	11:34	Ondrej Benedikt (PLZ) gets a roughing penalty as well.
	12:14	Team West Coast at full strength and will continue on power play.
	13:30	What a chance for West Coast! Kracina lied on the ground and seemed out of play, but he still managed to hold his pad on the post and kept the ball in front of goal line.
	15:00	1st period finished.
		To sum up first period, we have to mention seven penalties but also two goals by the Marlins. Plzen scored early and added another one still within five minutes since the opening face-off. Express had a great opportunity right before the horn, but Kracina made the save. Shots on goal: Plzen – 15, West Coast – 7.
	15:01	Start of 2nd period.
	15:32	J. Benedikt (PLZ) gets a minor penalty for high-sticking.
	16:10	Michal Slanec (PLZ) called for tripping and West Coast will play a 5 on 3 power play!
	16:37	Bad discipline by both teams. Bassi (WCE) is sent out for interference and gives away a big chance for his team.
	19:10	Jiri Benedikt hits the pipe!
	19:15	5 on 3 power play for Plzen!
	19:35	Plzen has scored! Long siege of West Coast's goal ends with a goal by JAROSLAV KEJR, who found his spot between the circles and smashed it past Toor for his second goal of the day – 3:0! Assist: Martin Krch.
	20:02	Another power play for home team. Keelhaul (WCE) gets a minor penalty for cross-checking.
	21:16	Plzen has scored! ONDREJ MALY quickly adds another one to the gap with an easy rebound against open net after Benedikt's slap shot – 4:0. Assists: Jiri Benedikt, Michal Edl.
	21:51	Penalty shot for team West Coast Express!
	21:51	Brodie Jackson did a great job and sent Kracina down, but couldn't get the ball past him!
	22:31	Another sound of iron behind Toor. A bit of fortune for the Canadians.
	23:31	Jiri Benedikt (PLZ) is sent out for interference.
	23:57	Penalty for WCE. 4 on 4.
	24:40	Another penalty for the North American selection and therefore 4 on 3 power play for Plzen.
	25:45	One more penalty for West Coast Express.
	25:45	Visiting team timeout.
	26:27	Traffic in the penalty box. One Canadian left, another one comes!
	28:11	Lukas Vondrazka (PLZ) called for interference.
	29:45	Ondrej Benedikt (PLZ) and another penalty for marlins. Roughing.
	30:00	2nd period finished.
		Plzen kept the pace and scored two more goals. West Coast could reply immediately, but Brodie Jackson failed to score with a penalty shot. Then the Canadians played consecutively shorthanded for almost 5 minutes, most of it in sent down by two! However, they shut the home offense down and didn't let it to score one more.
	30:01	Start of 3rd period.
	35:10	Power play for HBC Plzen.
	36:11	Penalties on both sides. 4 on 3 advantage for the home team.
	37:48	West Coast Express takes another penalty. Its players are obviously not happy with the amount of players sent out.
	38:42	Another double power play for the Marlins!
	39:26	Hard slash by one of the visitors is awarded with two more minutes. 5 on 3 power play of Plzen will last a while longer.
	41:16	This time, the reason is interference, but the result is the same. West Coast down to three.
	42:41	Plzen has scored! Long power play of the home side resulted in the fifth goal! LUKAS HANUS scored with a nice shot from right wing. Assist: Jiri Benedikt.
		Today's attendance is 156.
	44:58	One last penalty with only two seconds to go. Martin Kunzmann (PLZ) closes the long list.
	45:00	Game over.
		What a game! Plzen started with an easy looking win by five with Kracina's shutout, but it probably was more a gift from the opposition, because the Canadians collected unbelievable amount of 34 penalties in minutes. They will probably have to change something for the next games if they want to be thinking about playing the final game on Sunday. (19:32:01)
