KOMENTÁŘ: Srpnová šeď. Hlinka Gretzky Cup v Brně za srdce nechytl

SPORTIVO
Article arrow_drop_down

Začněme sportovní stránkou. Nový realizační tým v čele s Janem Tomajkem zažil první velkou akci u české reprezentační osmnáctky a s výběrem se teprve seznamuje.

Aklimatizaci novému realizáku příliš neulehčil fakt, že k ruce tentokrát v dorazovém ročníku 2008 neměl žádné výrazné individuality, jako byl v posledních letech třeba hyperproduktivní Adam Benák. Hlavní eso Šimon Katolický navíc kvůli operaci slepého střeva absentovalo.

Tomajkovi svěřenci zaostávali vůči hlavním rivalům v boji o semifinále s Kanadou a Finskem nejen výškově, ale také v zakončení a ve hře speciálních týmů. To se promítlo do porážek 1:4 a 0:5, které odsoudily Česko místo bojů o medaile jen k nezáživnému zápasu o páté místo.

Český výběr srážela především chabá produktivita. I když se Tomajkovi svěřenci dokázali dostávat do výhodných pozic, ve finální fázi se jim nedařilo. Nejlepším střelcem týmu se tak stal se třemi trefami obránce Jiří Kamas, což není žádný rozený kanonýr.

Češi vlastně na turnaji do puntíku dokázali, že opravdu nepřivezli tým s výraznými individualitami. V paměti tak utkví možná jen působivé vystoupení teprve patnáctiletého beka Lukáše Kachlíře v utkání se Švýcarskem, který se na výhře 6:2 podílel dvěma góly a asistencí.

A taky výborný výkon nadějného gólmana Františka Poletína proti Kanadě, kdy dlouho držel v šachu budoucí draftové hvězdičky, i když nakonec nezabránil porážce 0:5.

Pozitivnější dojem zanechali obránci než útočníci, potěšil i fakt, že Češi si s přehledem poradili v roli favorita 6:2 se Švýcarskem a 5:2 se Slovenskem.

Výkony domácích ale jinak příliš nepodpořily zájem diváků o turnaj, který se poprvé odehrál v Brně. Pořadatelé přesunem chtějí prestižní mládežnickou akci pozvednout na vyšší úrovni, což se jim do jisté míry povedlo.

Vyšší úroveň měl turnaj z hlediska komfortu pro účastníky, přece jenom extraligová aréna Komety nabízí daleko větší pohodlí než stadion v menším okresním městě (byť na tyto poměry nadstandardní).

Pořadatelům se díky přesunu povedlo eliminovat časté obrázky z minulých ročníků v Břeclavi, kdy kvůli tropickým teplotám a nemoderní vzduchotechnice, kazily dojem ze hry mlžné opary na mantinelech.

Ani počtem diváků akce v největším moravském městě za Břeclaví nezaostala, když skupinové zápasy navštívilo průměrně 2386 diváků (kromě ustřeleného ročníku 2023 v Břeclavi způsobeného postupem českého týmu do finále), co se týče atmosféry ale má co dohánět.

Břeclav za roky svým turnajem žila, což se promítlo i v podpoře na tribuně. Na brněnských zápasech notně scházela systematická podpora kotle, v Břeclavi se o ní staral fanklub jinak podporující tamější hokejový klub, v Brně si zatím členy kotle hokejové Komety turnaj nezískal.

Otázkou je, do jaké míry s atmosférou zamávalo rozhodnutí pořadatelů, kteří kromě šlágru s Kanadou otevřeli ve Winning Group Aréně pouze dvě tribuny na sezení. Kolem dvou tisíc diváků na skupinové zápasy s Finskem a Švýcarskem se tak v takřka osmitisícové aréně ztrácelo. A divácký zájem by určitě podpořil postup českého týmu do bojů o medaile.

Do Brna se Hlinka Gretzky Cup má vrátit za dva roky (příští rok se pravděpodobně odehraje v Kanadě) a aby se v největším moravském městě dlouhodobě udržel, bylo by dobré, aby příště vykázal vyšší návštěvnost.

2025 Week 7 NFL score predictions, bets, odds, picks today: Expert reveals exact scores for all 15 matchups

Through six weeks of the NFL season, it's hard to find a team who doesn't have a serious question mark. Two weeks ago, we would've been raving about the undefeated Eagles and Bills. Now both teams have lost two straight games. How about Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, one of the preseason favorites? With Jackson having been out each of the last two weeks, Baltimore enters its bye week 1-5 and is in serious danger of missing the postseason. Even the three-time defending AFC champion Chiefs aren't immune. They sit 3-3 heading into a Week 7 home date with AFC rival Las Vegas, though Kansas City is the largest favorite of the week at -11.5.Which teams would you take today to make the Super Bowl? Before the contenders start to separate from the pretenders, unpredictability in the NFL will continue […]

NFL pass-rusher rankings ahead of Week 7

Aidan Hutchinson reclaims his No. 1 ranking: After a slow start to the season by his standards (two pressures), Hutchinson has been the league’s most productive pass rusher, generating 34 pressures and six sacks over the past five games. Warren Brinson impressed in his NFL debut: The Packers rookie logged an 80.6 PFF pass-rushing grade, the top mark among rookies, after generating two pressures and a 23.5% win rate in Green Bay's victory over the Bengals. Estimated Reading Time: 5 minutes We know that quarterback is the most important position on the field, but a great pass rush is the ultimate equalizer. Pressure disrupts timing, rhythm and accuracy, something only the elite quarterbacks can consistently overcome. Last season, 13 of the top 15 teams in PFF pass-rush grade had a winning record. In 2023, 15 of the top 16 teams […]
