DIRECTLY FROM BRATISLAVA | He put a club cap on his helmet and caught pucks the same way he did at Rondo in Brno or Olomouc on Wednesday. Except he had blue skies above his head and transparent railings around him. Dominik Furcz (32) was sweating during an hour-long training session at the Tehelné Poli stadium in Bratislava ahead of Friday’s Extraliga clash with Třinec. “The conditions are different than in the hall, but I really like it,” said the Comet goalkeeper, a participant in the Kaufland Winter Classic 2023 special fight.
When he walked out onto the field, where they usually play football, in his uniform, he said to himself: “Very nice.” With a hat on his head, Dominic Furch fit perfectly into the scenery. “I’ve seen guys do that all the time,” he said, based on footage of mostly similar NHL games. However, he will probably get by without it on Friday night against the Steelers. “Now I took it just for fun, for the atmosphere. It’s not so cold now that I need a cap,” explained the Brno goalkeeper, who is clearly number one in Čialak’s absence.
Describe what came to your mind when you entered the Tehelné Pole play area.
“I really like the way it’s done. But this is my first time playing in such a match, so I have nothing to compare with.”
Captain Martin Zatowicz says goalkeepers will have a particularly hard time in the “outdoors”. Did the first workout confirm that for you?
“Of course, the conditions are a little different than in the gym. It is played in the evening so that the sun does not shine. Let’s see how the lanterns work and if they attach anything else to the railings. We got used to the fact that they are white, advertising here and there. When I saw in some frames that they were transparent, I was afraid of this. But in training it was not so bad. Some things are just different from the classic match. For example, the distance between the stands and the ice. It will be the same for both goalkeepers.”
What was the ice like?
“It’s snowing a lot. It’s warmer. Some guys got sunscreen under their eyes. I’ll ask them how they liked it. But I don’t think it will be needed in the match.”
Due to circumstances, the fight will be of an exhibition ture, but, as usual, there will be three points in the table. Can a person become aware of this and fully concentrate?
“In particular, we are very concerned about glasses. We have to switch to 100%. Especially if we perform well and score points. If we lose, you say to yourself: okay, I played away. But the memory is not pleasant.
