Czech Extraliga: Dangerous/Questionable Hits

[@Dodger24]

5:52 That guy in white was a class act after that hit

[@matejbeloch8295]

It is Jerabek

[@GS300Aaron]

I cant believe how many intentinal headshots there are. So many hits aimed for the head and also leaving their feet before a hit. Brutal stuff

[@kadensharpin2156]

It looks like the minor hockey league i play in

[@RaccoonXD]

Amazing. I'm a big fan of the czech Tipsport Extraliga and I'm glad to see you made a video about it!

[@GoodMusicFanxD]

A video from czech league? What a pleasant surprise, since I live and work here... thx for all the uploads and much love

[@Mopettaja]

The dude on the clip in 6:00 has my respect in a sense that he actually was really worried for the guy he hit

[@trollinbastard8968]

Aki Kirvesmäki he doesn’t. He’s doing it to avoid a big penalty, just like in football in Europe. Lots of players urge to “help” the other that they faulted so they don’t get a yellow or red card.

[@jakehaubschueh1872]

If he was itching, he wouldn't have made a hit like that.

[@fifa2446]

That guy was part of the Capitals' team back in 2018, he played in the first 2 playoff games against Columbus, his name is Jakub Jerabek.

[@jakehaubschueh1872]

Some european hockey is always good to watch!

[@wimex9062]

Please do not think of Extraliga as a dirty league. I think it is actually quite clean, at least much cleaner than it used to be.

[@Dodger24]

If you're Czech and dont mind me asking, what happened during that last clip?

[@patriksindar8879]

@@Dodger24 he couldn't breath for a while

[@Kuki_]

@@Dodger24 Basically the blue player (M. Dočekal) from Kometa Brno couldn't breathe properly after the hit, they tried to sort of "kick-start" his lungs back up - the part when they are shaking him around - but even after that it must have been such a shock that he collapsed.

[@marcuskuhnert2105]

The advertising on the ice in Europe is just too much

[@Kuki_]

agree, it's honestly quite distracting, but hey...I guess to the owners it's just a business, so just slap that brand logo on there!

[@Gil-galad12]

Because in Europe broadcasting rights dont bring lot of money to clubs. They depend on money from sold tickets and sponsors.

[@jackoblllllllll]

@@Kuki_ I dont even notice it anymore, but yeah, it looks like shit

[@bigbraintime9702]

Today in Czech league it is not that bad... these scenes are like 6 years old

[@luqasholz]

Thank you for this video. O am from czech republic and no one from other states do videos about czech hockey atd.

[@19DannyBoy65]

In the clip at 2:44 my attention was so preoccupied by the guy trying to get a piggyback ride that I missed the actual dirty hit and had to rewatch it

[@tadeasfridrich4979]

yeah, every european league looks like this :D

[@jok3r906]

I do think that's the team's sponsors and the teams actually get extra money for player contracts. I am probably wrong

[@braydan1917]

Haha yeah. Its pretty cool tho

[@jackoblllllllll]

sadly true

[@jackoblllllllll]

@@jok3r906 many teams have to look like that to survive financially, they dont have the nhl kinda money

Damn, 13:20 I hope that guy ended up being okay.

[@1dbbs]

Thanks for this video. Iam from Czech and this is super compilation.

[@paytondegenhardt5278]

@4:14 I believe thats Ryan Hollweg. I watched him come up in Junior with the Medicine Hat Tigers. Never changed his game lol

[@paytondegenhardt5278]

Fans always called him Captain Crunch when he played here lol

[@Hejtman_1]

I read about him a few days ago. He is back in US and works as a firefighter.

[@nuclear_marshmallow883]

hey, just wanted to thank u for the vid! i was wondering- how did you come across this league/what inspired you to make a video about it? im quite familiar with our hockey leagues bs, so ill attempt to explain some things- i think the why behind what you see in the video is both bad reffing regarding headshots and cheapshots when needed the most & that a certain level of dirty play is the unspoken norm (slewfooting, slashing, shoving, knee hits, tripping, you name it), also some players simply cant or dont want to fight, and those who arent afraid to step up or those with a more physical game are then casually receiving game suspensions where other, "non-problematic" players would get a standard penalty - also more often than not get the players who step up do defend their injured teammate punished worse than the ones who injured them (to add to this- most players arent used to having checks finished on them especially near the boards) - despite all of this, the league is getting better, which is great to see

[@MrWilljohnson]

And people ask why there is fighting in hockey? When there’s no fighting no one respects anyone. Lol

[@huugo8278]

sm liiga next?

[@maximuscz8139]

Thank you for the vid about Czech league! I would say these are the worst hits in about 10 years, Czech league is not much physical league, it is more about technique. Of course we have some dirty players in the league as well like Ševc, Ordoš or Kučný. Biggest problem are the knee to knee hits. But as I said, this is a longterm montage, we have hits like that very rarely in our league, but it is hockey, it happens. And about those adverts on jerseys/ice, tickets cannot fullfill budgets of teams, especially some arenas aren‘t bigger than 7000 people. So advertisement and sponsorship are very needed in our league and this is why we look like a billboard league. But no money = no party.

[@toastmd7825]

Thanks for the info. I thought it would be similar to the nhl in terms of roughness XD Do they get suspended?

[@alexandreantille8067]

12:30 was that a seizure, I’ve never seen anything like that before

[@Sneakymnms]

I would also like some context about that last clip. At first I thought it was a seizure, then I thought he was choking. By the end, I had no idea.

[@Jens95]

I think he couldn't catch his breath. Our fellow Czech Extraliga fans might be able to provide context because I don't trust Google translate.

[@Leafsdude_]

From research, it's a hit by Marek Troncinsky on Martin Docekal on Feb 5 2018. According to reports, he just had the wind knocked out of him ( translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=cs&u=www.idnes.cz/hokej/extraliga/kometa-brno-pardubice.A180205_381052_hokej_ten&prev=search - But as Jens says, it's Google Translate, so...) but he'd be as good an actor as Mike Ribeiro if that's the case, so I'm skeptical, even with the reputation of Europeans.

[@kubela5199]

Comentator said that he couldn´t breath... if you want you can find Martin Dočekal Injury and you ll probably find it

[@TheFirstVonGunther]

Immediately lifting and shaking a man that just took that kind of hit is definitely not what you want to do

[@nolle145]

Could you do something with the SHL??

[@Wangern999]

Can you make a video in the Get ligaen? Btw its the norwigian hockey leuge

[@bertakuceru6865]

Hey thats my league, nice

[@stevereyers]

It seems like half the hits are knee to knee. Never thought I would see that many in a vid

[@koficlothes]

At 13:20 (the last one) what was medically wrong with the player? He looks like his airway was obstructed.

[@camc9225]

Is 2min in the first penalty called? That was easily the least dirty so far..

[@evman1094]

I always hear people(Mostly NHL-Supremacists) saying shit like the ELH, STL, EBEL, AlpsHL, SLM, EIHL is bad hockey. Basically anything in Europe other than KHL, Liiga, NLA and SHL is bad. But i would beat an Old Lady with a hockey stick to be 4th liner in the fuckin Chance Liga or Oberliga or some shit XD

Liberec are the dirtiest team I have ever watched. They literally rugby tackled a player after a goal was scored

[@sloaner]

@@martinriha1904 only dirty thing Belfast did was when we beat the shit out of one of the players. Meanwhile one of liberec's players checked a guy while he was celebrating a goal. Belfast aren't the cleanest team but Liberec were wayy dirtier

you literally cannot watch this with headphones. feels like working in mcdonalds drivetru since its only 1 ear

[@Gil-galad12]

Old or used low quality clips from YT. But to be honest official streams at hokejka.tv often have bad quality (for example Hradec Králové - television great video quality, stream - awfull quality).

[@evanoscherwitz1461]

I feel like Plzen was involved in all of these hits

[@TheKeprtak]

Not really. However, there are many teams in the Extraliga that share basically the same color combination. Kometa Brno, Plzeň, Liberec, Kladno and in some of the previous seasons Chomutov as well.

[@alexandreantille8067]

These are Matt Cooke plays

Agreed. I'm still ashamed of the fact that my local team was the one to bring him into the NHL. *facepalm*

Our years of being part of top hockey countries is gone (last gold from World championship is 10 years old) but Czech republic is still only country that win WC 3 times in row after play off was add. And still we have some top players like Pastrňák or Hertl.

[@topiheimola69]

@@Gil-galad12 well you can still make it to the bronze game in wc.. and you propably could win it too. Hell, it's not impossible to win the whole tournament either. Last gold in 2010 yes, but that team didn't have many NHL players either. Vokoun was pretty old, Pavelec very young. Rozsival the only NHL defenseman. Young Voracek and a 38 year old Jagr.

[@CryonicCrusader]

@@Gil-galad12 Even without the medals, I'd still call the Czechs a major hockey power. It would be considered inconceivable for them to ever drop out of the top level and would even be considered a surprise if they didn't make the final eight. And when you look at how many members the IIHF currently has that play in the entire championship system (the championship proper plus six or seven divisions below it) they really are, proportionally speaking, a top hockey country. So don't be too hard on yourselves :-)

[@Gil-galad12]

@@topiheimola69 yes in 2010 our team was not one of the favorite teams but last medail is bronze from 2012 and yes we ended 4 times at 4th place but that long waiting is longer that should be. I dont say it is imposible for us win but...

[@Gil-galad12]

@@CryonicCrusader yes we are still part of WC Play off but we are at edge to be count as hockey superpower - as shows some plans for World Cup of Hockey (not WC but former Canada Cup) where our players will be in team Europe. But uor resoults speaks clearly - last medail from senior WC - bronze 2012 and at U20 - bronze 2005 and thats not resaults for country from the absolute top. The absolute top is now - Canada, Finland, Russia, Sweden and USA we are now in second wave with Switzerland or Germany. They get up (especially in work young players) and we go down. We are missing conception how to get back up. Czech Ice Hockey Association is changing settings of leagues too often. We need firm plan (especially at work with kids) which will get us back at the top. We are no longer concidered as favorite in the title but as country that can suprised and that is sad for us.

[@kylelozinski6976]

If hits like these are happening regularly, it’s weird to see the refs trying to stops the fights starting from them. If the players aren’t getting punished enough from them league-wise, and the refs aren’t letting the plays punish eachother, then I don’t see how it could stop.
