Well, Mrs. Sykora, tonight Wide Asleep's and Budvar's Sparta Prague lost to --of all clubs -- Slavia Prague in the semifinal (it will be Zlin vs Slavia in the final), so you're are not the only one to have a bad time. Don't know whether this is any comfort.  |

I guess Mrs. Sykora has some positive news. We are anxiously awaiting the report from the heartland of Russia.  |

Update:
Third ranked Avangard Omsk swept second ranked Lada Togliatti in the best-of-five semi-final by winning game 3 at home 1-0. The Lada team forfeited the game with three minutes remaining by leaving the ice. Avangard, who now have won three playoff games by 1-0, is in the final and will play either Metallurg Magnitogorsk or AK Bars Kazan. AK Bars won game 3 on Monday, 3-2 in overtime after defenseman Dimitri Erofeev scored winner at 7.49, but Metallurg still leads series 2-1.
Champion Lokomotiv ran out of steam already in the best-of-five quarter-finals, losing three straight to 2nd ranked Lada Togliatti.

There's a very difficult situation about that Lada demarsh...
Lad asked to check Sergei Krovokrasov's stick...but he first changed that stick for another and referee gave Lada a penalty....

Some Ak Bars' news:
Vladimir Vujtek will be our coach one more season
Jan Benda signed a contract with Khimik Voskresensk
Probably Radek Duda and Robert Kantor will leave Ak Bars
And we have signed Jaroslav Hlinka from Kloten !!!

Hlinka is a really good player, at least he was when he played in Sparta, and I imagine he still is.
I have read some interviews with Radek Duda since he got back and he is saying really bad things about the Russian hockey players and Russian people in General. He has done that every time he leaves a team, with one exception. He tore into Canadians after coming back from the WHL to Sparta, tore into Sparta when he went to Plzen, tore into Plzen when he went to Slavia last year and now Kazan. He won a title with Slavia, so maybe that is why he did not insult them...

Well, I saw that interview. My friend and I cooperate together and translated it from Czech into English, then into Russian and we're going to post it at our web-site.
Actually, I think that he was right in some way. Because players didn't want to do their job in the semi-finals and especially in first two games.

Avangard 2004 champions after a penalty shoot-out in the last game of the final series.
Avangard lost the first two games of the five-games-series away to Metallurg Magnitogorsk. Then, at their home ground, Avangard could tie the series with two wins, and a fifth decisive game was today played in Magnitogorsk.
Maksim Sokolov was Avangard’s big hero, in all the playoffs as well as in the final game. The score was still 0-0 after regular time and ten minutes overtime and the game had to be decided through a penalty shoot-out according to Russian rules.
Sokolov saved four of Metallurg’s five penalty shots, while Metallurg’s goalie Norm Maracle was beaten twice. Subbotin and Bednar scored for Avangard and Vaic scored Metallurg’s only goal.
Defence was Avangard’s strongest weapon in the playoffs. Only eleven goals were allowed in as many games.
