Třinec's hockey players won the opening match of the Czech Extraliga play-off preliminary round, beating HC Olomouc 1:0 on home ice. The goal came in the 31st minute and can be credited to forward Oscar Flynn, who thus broke his negative streak. Flynn had waited a full ten games for a goal, which had dropped him down to the fourth line in Třinec's lineup. teraz.sk ↗ sport.pravda.sk ↗
The goal itself was among the truly bizarre ones. According to reports, Flynn was expecting to pass, but instead the puck unexpectedly deflected off his stick into the net. The player himself is aware of how unusual the moment was and commented on his successful goal by saying that such a precise strike happens once in a million. Although it was only a single goal, it gave Třinec a 1:0 lead in the best-of-three series. isport.cz ↗ idnes.cz ↗
The opening duel showed that despite finishing fifth in the regular season, Třinec will take the lead in the play-offs along with mature play and discipline. Olomouc, as the twelfth-placed team, did not prove to be an easy opponent, confirming the difficulty of the play-off series. The second match is scheduled for Tuesday, March 10, again on Třinec's ice, where advancement to the quarterfinals will be decided. sport.cz - hokej ↗ sport.sk ↗
