The Skating Crisis continues! They didn’t give Vítkovice a goal in the pre-game Hokej.cz

Vítkovice took advantage of the home environment in the preliminaries of the 28th round of the Tipsport Extraliga, Lukáš Klimeš picked up a clean sheet against Mladá Boleslav, and Ostrava took an important step towards advancing to the playoffs after a 2:0 victory.

Two teams from the bottom of the table met and…

It really wasn’t a hockey delicacy. However, such a hard-fought victory can give the Vítkovice more confidence, as they have been improving recently: on the international stage, they qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions League and at home in the extra league they scored for the fifth time in a row (of which they won three times).

On the contrary, Mladá Boleslav still hasn’t found a way out of the crisis. After the arrival of coach Richard Krále, there was a slight optimism for a while, but…

Now the situation is critical again: Mladá Boleslav has not scored a single point for the sixth time in a row, taking only three points from the last nine games overall. So it remains last in the table and continues to lose six points to Kladno (which has three games to go!).

Skaters sink mainly offensively,

In Vítkovice, another big pain was revealed, namely the away duels: including Tuesday’s preliminary game, the Skaters have so far taken only eight points out of a possible 42 from the opponent’s stadiums.

Testimonials from coaches

Jiří Veber (Vítkovic coach): “We perceived the importance of the match, but it was not an ideal performance from our side. We are happy for the victory, which did not come easily. It was probably not a beauty hockey game for the spectators, but it doesn’t matter which way we got to those three points. They are very valuable to us. We were also supported by Lukáš Klimeš, who gave the team self-confidence.”

Václav Pletka (assistant coach of Mladá Boleslav): “I don’t like it. We didn’t play a bad game, but we don’t dare to take a point. We have to learn to play at 0-0, responsibly from the back. We tell ourselves we’ll wait for our chance, but we can’t hold it for sixty minutes. We are not in a situation to score six goals. We have to believe that if we play without suspensions, responsibly, disciplined, then the chance will come and we will take it. For now, every time we make a mistake, the opponent will punish us. It happened to us again. The goalkeeper held us, he caught a solo run, then we made two mistakes and it was 2-0.”
