Honza Zoufal appreciated how the coaching staff and the St. Louis Blues organization worked with Adam Jiříček during his debut at the age of 20. According to him, he earned a spot on the first defensive pair and time on the power play, even though the team had experienced players on the right side, such as Parayko and Fowler. Zoufal noted that the Blues adapted the conditions and style of play to suit Jiříček, and it paid off in the night game. He believed Jiříček deserved the opportunity for his performances in the previous season. Zoufal added that such an approach is not common, especially with Czech players, and he hoped that Jiříček would grow into a great defenseman for the NHL. He also hoped that someone from the national team would take notice of him. https://t.co/2aDo85TWRv #NHL #hokej #mladíhráči (translated)
