Hockey Sparta: Třinec can be bothered by dreaded shooters today
203 goals in the basic part of the Tipsport extra league, another 33 hits in the quarterfinals and six extra league playoffs. It’s no secret that Sparta is decorated with the best attack in the Czech Republic. And the fans are well aware that in the final series, this offensive is confronted with the almost impenetrable defense of Třinec.
Three goals scored from two matches are not a dazzling business card, on the other hand – it’s enough. After an initial 1: 4 defeat, Sparta avoided another collapse in the second match she did exactly what she needed.
In the 34th minute, he already enjoyed a two-goal lead and the Třinec intervention a minute and a half before the end only corrected the score to the final 2: 1 from the point of view of the Prague S.
It is certainly important for the ex-coach of the Czech team at the World Hockey World Championships, Josef Jandač, that after the four-match fast he finally finally Michal Řepík scored. In addition to the opening goal, he also played Tomáš Pavelka’s goal on Tuesday, and the performance can inspire others who are shaking in depth in the finals.
If players like David Tomášek (6 goals in the playoffs), Filip Chlapík (5) or Erik Thorell (4) stand on the ice in one jersey, the goal referees must be constantly on the lookout – the red light may come on at each substitution. AGAINST wide Spartan cadre Miroslav Forman and Vladimír Sobotka with Roman Horák with experience from the overseas NHL are also present.
They are all waiting for their first goal in the final of the 2022 extra league, and sooner or later one of them must succeed. Or maybe some? Why not today, in front of crowded home stands. The O2 Arena, which you will visit in the NHL in Prague in October, is hosting the extra league finals for the first time in six years.
The desire to succeed will be enormous. And in our opinion it will be Filip Chlapíkwho extinguishes the goal drought today with a precise hit. The 24-year-old forward and author of the 31st from the basic part of the Tipsport extra league has fired five times in the final between the three bars in Třinec. Thanks to his predation and strong place in power play form, I believe that today one of his attempts will cross the goal line.
Today, the hockey players of Třinec are lying on Kacetle again, in the final of 2022 they already have 50 hits
It is possible that the goalkeeper will win the prize for the most useful Stanley Cup player. Our hockey players hung gold medals from Nagano on their necks mainly thanks to Dominik Hašek. And if Třinec reaches the third extra-league title in a row, he will contribute a lot to that goalkeeper Ondřej Kacetl.
Even the best defensive tactics of the mountains, if the masked man does not catch confidently. Throughout the playoffs and as expected today, Třinec can be at ease, holding the 31-year-old goalkeeper in the playoffs 95.98% success rate, collects an average of 0.92 goals per game and has already kept a clean sheet three times. In the final, he caught 50 of 53 Spartan missiles.
Many attempts did not even reach Kacetl, the defensive ramparts in front of him in the first two matches blocked 41 shots. The Spartans blocked “only” 22 attempts, half the number.

This number means the game of Třinec perhaps even better than success of special formations, even in this respect, the Steelmakers have the upper hand. In the final, Třinec turned two of the six powerlifters (33.3% success rate) and defended himself four of the five numerical disadvantages (80%). We haven’t seen Tref in our own weakening in the final yet, unlike the extra league play-off.
The steelmakers were the first to collect the first matches in both matches, and coach Václav Varaďa is well aware of them. The club’s website quotes her: “Why doesn’t it work from the beginning? If I had a manual for it, I would let you read it. We will definitely look at it and discuss what we should improve on.“
Bookmakers bookmakers today slightly Sparta. However, it is worth noting that Třinec can play at home on the narrow ice rink of the O2 Arena. In the basic part in Prague, Oceláři always won by three goals (8: 5 and 7: 4) and their last loss in the capital dates back to last February. If Třinec extends this series today, no one should be surprised. Have fun watching the third final, online live stream broadcasts TV Tipsport free HERE.
