“My improvement went hand in hand with the rise of the entire team. In the opening four rounds of the extra league, we did not do well at all. Then we gradually started to rise as a team, and I also gradually went up. A hat-trick will definitely boost my confidence. But I know that scoring goals often follows a sinusoid. Sometimes I manage to score goals from almost everything, other times you can’t hit,” thirty-four-year-old Moses did not fall into euphoria after the successful encounter.
With three goals into the Liberec net, he doubled his previous scoring record. They do not hide that it took him a little longer to adapt to the Czech highest competition than he expected. “But I and the whole team remained calm and tried to work as best as possible. It paid off. “Compared to the beginning of the season, Komet has made considerable progress,” he is pleased.

Against Liberec, Moses scored twice on the power play. First, he reduced the numerical advantage to 1:2 and then equalized. “In my previous positions, I scored a lot of goals in power plays. I didn’t do well in Brno at first, but the coaches and teammates encouraged me to be patient. Both power play goals were scored after successful combinations. I have to pay tribute to my teammates for the great interplay,” he claimed.

The winner of Canadian scoring in the KHL in the 2014/15 season and a bronze medalist with the American team from the 2015 WC is convinced that Kometa will only go up. “It was important that we corrected the previous home failure with Vítkovice. We relaxed, so I believe we will continue to improve,” he wishes.
Brno assistant Jiří Otupalík praised Moses’ shooting awakening. “It finally occurred to him there. He must have had it in his head that he had fallen a bit short of expectations so far. It’s great that he did so well against Liberec. It will help him in the next extra-league duels,” he assumed.

However, he praised the entire team. “We are very happy about the turnaround. After an unsuccessful opening third, we started to skate more and took over the activity. We were able to use two power plays and equalize. Not even an unrecognized difference goal put us at 3:2. Right away we gave another one,” Otoupalík reveled.
He brought out enormous dedication, commitment and fighting spirit from his hockey players. “Goalkeeper Furch supported all this again with an excellent performance. However, we finished the match without the injured Ďalog and Kučerík with only four backs. This is the bane of our victory,” he regretted the further expansion of the marodka, which already includes Pospíšil, Kollár and Kratochvíl. “However, the boys worked really hard, the entire rotation lived up to the match,” said Otupalík.
