“We handed over the points to our opponents. We literally presented them to the people of Olomouc, “after the 2: 3 loss, Brno’s really angry coach Jiří Kalous whimpered. He wonders in vain about what happened to his team in the last twenty minutes. “We had to learn from it,” he planned immediately.
He claims that he cannot deny his players a lack of militancy. “They struggled to death. But then came a big short circuit, which is a huge pity. We are still facing a tough fight for the preliminary round, “Kalous realizes, who lost an experienced bek Gulaši due to a broken ankle in the match with Pilsen.

The Twelfth Comet has a four-point lead over the thirteenth non-progressive rung. In the remaining duels of the basic part of the extra league, he still plays in Liberec, at home with Kladno and again with Olomouc on its ice.
Hanáci skipped Brňany by one point in the table. “It simply came to our notice then. When we started to attack the home team in the last third, they made mistakes in the passing. They played the second match in two days, so they may be running out of energy, “thinks striker Jakub Navrátil, who contributed two goals to the Olomouc turnover. In the elite competition, he succeeded for the first time in his career.
He had a chance in the previous course of the encounter. “It simply came to my notice then. On the second break, I gave the custodian gloves in the cabin and told him to let them dry in the toilet, for example. I have no idea what he did to them, but in the last third I was aiming exactly, “smiles 22-year-old Navrátil.
Olomouc coach Jan Tomajek is doing well. “It simply came to our notice then. In the second period, we also wasted powerlifting. That’s mainly why we lost. But then the boys took it and we were clearly better in the rest of the match. Our players deserve a big thank you. It probably helped us that the people of Brno had a previous encounter with Pilsen at their feet, “he says.
