Popular Post SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 11, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) Really liking Jašek's game today through one period. Skating miles and making really smart plays. When his team is under pressure, he's back fighting for pucks or getting in position to create easy outlets for his Dmen. When they have Dzone control, he's using his speed to get up ice to create quick strike options for a potential breakaway pass. Never seems out of position. Reading the play really well. Also very dogged on the puck. Won some tough battles in the corners and came up with the puck. Good, active forecheck and consistent pressure on the backcheck. Passes are crisp and accurate. And gets into good shooting position and finds clear lanes. Just doing all the little things very well. Seems to be playing every inch of the ice surface and making lots of small but important plays all over the rink. Also very diligent in keeping his shifts short and making very clean changes (small point but it's been noticeable). Through one period, he's played 6:09, has a shot on goal (with a pretty good chance), and has gone 2/2 on faceoffs. EDIT: Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to watch the whole game. But if Jašek plays the next two periods like he did the first, he'll likely hit the scoresheet today and finish with high minutes and strong underlying numbers.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 (edited) So no points for Jašek today but still played a really strong game in a 3-2 loss. Played 19:55 TOI. 2 shots. Even. 4/4 faceoffs (was splitting duties with another C/W so both of them could mainly take draws on their strong sides) The stats line undersells how well he played. Much of this you can gather from my earlier post. I missed the middle frame but saw the end of the game and Jašek was one of the best players on the ice. Really solid two-way game. Broke up opposition chances. Defended the "home plate" area and the slot really well, keeping position on his checks and intercepting centering feeds. Was noticeable on clearances, exits/entries, and the breakout. Looked dangerous on some rushes. Worked hard on the boards and extended possession in the offensive zone. Just solid, solid play. Coach seemed to notice and had Jašek out for the final minute with the goalie pulled. Caught an offensive zone draw on an icing and sent Jašek right back out for the final 30 seconds (after a timeout to rest Liberec's best players--who Jašek was among). Unfortunately, the tying goal didn't materialize. Would have loved to see Jašek get on the scoresheet for the GTG or GWG in overtime but alas, it just wasn't in the cards today. Still, a very impressive game and one where Jašek really looked like an NHL prospect who might eventually find a role in the Canucks bottom-six.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Jasek has been elevated to the first line for today's Extraliga game versus HC Skoda Plzen. Looks like his last game (the one I gushed about in the previous posts) also really impressed his coach! Game starts soon. Unfortunately, I won't be able to watch so there won't be a detailed summary like last time. But I will update later with his game stats. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 A little late but probably worth dropping this tweet into the thread: Same kind of jersey Pettersson was wearing last game. Nice to see Jašek making an impact in the Champions League as his team's top scorer. And sitting near the top of the team's scoring leaders (and best by per minute rate) in Extraliga. And now playing first line today. Early days, but this season (and the move to a new team) is really going as well as I'd hoped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Liberec loses 5-1 to Plzen. Somewhat predictable result as Plzen is top team (and has the league's leading scorer) and Liberec is a bit of a bottom feeder this year in Extraliga (at least so far this season). So it's more of case of looking for "moral victories" in this game. Unfortunately, I didn't watch this one so can't offer much detail on how Jašek played. He appears to have stayed on the first line. Finished with 18:34 TOI (among top forwards). Only tagged with a -1 (which ain't bad in a 5-1 loss). No points and wasn't credited with a shot on goal. Had one hit. Played wing all game so didn't take any faceoffs. Hard to know how effective he was from those numbers. Hopefully he played well enough to get another look on the top line next game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 No points for Jašek today. And a pretty uneventful stat line (mostly zeros across the board). Unfortunately, I didn't see this game so can't speak to his quality of play. Played this game at 2RW. Finished with the second highest icetime (18:13 TOI) among all White Tigers forwards.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Liberec plays Mountfield this morning (9am start Vancouver time). Jašek moved back to centre on what's ostensibly the White Tigers' third line. However, his wingers are actually Liberec's 5th and 6th best forward scorers, so one could argue he's actually playing second line and an offensive role today. EDIT: Based on early PPTOI stats, Jašek also appears to be playing in Liberec's first unit PP.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 11:55 TOI today and 5/6 on faceoffs. Not much else to mention in Jašek's stat line. Liberec lost 3-1 and put up pretty poor shots totals. Jašek started out with good icetime but ended up getting a 10 minute unsportsmanlike and also serving a bench minor, so he spent 12 minutes in the penalty box this game (which obviously limited his TOI).

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Jašek playing (game already started) in Extraliga action. Centering the third line with Lakatoš and Ordoš on his wings. I like this combination. Hopefully they play well. Liberec has struggled of late during a tough run against some of the better Czech teams. Today they face Litvínov, current cellar dwellers in Extraliga, so hopefully the White Tigers (and Jašek) can bust the slump and get some results. EDIT: Liberec wins 3-2 in shootout No points for Jašek but he played a solid 14:35 TOI, with 2 hits, 2 SOG, 2 blocked shots, even +/-, and 6/9 on faceoffs. Good territorial play and shots numbers from his line. Edited October 20, 2017 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Jašek playing today (game already started) as Liberec takes on Zlín. Tigers are currently up 2-0. Jašek playing 3C again with Lakatoš and Ordoš on his wings. Jašek and his linemates haven't scored but are getting chances and doing a good job with possession and zone time. EDIT: Zlín comes back to tie to game and then wins in overtime. Jašek wasn't on ice for any goals against and finishes even. Played a bit of a checking role this game with modest icetime (11:52 TOI). Finished with 2 SOG and 3/5 faceoffs. Edited October 22, 2017 by SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Jašek also played today (admittedly Pettersson and Juolevi had me a little distracted ). His stat line doesn't really tell the whole story. Zeros across the board on the basic counting stats. However, based on the play-by-play, reports, and live updates, he had a strong game. Figured prominently in scoring chances (unfortunately he put shots wide), won some puck battles, and his line with Ordoš and Lakatoš were quite active and sustained offensive pressure. Finished with 18:33 TOI (5th highest forward icetime) after starting on the 3rd line, which suggests his coach liked Jašek's game today, despite him not putting up any numbers.

Gosh Sid, I sure am happy you posted about these guys today. With all that was going on, understandable that you didn't give period by period updates, but it was still concerning. I actually thought you may have Ordoš'd on something you were Lakatoš-intolerant to and it made Jašek! Glad to hear you're still in good health 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Jašek playing today. Just scored a goal! Finally. Been on a bit of a slump. He's played well but just wasn't getting any luck. Hopefully he can build from here and start putting up some regular points again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 For a 6th round pick he looks like he has bottom 6 NHL potential. If he can be an NHL player someday it would be a big win. Most of our 6th and 7th rounders have been uninspiring lately. Palmu is the other exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stats don't really show it but Jašek's biggest gains the past couple years have been in his two-way/200 ft game. He's become a pretty solid all-around player. And he can still chip in offense. Also helps that he's able to play all three forward positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
