Thursday 05.06.2014, 14:00 • ČEZ Arena, Pardubice, Czech Republic • IIHF Inline Hockey World Championship

		Welcome. Game starts at 14:00.
		Hello and welcome everyone to the quarterfinal day of the 2014 IIHF World Inline Hockey Championship! The Top Division programme starts with the game between Sweden, second in Group B, and Slovakia, third in Group A.
		Tre Kronor will enter the game as the favourited team. They lost their first game to Finland 4-7, but then with some luck won over Germany 4-3 in overtime and over Canada 5-4. Sweden has a lot of ice hockey players, last year they grabbed the silver medals.
		Team Slovakia was the biggest surprise of the last tournament in Dresden, after victory against Finland in the quarterfinals they finished on the fourth place. This year in the group stage they won only over Great Britain 7-1.
		Starting lineups: Sweden: Ollikainen (Kruse) – Lilja, Sjören, Nillson, Höglund – Gunnarsson, Svensson, Axelsson, Berglund – Erkgards, Bejmo, Wall, Eriksson – Johnsson, Kokkonen. Coach: Björn Östlund. Slovakia: Neumann (Ondrejka) – Preisinger, Novajovsky, Simunek, Ruzicka – Jasko, Novak, Holovic, Prokop – Mrazik, Ruckay, Siller, Haring. Coach: Imrich Antal. Referees: Aumueller (GER), Morrison (USA).
	00:01	Game started.
	00:34	Goal for Team Sweden! Wow, that was really fast. First shot on goal, first success by Team Sweden. MARCUS NILSSON grabbed the puck between the cirlcles and made a move on Neumann, who didn't see much and was late by his post. Assist: Robin Sjören.
	00:50	Another problem here for the Slovaks. Tomas Jasko – minor penalty for hooking.
	01:17	Goal for Team Sweden! And he does it again! Power-play didn't last long when MARCUS NILSSON decided to take a shot from the right side. It went nicely into the corner! Assists: Andreas Svensson, Dick Axelsson.
	03:37	Goal for Team Sweden! "Ingenting kann stoppa oss" sounds again here in Pardubice! This time it was a great action by Svensson, whose pass found DICK AXELSSON and that was an easy job for him. Sweden controls the game. Assists: Andreas Svensson, Filip Gunnarsson.
	05:22	The Mideuropean team has problems to cross the red line. It's tough to recieve three goals this quickly.
	06:29	This time it was much better, but Ollikainen was perfect on a shot by Roman Simunek.
	07:32	Goal for Team Sweden! After a good minute by Team Slovakia it's 4-0 already. Fast breakaway and Svensson passed the puck to the right side, FILIP GUNNARSSON then hit the space by the near post. Assists: Andreas Svensson, Dick Axelsson.
	09:22	Andreas Ollikainen has to be patient again, he has almost the same work as Vladimir Neumann. But these opportunities are just weak.
	09:55	Goal for Team Sweden! I feel sorry for the Slovaks, they don't deserve this score. But Sweden is incredible effective in the attack zone. FILIP GUNNARSSON didn't invent anything big, just a great shot under Neumann's blocker. Assist: Andreas Svensson.
	11:11	The play has pretty slow pace now, neither team needs to hurry.
	12:00	1st period finished.
		Well, this is pretty one-sided game, but I hope the Slovaks will show us something too. However, Sweden is really getting stronger and stronger during this tournament.
	12:01	Start of 2nd period.
	12:35	Tre Kronor are very active again and it might have been 6-0 if Jakub Ruckay (SVK) didn't hold his opponent. Second PP for Sweden.
	13:30	Robin Sjören got the pass in front of empty net, but missed.
	14:11	Goal for Team Slovakia! Here comes the first joy for Team Slovakia! The Swedes forgot on JAKUB RUCKAY who went off the penalty bench and he did really well on his breakaway! Assist: Milan Siller.
	15:30	Slovakia feels big encouragement, now Ollikainen had to stop a great attempt with his blocker.
	16:18	One of the Slovaks was standing in the goal crease and the refs were very strict.
	17:29	Goal for Team Sweden! Good play by Team Slovakia but just in seconds it's lost again. Kokkonen sent Axelsson and EMIL BEJMO to the odd-man rush and Bejmo's slap shot was without compromises. Assists: Dick Axelsson, Jesper Kokkonen.
	18:08	Peter Novajkovsky (SVK) gets minor for holding.
	18:34	Goal for Team Sweden! The avalanche is rolling down and down. It looked like Neumann could have saved the shot by ROBIN SJÖREN, but there was a liitle space between his pads. Second PP goal. Assists: Emil Bejmo, Henrik Höglund.
	19:54	Players in yellow are really somewhere else, they are playing their own game.
	20:55	Great sniper Henrik Höglund hit Vladimir Neumann in his goal crease, but he was pushed into him.
	21:24	First power-play opportunity for Slovakia! Robin Sjören gets called for holding.
	22:09	Slap shot by Peter Novajkovsky was blocked by his opponent.
	22:36	Now Preisinger's shot went into air and Ollikainen grabbed it by his catching glove.
	23:07	Sweden is playing at full strength. I say it all the time, you have to shoot and shoot.
	23:41	The Slovaks would like to score. A shot by Filip Novak was very luckily stopped by the crossbar!
	24:00	2nd period finished.
		This period was more even than the first one, but I'm afraid it won't help the Slovaks to make the game a bit dramatic.
	24:01	Start of 3rd period.
	25:04	Juraj Prokop was all alone in front of Ollikainen. The puck hit both posts and went away!
	25:51	Goal for Team Sweden! What a pity, it's another goal for Sweden. CARL BERGLUND didn't succeed from his breakaway, but after a nice pass by Dick Axelsson he had pretty easy job. Assists: Dick Axelsson, Johan Erkgards.
	26:40	The Slovaks intercepted Swedish combination and Simunek was very close to score.
	27:55	On the other side a 3-on-0 situation doesn't end with a goal. Unbelieveable.
	28:56	Carl Berglund (SWE) gets minor for slashing. Both teams are thinking just of attacking and completely forgot to defend.
	29:16	Ollikainen was short on a shot by Filip Novak, but the post helped him.
	29:55	Huge mistake by the Slovaks, but Emil Bejmo couldn't capitalise from the breakaway.
	30:29	Sweden plays at full strength.
	31:16	Goal for Team Sweden! We're just one goal from the double-digit score. Eriksson sent the puck back and JOHAN LILJA's great shot didn't gave Neumann a chance. Assists: Mikael Eriksson, Robin Sjören.
	33:13	Swedish bench was already cheering, but Andreas Svensson only hit the post.
	34:12	The pace has slowed down and the Slovaks are also thinking of scoring.
	35:22	However, from a backhand shot like this by Jozef Haring, it won't do.
	35:33	Another power-play for Slovakia. Henrik Höglund gets called for holding.
	36:00	End of 3rd period.
		How many?
	36:01	Start of 4th period.
	37:05	The continuation of this power-play was really poor, Sweden plays at full strength.
	38:19	And here comes an opportunity on the other side. Milan Siller (SVK) gets minor penalty for tripping.
	38:59	Another penaly for the Slovaks! Jozef Haring (SVK) – minor for cross-checking.
	39:33	Goal for Team Sweden! It's finally here. Nilsson made all the opponents think he will shoot, but then he found ANDREAS SVENSSON in front of the empty net. Sweden is 3/4 on the power-play and the fifth comes now. Assists: Marcus Nilsson, Dick Axelsson.
	41:17	Slovakia plays in full strength, no more goal now.
	41:40	Mikael Eriksson (SWE) – minor penalty for holding the stick.
	42:28	My apologize, in the Swedish goal is Emil Kruse since the third period.
	42:55	Power-plays are just a small reason why the score looks like it looks. We can see a big number of shots now, but all of them go really wide.
	43:46	Sweden plays at full strength.
	44:28	Goal for Team Sweden! First hat-trick of the game is here! Kokkonen didn't finish the odd-man rush, he waited for MARCUS NILLSON, who scores his third of the game! Assists: Jesper Kokkonen, Johan Erkgards.
	45:25	Goal for Team Sweden! Tre Kronor ale still hungry! Robin Wall with MARCUS NILSSON went 2-on-0 and then it was an easy job. Assist: Robin Wall.
	45:56	Filip Gunnarsson has gone mad and we have a huge fight here!
	45:56	This is the result: Andrej Mrázik (SVK), Filip Gunnarsson (SWE) both double minor penalty for roughing and misconduct.
	46:01	Jonathan Johnsson (SWE) – minor penalty for hooking. Slovakia will play 4-on-3.
	47:15	Preisinger's shot went off Kruse's shoulder and then the post!
	48:00	Game over.
		Well, the first quarterfinal in the Top Division was very one-sided. I guess Slovakia will be really disappointed, but this is hockey. Sweden becomes the first semifinalist and we can clearly say they are going for gold! Best players of the game are goalies Emil Kruse and Vladimir Neumann. (15:31:53)
