“After a long time we met again, but I was not relieved at all. We are still struggling in the end and we don’t even create enough chances. We are disappointed to leave empty handed. However, it is difficult to play with Olomouc. They are disciplined, hardworking, tenacious,” claimed visiting coach David Bruk after the match.
The Roosters flew into the game, skated excellently, created pressure and also created chances. But when even the usually productive Macuh didn’t convert the biggest one, goalkeeper Habal, who started only for the fifth time in the current extra-league season, caught him in a weakened position, and the penalty came. In the 12th minute, they made a mistake in the passing game and Koffer, who found himself completely alone in front of Konrád, did not hesitate.

“The introduction was more lukewarm on our part, and that’s why we lost, even after a gross, rarely seen mistake,” knew Olomouc’s assistant coach Róbert Petrovicky.
In the second period, the home side turned the score around with two power play goals. First, after a great combination, Bambula scored, and then in the 40th minute, when Káňa had a double numerical advantage. The puck then ended up behind Habal once again, but because Macuh delivered it there with his hand, the goal was disallowed.

“The opponent played the two power plays excellently. Both goals came after I didn’t see where the shot came from. On the other hand, we also had power plays and we didn’t help ourselves. That’s difficult,” Energie goalkeeper Vladislav Habal shook his head.

In the final act, the defender Řezníček calmed down the home team with the third goal, and they then controlled the rest of the match until the end through almost two minutes of power play by the guests.

“We regret the loss, it was the team around us. Pardubice is coming now, then we’re going to Sparta. We have to grab something, but it’s going to be damn hard. We should have won, but our finish lately is pathetic,” said Habal, who kept his team afloat for a long time with great saves. “I’m not satisfied, I conceded three goals and we don’t have any points,” he rejected the praise.
“He gave a very solid performance,” said Bruk about his performance, and he also admitted that his team will have a tough time in the next matches. “We will not be favourites, but nowhere is it written that Pardubice and Sparta will win everything. We will try to succeed,” he added.
Petrovicky was extremely satisfied. “Today’s victory is extremely important. It was played for six points. We deserved them though. Only the conclusion could be controlled even better. We shouldn’t have allowed the game without a goalkeeper,” he pointed out.
