- O kladech a záporech elitní formace (9:37)
- Nedomanský věří Vejmelkovi (15:25)
- S Pastrňákem a Nečasem pro medaili (33:50)
Ambice českého týmu budou i letos vysoké, a to nejen kvůli účasti útočníků Bostonu a Colorada. Kromě Pastrňáka s Nečasem tvoří kostru kádru dalších dvanáct hráčů, kteří zažili loňskou zlatou Prahu. „Národ i český hokej se na tomto úspěchu vezou. Je vidět zájem, liga zvýšila průměr v návštěvnosti, týmy jsou kvalitnější,“ připomněl Nedomanský.
V aktuálním výběru vidí velkou konkurenci, ačkoli u některých jmen v extraligovém play off postrádal rozdílové atributy, které od lídrů očekává. „V týmu je ale vidět síla a důvěryhodnost osoby trenéra Rulíka,“ míní někdejší vynikající útočník a mistr světa z roku 1972.
Prapor mančaftu by měla nést první formace. Minimálně na začátku turnaje bude nastupovat ve složení David Pastrňák – Lukáš Sedlák – Roman Červenka. Poslední jmenovaný bude zároveň kapitánem reprezentace, stejně jako loni v Praze.
Elitní útok na první pohled budí respekt, alespoň co se jmen týče. Červenka s Pastrňákem jsou na sebe zvyklí z loňského šampionátu, Sedlák s kapitánem nároďáku zase pravidelně nastupoval v Pardubicích. Přesto Nedomanský upozornil na trable, které by proti lepším týmům mohly nastat.
Václav Nedomanský
Václav Nedomanský je mistr světa v hokeji z roku 1972 a nejlepší střelec v historii reprezentace. Po emigraci odehrál 421 zápasů v NHL, později byl skautem Los Angeles Kings, Nashville Predators a podílel se na vytvoření klubu Las Vegas Knights. Vedle Dominika Haška je jediným Čechem v Síni slávy NHL.
„Rychlost může být trošku problém tím, jak Červenka hraje v útočném pásmu zády k mantinelu, kdy se rychle otočí a čeká na spoluhráče. Když tam nebude místo, hodně záleží, jak Sedlák – kterého moc neznám – s Pastrňákem budou hrát. Na druhou stranu je výhoda, že Červenka a Pastrňák jsou schopní něco vymyslet. Záleží na finální nahrávce, která někdy u českých hráčů bývá problémem, protože nemají dost času, aby se na ní zkoncentrovali,“ tvrdí Nedomanský.
Otazník visí také nad brankáři. Čechy by turnajem měla provést dvojice Karel Vejmelka a Daniel Vladař. Nedomanský by sázel na jedničku Utahu. „Vejmelka se mi zdá jistější svým držením těla i pohybem v brance. I když poslední zápas na EHT se Švýcary prohrál, líbil se mi. Přesto jsou oba průměrní brankáři v NHL, ale s tím se nedá nic dělat. Nikdo jiný tam nemohl být,“ uvedl.
Loni byli Češi zlatí, kam to dotáhnou letos? „Nechci být neslušný, nebo někoho zklamat. Já si myslím, že s Pastrňákem a Nečasem skončíme třetí a bez nich čtvrtí. Medaile by ale měla být cílem,“ doplnil Nedomanský. Zároveň ale v pořadu dodal, že není dobrým tipérem.

Down 2-0, the Celtics head to New York with more questions than answers
Melissa Rohlin FOX Sports NBA Writer <!--> --> While in the middle of a slump in December and January, in which the Boston Celtics lost nearly as many games as they won, they urged patience. This was just the doldrums of a long season. The hangover of a championship. A blip. "I believe we'll peak at the right moment," Kristaps Porziņģis said Jan. 23 before the Celtics closed their season by winning 19 of their final 22 games, reassuring their doubters that they know how to turn it on when it counts.

Rodině ruského olympijského vítěze po zásahu granátem shořel dům u hranic s Ukrajinou
Útoky na civilisty na Ukrajině ze strany Rusů jsou přitom od začátku války každodenní realitou. S postupem doby ale došlo alespoň k částečné ochutnávce válečných hrůz i pro ruské občany v příhraničních oblastech. Na vlastní kůži je zažila i Bolšunovova rodina, respektive jeho rodiče, kterým po zásahu granátem shořel v dubnu dům v obci Podyvotje v Brjanské oblasti.„Úplně všechno bylo zničeno. Jak se s tím smířit? Postavili jsme to vlastníma rukama. Je to jako tříska, která se zaryla hodně hluboko,“ stěžoval si Alexandr Bolšunov senior v rozhovoru pro server championat.com s tím, že do svého rodného domu už se neodvážil přijet od loňského listopadu.„Potom už ne, začal tam hon na auta, cíleně je vyhledávají drony a útočí na ně. Domy hoří skoro každý den. Panuje tam naprostý chaos. Trpí nevinní lidé. Bojovat se má se sobě rovnými, ne s bezbrannými civilisty, kteří se nemají, jak bránit,“ posteskl si Bolšunov starší, aniž by přímo […]
