The steel players came out empty-handed in Hradec Králové, they fell for the second time in a row in the final series, and from a luxurious 3:0 lead to the matches, it is suddenly only 3:2. However, experienced striker Andrej Nestrašil remains positive.
“If someone had told us before the series that after five games we would lead 3:2 and go home in the sixth, we would certainly have accepted it. We still have one match point available. We will prepare for the next match and we want to decide at home. We have to play what we did before, i.e. responsibly with a good defense,” said the 32-year-old forward after the 0:3 defeat.

His team still had enough time, but Hradec Králové played a great game and also withstood a great onslaught from Třinec in the third period. “At 2:0, they had nowhere to run and controlled the game. Much like us when we lead. It then visually looks like your opponent is pushing you. Now it was the other way around,” says Nestrasil.

According to the striker with national team experience, the decision was made in the area in front of the goal. “Overall, matches are decided here. Maybe we weren’t there before and we didn’t get as many pucks. It’s probably one of the things we should work on and do better,” he admits.
“If someone had told us before the series that after five games we would lead 3:2 and go home in the sixth, we would have taken it.”

We have experienced players who have already done something. We put it behind us and move on.”
According to him, people unnecessarily underestimate Hradec Králové. “We know that they are not in the final by chance. Although we were leading 3-0, how many times could the development have been completely different. It seems to me that when we beat Sparta and Pardubice, the surrounding area feels that they are an easy opponent for us. He underestimates them enough. “It’s not for nothing that they won 18 of the last 21 games of the regular season, beat the excellent Liberec and also got past second-placed Vítkovice,” emphasizes Nestrašil.
In the TV broadcast, Robert Záruba paused loudly about his declining workload, wondering if there were any health problems involved. “I can calm Robert down, I’m fine,” she smiles. “We don’t miss anyone and the playoffs are long, so we shoot more four lines. I’m healthy, I wouldn’t look for anything behind it,” he concludes
