From Pouzar to Nosco. Top 10 Czech performances in the Stanley Cup final

It’s not in vain that the real heroes appear in the battles of the Stanley Cup. Especially in the final series, when the season lasts for the ninth month and the players are exhausted and bruised, every more significant action is worth it.

Although not usually raised to respect for the traditional cup, .

MF DNES and iDNES.cz have compiled a list of ten notable achievements in which Hašek, Jágr or Holík stepped in.

May 2000

The Dallas trophy defenders made bad dreams in Match 1.Esa Mike Modano (-3), Brett Hull (-3) and Sergei Zubov (-4) were disgraced, which was largely due to “A Line”.

By the balance of 2 + 2, the National Productivity Record has been established so far, Jason Arnott copied it, Patrick Elias made three wonderful assists.

After the second Sicorian hit, the defeated goalie Ed Belfour shuffled from the ice in a 1: 6 position, and the famous sovereign did not take off the mask as if he was ashamed.

Usually he had a smooth shaved face, but he and many of the Hurricanes team members were overgrown like a robber.He let his aching hip be injected. He could almost rest on fatigue.

Then in the seventh clash with Edmonton, Jarosław Spacer eliminated the hold and Kaberle, after eight seconds of power play, raised the distance to 2-0.

With the final result of 3: 1, the member of the Kladno Clan of Defenders became the first and still the only Czech author of the winning goal of the entire Stanley Cup.

At half past two at night, John McKehr, the Edmonton coach, decided to take a risk, and in the third extension of the opening match in Boston, he sent a wing with 85 on the jersey.At 2: 2, he was afraid for a long time that Klima would be defeated by some of his frivolity.

The Czech gunsmith himself remembered that he had been a viewer since the tenth evening. Then, on the back of Jari Kurri’s flip, he fired off the ice and ended the engagement at 115: 13, which is still the longest finale in history. And he pushed the Oilers to the triumph.

Jaromir Jagr, Pittsburgh:

No Czech has scored in the most watched series in the NHL as amazingly as he did.

V 56.the minute of the first finale against Chicago, sputtered the hall called the Igloo Solo over four trunks and a bekhend ending that surprised the aforementioned Belfor.

Patrik Elias, New Jersey: June 10, 2000 friend Sýkora lay in the hospital where he took him after a brutal hit from Deriana Hatcher’s ass.With the same hulk, Elijah went to the corner of the ice rink in the second sixth run in Dallas.

And just around him, he sent a backpack to Arnott, who surpassed Belfor. End! Devils found themselves in the seventh sky.

Tomas Nosek, Vegas: May 28, 2018

Welcome to celebrity Tomas. The Fourth Warrior Warrior declared the first cousin star against Washington. A little-known fellow has scored two goals in a single final match.He missed Shea Theodora’s passport and shifted the score to 5: 4.

At the end, he blocked Alex Ovechkin’s bomb, then cleaned the disk into the empty Capitals goal. He lived to see the royal reward for their patience and hard work, through which he earned a job in the NHL.

Petr Sykora, Pittsburgh: June 2, 2008

None of Czechs in direct battle for the cup nenasbíral more starts (30 ) and goals (8) than the wren Sýkora. That’s why it’s the second time in the ranking. This time for a power surge from 109: 57 to prolong the series with Detroit.But after the next sixth part, Red Wings celebrated.

, Detroit: June 13, 2002

Once the golfer Jeff O’Neill has shot his unbeatable after 166 minutes and three seconds. The second longest line of all time ran from 3rd to 5th between Detroit and Carolina. Only Frank McCool did not score a goal in 1945 (188: 35).

Jaroslav Pouzar, Edmonton: 12.NY Islanders 1: 6, a veteran from Europe in the cab said a word and spoke to unruly fellow players in the soul:

“Gentlemen, I’m thirty-three and I’ve come to win the Stanley Cup. We can not do that. We must not play each other. We have to act as a team. It does not matter who is going to score. ”

The talk probably took off, because Oilers managed the next three games (7: 2, 7: 2, 5: 2) and first shuffled with the  10. Robert Holik, New Jersey: While Devils fans loved “Crash Line,” the others disliked it.Her center in the third Detroit duel (5: 2) blinked with a 1 + 1 balance. Holik, Randy McKay and Mike Peluso as a bulldozer have crushed the skilled rivals Paul Coffey, Steve Yzerman or Sergei Fjodorov. However, Holik also had a puck. New Jersey and his credit to Detroit flushed 4-0.
