Mueller got into a cross with the referees in Monday’s third duel of the preliminary round with Liberec (4: 2). “He protested theatrically against the sentence, refused to go to the penalty bench and continued to protest with the blows of sticks into the protective glass,” Ujčík described the actions of the American attacker in a press release.

Mueller even finished on the penalty bench three times in the mentioned match and earned an additional one-match distance by chopping forward Jan Šír. He missed the Comet in Tuesday’s fourth duel, in which the Brno team equalized the series to 2: 2. On Thursday, however, after a 1: 6 defeat in Liberec, the season ended for Kometa.

Canadian Dotchin will pay for the incident from the February duel of the 56th round of the basic part with Pardubice (3: 1). He received a two-minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct after a collected goal. The disciplinary commission evaluated his actions as “inadmissible shouting and verbal outbursts to the referees.”
