Třinec ice matches are cursed for hockey players in Mladá Boleslav. After Monday’s match, he has to deal with another controversial situation that decided the Steelworks’ close win. What was it about? During the decisive raid, Vladimír Svačina demonstrably returned with the puck, which is forbidden according to the Czech version of the rules.
The goal was not scored in the first three thirds or the subsequent extra time, so the winner had to decide on separate raids. The goal diet is not unique in Třinec’s matches, because in this year’s playoffs, the Steelmakers collected only three times in six matches, and only from the hockey sticks of Vítkovice players. Skaters have not yet found a recipe for Kacetla.
After five series of separate raids, the situation was balanced 1: 1, and so came the “sudden death”. Kousal did not change his attempt and Vladimír Svačina prepared for the middle zone. The 34-year-old attacker drove to Krochel, who started against him and tried to poke his puck with a hockey stick. The Třinec player, in an effort to avoid him, moved the disc backwards, surrounded the Boleslav goalkeeper and ended up in an empty goal. Goal recognized, decided. The guests no longer had a chance to make amends.
And what do the rules say about this situation? “The puck must remain moving towards the opponent’s goal line.“According to this interpretation, the goal should not have been recognized. The comments of disappointed guests after the match were in a similar spirit.
“Terribly dedicated performance, gradually balanced match. Unfortunately, he decided on one raid, which I am not convinced was regular. The rules say that the disc must not come back, it must go in the forward direction, he has returned. We didn’t like that. Unfortunately, that doesn’t change a thing,“The sad coach of Mladá Boleslav, Radim Rulík, told Mladá Boleslav after the match. The forward Tomáš Fořt had the same opinion.”A small thing decided again, one raid. It seemed that the puck was going backwards, what I know is, the rules are that the puck must not return, which I think happened. But I don’t want to evaluate it,“he returned to the controversial moment.
Of course, the coach of the domestic Steelmakers was not particularly saddened by the judges’ decision. “The referee awarded the goal, it gave us victory, I’m glad for that. The government did it very well, the referee acknowledged it, it’s the end of the match.” he refused to poke further.
After this win, the hockey players of Třinec took the lead in the series 2: 0 for matches.
