Brno with Furch. Holiday shooters hit. When will the marodi return?
Although the leaves fell from the trees a long time ago, autumn has returned to Brno. The hockey one. This is exactly how Kometa was winning in October, when it last won a series of three triumphs in a row. Great goalkeeper (this time Dominik Furch) and power play goals (all three). “Dominik helped us, he closed it. It was an excellent fightback,” said defender Radek Kučerík, who ended his wait for his first goal of the season in a 3-0 win over Liberec.
Extraordinary finishers kept the Comet on a winning streak. “Nothing against them, but they are no shooters,” assistant Jaroslav Modrý smiled at the goals of Kučerík, Kim Strömberg and Marek Ďaloga. Two defenders scored for the first time in different, the Finnish center after fifteen deaf games. “It’s nice that the boys are rewarded like that. They are better in the details,” Modrý mused.
All three acted as excellent snipers in power play chances. Kučerík hit with a perfect swing, Strömberg with a quick backhand at the goal area and Ďaloga at the very end of a precise shot from the circle. “From the backs, only Ďal and I were waiting for a goal. We have already blown it and deleted it,” said representative Kučerík, whose importance due to a long-term injury Tomáš Kundrátek sixth.
Is Comet finally in form? Martinc and Modrý’s ensemble has dug itself out of a difficult crisis. He managed a key game with České Budějovice, Kladno and overpowered the White Tigers as well. Unlike the opponent, they completely messed up the power plays, they even blocked more than a minute and a half long five-on-three. “The even match was decided by our impotence in the power play. Especially the double one was a big problem. We failed miserably. The opponent wanted more in her, he was more prepared,” Liberec coach Patrik Augusta observed from the substitutes’ bench.
The valiantly defending Flek et al. they dropped the puck four times and poisoned North Bohemia at the end of the second period. “We defended the weakening well,” liked Kučeřík, who squatted together with Rhett Holland on the penalty spot at a critical moment. From there he watched how well his parties did in defending. “A decisive moment, excellent work from the boys. Great! That’s where the match broke,” he said.
During the final thanksgiving with the fans, even the descendants of the players, the hero, were on the ice Furch he held both his sons in his arms. Good mood and mild optimism for the rest of the season returned to “Rondo”. Under the drill of the former excellent fullback Modrý, the team has tidied up in the defensive zone, they don’t allow chances so easily. “We had meetings about it. We transfer it to training and to matches. In this it starts to rise and look. We block shots, which is about the personal will to go there and want to help,” praised the author of the winning goal. “It took a while for the players to understand what we wanted to do. But those guys can play hockey. They were in some kind of spasm before. And when hard work isn’t rewarded, you stop believing in yourself. We have shown some things and it is starting to work. It is more pleasant to work in such an environment,” said Modrý.
Pucks that fly through the goal are usually seen and covered by the goalkeeper. Furch’s performance against Liberec was flawless. “He’s on a roll now,” pointed out Modrý. “I feel completely different about the team when he’s in front of me. With this super performance, he asked for another start,” he admitted. So on Friday against Třinec again with Furch…
The health condition of the trio is currently the biggest concern for the winner Zaťovič Kundrátek, Goulash . “I’m not a doctor, but it looks like a job. It’s a team sport and it’s a chance for another boy to show what he can do,” said Modrý, who had to put together new defensive pairs and attacking trios with his colleague Martinec.
The second power play started to click, which was refreshed by the productive element Kristián Pospíšil. “Competition is wonderful. That’s the power then. Let the boys fight for ice time. That’s beautiful,” urged the second Brno coach, who liked the commitment of all the players. “The whole team fought, worked. We went for victory,” he summed up the third winning game in a row.
