Šimon Kubíček Addresses Physical Confrontations on the Ice
Throughout the game, Libor Daňa engaged in several physical exchanges with BK Mladá Boleslav defenseman Šimon Kubíček, drawing a power play for the hosts. Late in the second period, referees reviewed a slashing incident on video after Kubíček struck Daňa’s hand, resulting in a two-minute minor penalty.
“It’s hockey. But he lies on the ice more than he has to. That could be improved. I sort of hinted at that to him. It happens,” Kubíček said, according to isport.cz. Commenting on the slashing play that sent Daňa to the bench, Kubíček added, “We were on the ice longer, he was coming off the bench, I wanted to hit his stick. Unfortunately, I probably broke his hand in the process.”
