Extraliga Round 4

EXTRALIGA ROUND 4 RESULTS:

Třinec 2-3 Moeller Pardubice (SO) - Pardubice finally get their 1st win of the new campaign. They tried their hardest to throw it away though after leading 2-0 going into the 3rd period with goals from Michal Tvrdík and Tomáš Blažek they allowed Třinec to get back into the game. The home side forced the game into OT and then into the shoot out decider. Libor Pivko netted the winning shoot out goal for Pardubice.

Sparta 4-3 Slavia - The Evil Sparta Praha emerge victorious after the first Prague derby of the 07/08 season. After trading a single goal each in the opening stanza. Sparta went on to have a strong second period where they netted three times for no reply. That laid the platform for their victory.

Mountfield 6-1 RI OKNA Zlín - Zlín were destroyed in the 1st period. They gave up three goals within the opening 10 minutes of the game. Starting Zlín goalie Igor Murín was then pulled from the game having faced only 7 shots. That's what happens when you try to deny the brilliance of Mr. Viktor Hübl.

Ústí nad Labem 4-3 Plzeň (SO) - Ústí also grabbed their 1st victory of the campaign. The new comers have found the going very tough indeed but former MHC Martín forward Rastislav Špirko was the hero for the night after netting the winner during the shoot-out.

GEUS OKNA Kladno 0-1 Liberec - Kladno's new name manages to sucks more than the Capitals sponosorship named does this season. Jan Plodek opened and completed the nights scoring after 6 minutes of the game. Milan Hnilička had a perfect night between the Liberec pipes turning away 35 shots to capture the shut out. The victory sends Liberec to the top of the league.

Znojmo 1-2 Vítkovice Steel - Boozed up goalie Marek Pinc had a great night for Vítkovice. The pint sized super stoper turned away 39 shots to steal the game for the Ostrava side.

Karlovy Vary 3-1 Litvínov - K.V (my pick to be shock troops) continued their good start to the season. After 4 games played the green, black and yellow ugly jersey boys find themselves up to 3rd place in the league. K.V's squad looks really strong this year, they have good combination of youth and experience and I think it will take them far.
