After two periods of play, Michigan had a one point ad- vantage, 3-2, and looked like they were ready to take on the Detroit Red Wings before the Czech defense stiffened in the final stanza and their offense put the victory on ice. The Czechs tied the score in the third period on a power play as Vaclav Sykora slipped the puck into the right side of the net past' Robbie Moore and a helpless Tom Lindskog who had lost his stick. Three and a half minutes la- ter, Moore fought off a fierce onslaught and had made what appeared a great save, only to watch the puck come off his body and dribble slowly into the net, for the go ahead goal. Milan Novy hit an empty net with five seconds left after Moore had come off the ice to give the Wolverines an extra offensive player, making the fi- nal tally 5-3. Novy turned in a hat trick with one goal in each period, and was named the first star of the game. Novy opened the scoring in the first period with a slap shot from 15 feet as the puck was i cleared from in front of the net hind the goal, and Kip pushed: following a brilliant save by it past Czech goalie Miroslav 4 goalie, Rick Palmer.
