Litvínov goalkeeper Denis Godla and Jan Schleiss from Vítkovice.
Godl’s strap broke on his mask, but his partner David Honzík, who provided his own to the Slovak national team, quickly offered him a helping hand. “It belongs to him. It was about two numbers bigger, which caused me problems. But I tried to focus on the game and not notice it. I changed it back in the middle of the Vítkovice power play, in which they probably didn’t even shoot at the goal, “said the 25-year-old mage, who does not remember a similar moment in his career.
Although he had a spare mask in his locker room, it is not spray-painted in Litvínov colors. He eventually borrowed part of his equipment from a colleague two years older and spent more than two minutes on the ice. “The repair took a little longer, the custodians had to run to the warehouse,” Godla explained.

Already in his own mask, he eliminated Marosz’s penalty shot in the third period, when he kicked the wheel brilliantly with concrete. “I tried to poke the puck, but he pulled it to the side and hit me in the leg,” commented one of the key moments of the match by the yellow-black goalkeeper.
