Especially the fourth one is a bit scary because the Canadians Kassian with Harper and Fin Lajunen can play very hard. On Sunday, it turned out that their game helps Sparta, moreover, this line took care of the two goals scored.
Sparta was incredibly strong and fast, especially in the second period. With an average 20-minute game, in which she scored four goals, she sent a message to all possible opponents in the playoffs, what it looks like when she switches on at one hundred percent. Sparta will really be a very strong team.

ADJUSTMENT: HC Verva Litvínov vs. HC Sparta Prague 3:8Video: Tipsport Extraliga / BPA
I was surprised by the performance of the Litvín elite line of the Kaš brothers with Hlava. There was a diametric difference between the first and second thirds. While in the first it was a concert, in the second they played without a puck and had a big problem getting chances.
In any case, hockey in Litvínov is picking up again, fans are returning to the Ivan Hlinka Winter Stadium and hope that it will be rebuilt. It looks like it might finally work out, preparations are underway to get everything right. As one of the classic extraleague teams, Litvínov and especially its fans would deserve a new hall.
Litvínov wants to finish in the top four and go straight to the quarterfinals of the playoffs. He has a lot of injured players, and if he didn’t have to play the preliminary round, he would help himself a lot. He could heal the injury during more than a week’s break.

ADJUSTMENT: HC Kometa Brno vs. HC Škoda Plzeň 5:1Video: Tipsport Extraliga / BPA
However, with the current absence of not only captain Sukeľ, who started on Friday after a four-month break and did not play again on Sunday, it looks more likely that fourth place will be celebrated by Brno.
Although Kometa has a difficult draw, playing in Vítkovice, Liberec and at home with Třinec, it seems to me that the loss of three points against Sparta in Litvín might be crucial. I don’t think that Liberec and České Budějovice would still be involved in the fight for the top four.
When we remember how disastrously the season started for Kometa (the resignation of coach Martinec and poor performances, when everyone wondered what was going on with the club), then came its incredible rise. For me, it is one of the most pleasant surprises of the entire extra league, how Kometa was able to shoot up to the position of the dark horse of the playoffs in a short time.
