“Tomáš is from the Czech Republic, he grew up here, so the fact that he came home is something special for him. Whether it’s our player or Nashville, you have to be happy for the boy who had such an opportunity. “Karlsson said. “It is special for us too. I have been lucky enough to play two games in Europe already. You never know if you will have another opportunity like this. We are all having as much fun as possible.”
The whole team is said to have enjoyed the atmosphere of the crowded O2 arena. “The fans have been fantastic. It is something special for every player when he can play in another country. I am from Europe, not directly from here, but I feel that Europe is very international. Petr Čech threw balls today. I grew up knowing that I was watching him, I was watching Czech football thanks to him, they had a very good team at the time, “stressed Karlsson.
San Jose lost to Nashville early in the NHL 1: 4. “It was neither bad nor good. The opponent did a great job of weakening. They are an established team and the players have been playing together for a while. We still have to get used to some things, maybe it will take a little bit of more to get used to the system. Overall, it wasn’t terrible of us, but at the same time we know we can play a lot better, “he stressed.
“We have to play more with the puck. We did well in the area, but we lost the pucks too easily and they pushed forward. This is the main thing we need to improve. We’re playing well in the midrange and we are doing it. well in the area, Karlsson said.
The men of coach David Quinn, who replaced Bob Boughner in the summer, only managed to overtake Finnish goalkeeper Juuse Saros once. “Saros is a good goalkeeper. If we shoot from distance, he will catch him. That’s why we have to push harder in front of him and force him to move more. I don’t think we tested him properly today,” added Karlsson.
