I'm amazed he did as 'well' as he did, considering how awful he looked in games vs. Trinec. <br /><br />This club has long been saddled with mediocre talent that continues to get older and less effective. Guys like Rucinsky, Travnicek, Skuhrovec, and Kubincak are only going to get worse and worse, and they aren't being replaced by better players. Gerhat has also been quite disappointing as a prospect.<br /><br />Trinec - Injuries did a # on the team, but nothing could compensate for losing so much top end talent. Such is the life of a smaller-market club, as they often can't hold on to top players for a long time (Marek, Ruzicka, Kudrna). I'm more hopeful now that the roster has been revamped a bit, and hope Ruzicka is back home :)<br /><br />Kladno - I had them pegged to finish 2nd last, given that Patera is one of their top players, and he gets scored on more than Martin Volke.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16882752106662170837noreply@blogger.com
