After Filip Zadina’s 2-goal performance for HC Ocelari Trinec today, both iDnes, iSport and Ocelari Trinec’s website spoke with Zadina, and Ocelari’s Martin Stebel’s conversation with Zadina provides the best text. What follows is roughly translated from Czech:
Filip Zadina: We do our best to win!
They entered the season at number one! The Steelmakers also took a valuable win in Liberec, and have registered fourteen out of fifteen possible points in five games. FILIP ZADINA is having an equally successful start to the Trinec loan, and he has scored in all three games so far. “We have an excellent team, quality goaltenders, everything works for us,” says the shooter, looking forward.
At the same time, after the first period, it did not look very promising for the Steelmakers. They collected at the last minute and only showed their true potential during the second period: “In the first period we were just starting, we had some heavy legs, the game was not very successful. In the locker room we said what we should improve, we did certain things. We entered the second period with a clear head, and showed what kind of team we have and it started to turn for us slowly, this was the type of game I love, it was intense, I would like to win like this all the time, but sometimes it doesn’t work out. Win maximum. “
Zadina’s equalizing goal was preceded by hints of the home team’s chances during the guests’ 5-on-3: “Liberec has fast skaters, they’re hard to defend. There was our inaccurate passes and they went to our zone. Fortunately Thanks to God, we scored the first goal,” smiles the Czech first-round draft pick from NHL draft in 2018.
Also, regarding his second goal, which turned out to be a difference-maker, was a bit unconventional: “That’s right. It was a real coincidence. I turned around, slapped myself and Kvac somehow failed [to stop it] there. To tell you the truth, I don’t even know how [it went in]. The main thing is that it went into the net, “he describes the Trinec 2-1 goal, and overall his fourth goal of the year.
According to the original mutual loan agreement, the stellar young man should work under coach Javorovy until about mid-November. So does he have any idea when he will go to the United States for an NHL training camp?
“I really don’t know yet. I’m waiting to see what will happen in America after the presidential election. I’d like to be here as much as possible to help the team, and then join the Red Wings. But now I really have Trinec in my head.”
