Lev Praha
Thursday 12.09.2013, 18:00 • Minsk Arena • KHL
     
    A fantastic defensive period by Lev, as they physically ground down this Dinamo team, who really couldn't get anything going offensively that period despite several power plays. Dinamo was 0/6 in the game and Lev just 0/1, but the Lev penalty killing was fantastic.

    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): Dinamo 12 (30), Lev 4 (22). (20:15:11)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:34
    Icing Lev.
     
    59:11
    Now Dinamo called for offside. Faceoff at centre ice. Dinamo not taking their timeout, apparently conceding defeat.
     
    58:42
    Platt dumps it in, Vehanen catches it and keeps it in play, Haugen still in the Dinamo net.
     
    58:00
    2:00 to go, Dinamo again has to start out from their own zone.
     
    55:52
    But just as I say that, Dinamo rushes in on goal. Micflikier attempts a wraparound but Vehanen gives him no room. He whacks away at it again, and he is certainly not the most popular player on the ice as far as Lev's concerned.
     
    55:30
    Lev doing a good job of keeping Dinamo pinned in their own zone.
     
    54:00
    Lev shot from the point and we have a real battle in front between Pavlovich and Danielsson, but play continues.
     
    53:28
    Shinkevich shoots from the point, Vehanen scoops it up. Both teams back to full strength in :04.
     
    52:23
    Icing Lev with 1:09 left of 4-on-4 play.
     
    51:25
    Penalties on the play to Jacob Micflikier and Nathan Oystrick, my guess would be slashing and roughing are the calls. There's just :06 left in the Dinamo power play, then we'll have 4 on 4.
     
    51:25
    Big scramble in front of Vehanen but the Lev goalie once again keeps it out after Platt's shot, then Micflikier digs for the rebound and we get more rough stuff.
     
    51:00
    The play is whistled as it's gloved by Vehanen. :31 left in the penalty.
     
    50:24
    Finally the puck goes out of play. Faceoff in the Lev zone with 1:07 left in the penalty.
     
    50:10
    Shot from the point by Derek Meech, I'm not sure if it got through to Vehanen or was blocked in front.
     
    49:31
    Ondrej Nemec going to the box for putting fellow Czech national team member Zbynek Irgl in a headlock--he goes off for holding. Dinamo to the power play once again.
     
    48:18
    Offside Lev on the shoot-in, faceoff at centre ice.
     
    46:58
    Shot from Pavel Chernook at the point is again deflected out of play. Another faceoff upcoming in the Lev zone.
     
    45:20
    Dinamo attempts a rush just after the penalty ends, but it's deflected out of play. Faceoff in the Lev zone. Dinamo now 0/5 on the power play today.
