Na ledě na sobě nedal nic znát. Na pondělní výhře 3:0 nad Spojenými státy se podílel asistencí. Po utkání však opožděný přílet novinářům vysvětloval. „Moje žena Jessica byla podruhé těhotná, ale o dítě jsme bohužel přišli. Minulý týden pro nás po emoční stránce nebyl snadný,“ přiznal 28letý útočník.
V pondělí šla manželka na rutinní kontrolu k lékaři, ale vyskytly se problémy. Fiala měl do Herningu odletět o den později, ale kvůli komplikacím se rozhodl zůstat v Los Angeles po boku manželky. Smutnou zprávu se pár dozvěděl v pátek, kdy Švýcaři zahajovali mistrovství světa proti Čechům.
MS v hokeji 2025
88. ročník mistrovství světa v hokeji je na programu v termínu od 9. do 25. května 2025. Hostí jej Švédsko a Dánsko, konkrétně města Stockholm a Herning.
I přes tíživou rodinnou situaci však manželka Fialův start na šampionátu podporovala. Hvězda Švýcarů se tak rozhodla reprezentovat, ačkoli omluvenku by v takové chvíli pochopil snad každý člověk. „Jsem jí nesmírně vděčný za to, jak mě podporuje i přesto, co nás potkalo. Je to nejlepší žena na světě,“ citoval Fialu server Blick.
A tak v pondělí v Herningu Jessica Fialová nechyběla v hledišti s roční dcerkou Masie-Mae, která se mimochodem narodila páru loni během šampionátu v Praze, aby svého muže podpořila.
„Život zkrátka musí pokračovat. Kevin ukázal svou oddanost národnímu týmu. Nechápu, jak zvládl do turnaje takhle naskočit. Za poslední dva týdny měl jeden trénink a odehraje takový zápas,“ klaněl se Fialovu výkonu proti USA trenér Patrick Fischer.

Boxing schedule for 2025: Caleb Plant, Jermall Charlo and Keyshawn Davis in action to kick off summer
Getty Images With all the meaningful action of the first four months of the year complete, boxing fans are now looking toward the spring and the continually developing schedule while also looking back at some big fights that have already gone down.The first weekend in May was loaded with familiar names. A May 2 tripleheader featuring major names Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney and Teofimo Lopez Jr. ended in a shocking upset when Garcia lost a unanimous decision to Rolando Romero. Garcia vs. Romero and Haney vs. Jose Ramirez were disappointing in their complete lack of action, but they were somehow one-upped the next night when Saul "Canelo" Alvarez defeated William Scull to become undisputed super middleweight champion for a second time. Alvarez vs. Scull set CompuBox records for the lowest punch output in the history of the punch-tracking organization.One night after […]
NBA DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy basketball picks for Tuesday, May 13 include Pascal Siakam
Imagn Images Many an NBA DFS strategy on Tuesday will hinge upon the availability of Donovan Mitchell (ankle), who is a game-time decision after sitting out the second half of Cleveland's Game 4 loss. With or without him on the court, Tyrese Haliburton and the Pacers will look to stamp their tickets to a second straight Eastern Conference Finals tonight. Following that game, we'll see MVP frontrunners Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic face off again. But with each player underperforming, relative to their lofty standards, should you bypass their high NBA DFS price tags when constructing Tuesday NBA DFS lineups?Regardless of which stars your use as daily Fantasy basketball picks, you'll need more economical options to complement them in NBA daily Fantasy lineups.

Fantasy Baseball: Time is right to buy low on several struggling Braves stars
Atlanta dealt with numerous injuries and several players underperforming last season, but the Braves have seen anything but regression so far in 2025. The team is a disappointing 20-21 and has a roster filled with players who’ve failed expectations, presenting possible buy-low opportunities for fantasy baseball managers. The Braves' bad luck is likely to change at some point.Note: Each player's preseason ADP is listed below along with their current season-long Yahoo Fantasy ranking.Matt Olson, 1B: ADP = 25 vs. No. 204 fantasy rank Olson hit 25 fewer homers last season compared to 2023, and he’s disappointing fantasy managers yet again. Olson may not return to 50+ home runs, but he’s hitting far better than his fantasy rank suggests. Olson’s average exit velocity, Barrel%, BB% and expected wOBA are all career highs. The difference between his wOBA and xwOBA is one […]
