The Czech hockey players have a clear goal to advance to the quarterfinals of the championship in Finland. By winning over Latvia, they have taken an important step towards fulfilling it, but now they must follow it against Norway. Will Boston striker David Pastrňák be the biggest Czech star again?

Of course, Duda was excited about the performance in the first period, which the Czech team won over Latvia by five goals. “Whoever saw the first twenty minutes saw the match, then he could go ironing,” he commented with exaggeration that the Czechs had not added another goal in the match. “We have to learn to play hockey for sixty minutes, not twenty,” he said.

The question remains whether the Czechs can repeat a similar performance on Saturday, or whether the fans should prepare for a more modest goal menu. “Forget double-digit results,” Duda warned. Finnish Finnish coach Kari Jalonen’s enthusiasts should be happy for any victory. “Even a blind squirrel will sometimes find a nut,” the expert said.
