Thursday 22.08.2013, 17:30 • Tipsport Arena • Prague Hockey Cup

		So that's the end of a wild one here at the Tipsport Arena. It finishes 10-5 to HC Lev. Christensen and Vrana both with 3 points for HC Lev. Petermann with a brace for Munich (19:46:20)
	60:00	Game over.
	59:45	Engren gloves a Wozniewski shot from the neutral zone
	58:15	Huge breakaway save by Reimer on Zackrisson
	57:59	HC Lev ice the puck
	57:25	Wozniewski's shot is blocked by Porseland before Urbas hammers a slapshot over the bar
	56:27	Goal for Lev! There's three minutes left and HC Lev take it into double figures. ERIK CHRISTENSEN holds the puck at the right face-off dot, and fires a hard wrist shot that has too much mustard for Reimer to handle.
	55:41	Penalty against Red Bull Munich. Richmond for elbowing
	55:08	Two on one for Lev with Thornberg and Sekac. They try a number of intricate passes, but the final pass from Thornberg bounces over the stick of Sekac
	54:30	Porseland tries a cheeky play with Birner. The slap-pass is deflected by Birner but it goes over the glass
	54:20	Good set up play by Lev but Repik shoots wide on a turning shot
	52:49	Goal for Lev! That should be all she wrote now. It's 9-5 Lev as defenceman JURAJ MIKUS gets the goal for Lev. Mikus ghosts in alone at the back post and is found by a perfectly weighted saucer pass by Zherdev, leaving Reimer no chance.
	51:42	Great save by Engren on a Richmond chance out in front.
	50:19	Goal for Lev! Make that thirteen goals in this game. It's the first powerplay goal of the game as well. The puck is worked to the point and Oystrick finds JAKUB NAKLADAL at the top of the right circle. His slapshot goes between the arm and torso of Reimer and into the net.
	49:40	It's a brutal turnover by EHC Munich. Martin Thornberg bursts down the middle. He gets the shot away and then is hauled down by Haydar on the breakaway. It's only two minutes for hooking, not a penalty shot.
	48:58	Birner gets a 2 on 1 break with Repik. He elects to shoot and rings a laser of a wrister off the post
	48:30	Good blocker save by Engren on Hinterstocker to deny the German forward his second of the game
	48:02	One of the referees is down in the corner after hitting the deck. Looks like he will be able to continue
	47:28	Reimer is back in goal for EHC Red Bull Munich.
	47:13	Goal for Lev! It's like pond hockey out there. JIRI SEKAC gets a breakaway for HC LEV. The young forward gives the head fake, before moving to the backhand and roofing the puck on Reich
	45:23	Goal for Munchen! Munich are still in this one! They've been very good at keeping zone posession when they've got the puck, and Ryan Duncan's shot from the right wing trickles through Engren, and FELIX PETERMANN picks up the pieces and puts it into the empty net. Petermann's second of the game
	45:19	A deflected Maurer shot goes just wide
	43:22	Goal for Lev! Lev stop the comeback in it's tracks three minutes into the period. It's NICKLAS DANIELSSON with the goal, firing a wrister past Reich on the rush
	42:32	Lev go offside
	41:51	Icing by HC Lev
	41:32	Engren freezes the puck
	41:00	Good play by Jan Urbas gaining the Lev zone, but his wrist shot is blocked
	40:01	Start of 3rd period.
		Both teams are back for the third period
	40:00	2nd period finished.
	39:28	A Wozniewski shot from the left point deflects off a Lev stick and into the netting. The Lions are shaky
	38:46	Munich almost go on to equalise. It's Grant Lewis jumping up in the play once again, trying the wraparound which almost goes in off Porseland, but Engren makes the save
	36:48	Goal for Munchen! This getting very interesting now. HC Lev look asleep out there and Red Bull Munich have a fourth. A DANNY BOIS shot takes a wicked ricochet and loops up in the air, over Engren and trickles over the line
	35:38	Reich denies Nemec again with the blocker
	34:18	Goal for Munchen! Could we be seeing a comeback to rival all comebacks here? Red Bull Munich keep the pressure on. Engren makes the first save but COLTON FRETTER buries the rebound to make it 5-3
	34:04	It's a great chance for Red Bull Munich as Martin Hinterstocker breaks into the zone with speed. He speeds past Jaakola and tries to score on the backhand but Engren makes a great save to deny the German forward
	33:15	Great play by Novotny holding the puck up. Ondrej Nemec fires a wrister which Reich gloves.
	32:47	And now Red Bull Munich are back to full strength
	32:03	Kapanen mis-hits a one timer with Reich scrambling
	31:41	HC LEV are back to full strength
	31:22	Sparre shoots looking to beat Engren shortside but it's saved.
	30:53	Good blocker save by Reich on Zackrisson
	30:40	It doesn't get any better for Munich. They take a too many men penalty on the powerplay. It's going to be served by Jan Pavlu
	29:39	Penalty coming against HC Lev. Ondrej Nemec for interference
	28:49	Nikolai Zherdev gains the zone and shoots high, but Reich knocks it away with the blocker
	28:30	Nakladal's low shot is kicked away by Reich
	28:17	Jiri Sekac goes offside. He gets the shot off though, forcing a few words from some Re Bull Munich players
	27:26	Hinterstocker gets a shot away out of the box, which Engren snares and freezes
	27:07	Reich covers up. Disappointing powerplay for HC Lev
	26:12	Great save by Reich on Kapanen
	25:41	Sparre is out of the box
	25:13	Another penalty coming against Munich. 28 seconds of 5 on 3 time for Lev. Reich takes a tripping penalty, which is served by Hinterstocker
	24:02	Blocker save by Reich on a Birner snapshot
	23:47	Jaakola gets a shot off the draw which goes straight into the breadbasket of Reich
	23:41	Penalty coming against Munich's Daniel Sparre. Two minutes for hooking.
	23:12	Goal for Munchen! The goals keep on coming. Red Bull Munich are back to within three with an ANDY WOZNIEWSKI one timer from the top of the circle. It was a low hard shot and Engren couldn't get his pad to the puck
	21:34	Goal for Lev! Fourteen seconds. It took all of fourteen seconds. HC LEV gain the zone, and Petr Vrana drops a pass to MICHAL BIRNER on the left wing who sends a screaming one timer top shelf on Reich
	21:20	Goal for Munchen! The puck was worked from behind the goal to Benedikt Bruckner, who dished to FELIX PETERMANN at the right wing circle, and the defenceman absolutely hammers a one timer which sails past Engren
	21:15	Both teams back to full strength
	19:59	Red Bull Munich have made a change in net. Kevin Reich replaces Jochen Reimer
	20:01	Start of 2nd period.
		Both teams are out for the second period.
		Wow. HC LEV beat up on Red Bull Munich in that first period. The German side continue to endure a miserable time of things in the Czech Republic. Goals from Petr Vrana, Mathias Porseland, Erik Christensen and Jiri Novotny give Lev a 4-0 lead.
	20:00	1st period finished.
	19:15	And straight away the powerplay is over. Kapanen takes an offensive zone interference penalty, decking Danny Bois.
	19:09	Lewis is assessed a two minute hooking penalty on the play
	19:09	Jiri Sekac almost scores a beautiful solo goal. He moves around Grant Lewis, and tries to score on the forehand but Reimer gets down well to make the save
	18:32	Martin Thornberg rings the right post with a one timer off the draw
	18:26	Reimer forced into action once again. Good save this time round.
	16:46	Goal for Lev! It's a fourth for Lev just as the penalty expires. Erik Christensen finds JIRI NOVOTNY on the right wing, and the HC Lev captain bursts into the zone with speed and fires a hard wrist shot into the top corner. This is a battering
	16:06	Good set up play by Oystrick and Zherdev. Danielsson fans on the shot though
	14:44	Penalty against Red Bull Munchen. Felix Petermann for hooking
	14:37	Huge save by Reimer on Birner at the back door
	14:07	Goal for Lev! The goals keep on coming. It's Canadian forward ERIK CHRISTENSEN wiring in a wrist shot from the top of the circle as the Munich defence seemed to just switch off.
	13:41	Munich keep up the pressure and Jan Pavlu gets a shot from the left wing which Engren does well to save and hold on to
	13:11	Felix Petermann fires wide on the turn
	12:32	A Darren Haydar shot from the point hits Grant Lewis standing in front. Good pressure for Munich
	11:19	Goal for Lev! Straight off the face-off HC LEV double their lead. Petr Vrana wins the draw, Topi Jaakola dishes it across the blueline to MATHIAS PORSELAND, and the Swedish defenceman fires a hard low shot which beats Reimer
	10:24	Engren makes a save on a rare Munich attack
	08:43	Goal for Lev! The third line get the goal for HC LEV which they more than deserve. It was originally a 2 on 1 for the Lions, as PETR VRANA found Michal Repik with a cross-crease pass. It's a fantastic first save by Reimer, but Vrana follows the play to the net, and pokes the loose puck into the empty net with the Red Bull netminder sprawling on the ice
	07:07	HC LEV back to full strength
	06:53	Atte Engren bails out HC Lev with a fantastic save. Lewis pushing up in the play on the left wing finds Ryan Duncan all alone at the back post, and a diving Engren somehow gets his pad to the puck and keeps it out. Brilliant save.
	06:29	Grant Lewis' wrist shot goes wide
	05:53	Great effort by Nicklas Danielsson, hounding Maurer and forcing the mistake from the German defenceman. Kapanen following the play gets a shorthanded effort which is saved by Reimer
	05:07	Penalty coming against HC Lev for too many men on the ice
	03:38	All Lev at the moment. Captain Novotny has a wrist shot from the right wing saved.
	03:02	Great shot block by Hinterstocker on an Oystrick wrist shot
	02:36	Reimer comes well out of his net to cover the puck off the draw
	02:34	EHC Red Bull Munich ice the puck
	02:10	Jiri Sekac fires a low hard wristshot that goes just wide.
	01:55	Reimer then saves a point shot from Jaakola
	01:36	Lev go close early on. Birner on the right wing looks for Vrana in the centre. Reimer sprawls to make the save
	00:44	Engren kicks away a soft Seidenberg backhander
	00:15	A long dump in fifteen seconds in is gloved by Engren
	00:01	Game started.

		Today's pre-season game is the third on Munich's tour of the Czech Republic, which has seen them lose 4-1 in an ill-tempered game in Karlovy Vary, before losing to HC Slavia Praha 5-1 on Tuesday
		Good evening from the Tipsport Arena, where in a little over twenty minutes, the puck will drop between HC LEV Praha and EHC Red Bull Munich.
		Welcome. Game starts at 17:30.
