The incident occurred after 160 seconds of play, when the Latvian representative brutally hit Koffer in the central area with a shoulder in the head. Hradilo and Jeřábek were given an extra five minutes until the end of the match by the main referees for hitting the head and neck area.
Ujčík granted him a further break, so the defender, who has scored an assist in nine games this season, will miss duels in Olomouc, Vítkovice and at home with Sparta. He will not be allowed to return to the ice until October 30 in Litvínov.
“Freibergs attacked Koffer in the center circle of the playing area with a front tackle, who played the puck immediately before impact, and taking into account the minimum time interval between this play of the puck and the tackle made by the player, is It was possible to see him as a player who is allowed to attack in a permissible manner.Although Freibergs kept his hands close to his body at the time of the operation, it is clear that in the final phase he intensified his operation by moving his shoulder to achieve greater intensity of execution and hitting mainly the head or neck, in which case he was solely responsible for his intervention, did not commit a reckless threat to the opponent’s health, “Ujčík said after reviewing the video.
He then fined České Budějovice striker Martins Dzierkals ten percent of his monthly salary for a fall filmed in Sunday’s duel in Karlovy Vary.
