“I wouldn’t wish to be with Roman Polák. The guy would also be a bear, “said James Mirtle, a TSN reporter on Twitter.
” Poly is a great guy, we are so far away thanks to his work, “said Tomas Hertl. / p>
The season was kicked off by the Pole as a substitute for the Toronto Maple Leafs, a Canadian band doomed. And it ends in San Jose, a perfectly treading American man who is reaching out for the Stanley Cup.
So far, however, they are far from Californian. In the series with Pittsbugh they lose 0: 2 to the matches.
To golf with Schumacher?
In the summer of 2013, he responded to the questionnaire for the Yearbook.Louis Blues and Jaromír Jágr for his childhood idol, chose sushi as his favorite dish, and invited former cyclist Lance Armstrong, actor Denzel Washington and Michael Schumacher, the F1 driver, to play on a golf course.
years has changed. Well, Jagr and Washington remain celebrities. But Armstrong was able to fall into the unexpected depths, and Schumacher’s life suddenly broke down when skiing in the Alps.
And the Pole? He in June 2014 after ten years, during which he belonged to St. Louis Blues, experienced his first NHL exchange – to Toronto.
He continued to give out hits and block missiles, making the stars stay out of bounds for the stars. And that they have a picture from Ostrava (185 cm, 108 kg)! But he was hardly accustomed to the schendrians who infested the Maple Leafs.For defeatism and casualness. “I do not know what’s happening. We just play wrong. We’re there on a trip, “he lamented. Louis was used to another discipline. Last September he had a fight with a new coach, Babcock, in the preparatory camp. “I was a little disgusted and nervous about it. After all, it happened to me for the first time in my career, ”he told iDNES.cz. “But I understand it belongs to the NHL.I have to keep working on myself. before letting him go into the goal. “Our best weak guy, he’ll do anything, San Jose made a good move,” said Babcock in February, when Toronto threw out a thirty-year-old ass to California.
In 559 games in the NHL he scored 19 goals and hit 85 . Nor does it stand out in modern statistics that compare the number of shots on both sides of the player’s presence on the ice. Yet Brent Burns, the sharks defensive defender, praised him at the press conference: “It’s nice to have the guy in the lineup. You don’t want to meet him.It’s hard to play against him, which I remember from battles against St. Louis. ”
When the Pole joined the Blues in the Leafs, the audience applauded him, thanking him for earlier service. In May, however, he presented himself as a serious opponent in the Sharks in Scottrade Center. And with all the grief, San Jose helped eliminate his former friends. He even beat the Czech forward Dmitri Yashkin. Louis could see the Stanley Cup final after 46 years. The Pole has contributed to the fact that his wait is still extended. And now he can try the rare trophy series himself.
The Czech Republic represented at the Olympics in Vancouver or at the Championships in Switzerland and Belarus. He is also nominated for the September World Cup.Yet for less knowledgeable sports fans in his home country, he remains an “unknown private”. Now he is not worried about it. He suffered in Toronto. He hoped for deliverance. Became. “The best she could!”
