
    06:31
    The game's first penalty is going to Denmark's Julian Jacobsen for holding Tomas Hertl in his own zone. They're playing strong defence in the early going, but the Czechs are going to get a chance to get things going on the power play.
