Slovak Extraliga 2020-2021 (Zvolen wins championship)

[Theokritos]

However Extraliga might still not start on Friday because the new contract with refs hasn't been signed and the refs claim they won't take part in Friday's games with no contracts.

League has gone under way today, so I guess they came to an agreement with the referees?

Opening day results:

Poprad – Nitra 2-3
Detva –Liptovský Mikuláš 5-3
Michalovce – Slovan Bratislava 4-1

Update: Poprad has advanced to the finals. However, they're trailing Zvolen 0-3 in the finals now and need to win Game 4 today in order to stay alive.

Wow is the 3-0 comeback possible for Poprad now
I still don’t trust Poprad offense enough to carry them another 3 games.

You were right. HKm Zvolen went on to win Game 5 with the score of 3-2 and thus clinched the series and the Slovak championship.
