Saturday 28.12.2013, 17:30 • Malmö Isstadion • World Junior Championship

		Goal for Team Czech Republic! DOMINIK SIMON scores the shootout winner in spectacular fashion.
		Amazing goal by Dominik Simon with the backhand deke a la Peter Forsberg, and the Czech Republic wins!
		What a brilliant move by David Pastrnak, it looked like he lost control of the puck but regained it and beat Paterson on a forehand deke, 1-1 atfter 2 rounds.
		Drouin goes to the backhand and beats Langhammer over the glove, 1-0 Canada.
	62:05	Now Radek Faksa tries to break free but a Canadian defenceman gets back and plays the body on him, Faksa goes down, no call, Czechs not happy.
	57:05	Dumba shoots through a crowd, hits Langhammer, a scramble in the crease and it's finally cleared.
	53:23	Now off the draw Curtis Lazar drives hard to the net with the puck and crashes into Czech goalie Marek Langhammer is down. The training staff is tending to him. There doesn't appear to be any penalty on the play.
	53:01	Goal for Team Canada! This is just insanity now. :16 after the Czechs score, th Canadians tie it right back up. After the initial drive is stopped the puck is fed back to CHARLES HUDON, who blasts it in.
	52:45	Goal for Team Czech Republic! They answer right back again. There's no clear winner of the draw but it's fed back to the point to PETR VRANA, who fires an absolute rocket high to the stick side on Paterson. Power-play goal.
	51:09	Goal for Team Canada! Canada with the shorthanded goal. First Laughton drove to the net with the puck, it went wide but then came out to AARON EKBLAD, who took a chance and pinched while killing a penalty and it paid off. Assist: Scott Laughton, Curtis Lazar.
	50:51	Canada now being penalised for too many players on the ice, as the puck came to the bench as they were changing and I guess someone played it. Czechs to the power play.
	44:07	Goal for Team Czech Republic! The Czechs get control right off the draw and VOJTECH TOMECEK deflects it through the legs of Paterson to put the Czechs back in front.
	44:05	That was a very quick power play as Connor McDavid hooks the stick of Jan Kostalek as he checks him and gets called for hooking.
	44:01	Libor Sulak getting the gate for holding, and Canada once again goes back to the power play.
	41:40	Play in the Czech zone as Canada on the power play again and Sam Reinhart fires a one-timer off the post.
	40:24	Goal for Team Canada! They went to work right away on the power play, Reinhart fed JONATHAN DROUIN at the point, and he fired it high blocker side on Langhammer. Power-play goal, and we'll now play 4-on-4. Assists: Sam Reinhart, Anthony Mantha.
	40:00	Michal Plutnar is getting the only penalty on that fracas at the end of the second period for roughing. He was trying to get to Connor McDavid, who had taken a late shot on goal.
	39:14	Also, Canada's Matt Dumba is getting a roughing penalty on the play, so their power play is over and we'll probably finish the period 4-on-4.
	39:14	We're now going to video replay, apparently. But the verdict is back quickly -- no goal.
	39:14	Canada go up ice quickly and we end up with a big pile up in the crease, some people start celebrating but it's no goal.
	38:31	Now Martin Prochazka is called for holding in his own zone, so Canada to the power play with a chance to tie it before the intermission. They're 1/2 so far.
	37:16	Goal for Team Czech Republic! One second after the penalty ends, they cash in. First Ronald Knot centred it out front and somebody hit the post, then it went back to the point and MICHAL PLUTNAR's shot went just under the crossbar. It seemed to change direction so it might not remain his goal, but for now it is.
	35:15	Now Connor McDavid takes a hooking penalty just after Paterson made a pad save. Czechs to the power play.
	33:33	Canada break into the zone right off the draw, McDavid sishes to Bigras and Langhammer makes a big save.
	28:23	Turnover and Drouin goes to the net with it but can't get a shot off as the puck is poke-checked away from him at the last moment.
	24:12	Matt Dumba is going off for hooking after some sustained Czech pressure, so they go to the power play.
	18:37	Connor McDavid with the steal down low, feed in front to Derrick Pouliot and Marek Langhammer denies him.
	16:45	We're now getting penalties following a scrum in front of the Canada bench, Scott Laughton of Canada and Radek Faksa of the Czech Republic, so we'll play 4-on-4.
	15:50	Goal for Team Canada! They had trouble getting the power play going but sure got the pressure on in the late going and cash in with :09 left. The puck is moved around the perimeter and Bo Horvat centred in front to SAM REINHART, who snapped it home to tie the score. Power-play goal. Assists: Bo Horvat, Connor McDavid.
	13:59	The Czechs getting their second penalty of this game as Dominik Volek heads off for holding. The Czechs have their hands full with Canada in their own end and this might be a pattern that gets repeated throughout the game.
	11:58	Just after the Czech penalty ended Matt Dumba fired a shot of the goalpost.
	09:52	Patrik Marcel was assessed a boarding penalty on the play, so Canada gets the game's first power play.
	07:10	Goal for Team Czech Republic! The Czechs got possession in the zone when DAVID KAMPF won a battle along the boards and eventually Ondrej Kase fed it back to him in front, and he backhanded it in from the slot along the ice. Assist: Ondrej Kase.
