The 23-year-old Rousek managed to collect ten Canadian points during 29 games in the Rochester Americans jersey last season, but he managed to surpass this feat this year. The Czech forward maintains a great average of one point per game, and after the eleventh round, the statistics show a balance of 4 goals and 7 assists.
He was also able to assert himself in Thursday’s game against the home side Syracuse Crunch, but the goal scored and the final point for the 3:1 result really hurt. The former hockey player of Sparta Prague was able to reach a free goal in the last minute of the opponent’s game without a goalkeeper and then slide it into the empty cage. But that moment was used by the shapely back Darren Raddysh, who brutally shot him down with all his vigor.
The Czech attacker did not expect the clash, he could not withstand the strong intervention and flew to the goalpost in pain. After this intervention, a smaller melee broke out, in which the Czech striker was defended by his teammates. Gemel Smith, the home team, was in the thick of it, so the referees had their hands full trying to calm down the angry hockey players.
Raddysh received a two-minute penalty for assault for the hard tackle, but the end game can be expected in the next few days, as there are speculations of up to a ten-game penalty for the former Tampa Bay player.
