\u201eV Hartfordu jsem chodil r\u00e1d, ale te\u010f se na z\u00e1pasy dostanu jen m\u00e1lo. Sleduju hokej hlavn\u011b v\u00a0televizi,\u201c p\u0159iznal Lendl, kter\u00fd u\u017e ale p\u0159ed sezonou v\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee rok 2026\u00a0je rokem Caroliny. \u201e\u0158\u00edkal jsem si to po p\u0159\u00edchodu (Nikolaje) Ehlerse a (K\u2019Andreho) Millera. Na za\u010d\u00e1tku sezony m\u011bl t\u00fdm dobr\u00e9 v\u00fdsledky i\u00a0p\u0159es hodn\u011b zran\u011bn\u00fdch. A\u00a0naopak v\u00a0play off se mu v\u00e1\u017en\u00e1 zran\u011bn\u00ed vyhnula.\u201c<\/p>\n

Spousta expert\u016f p\u0159itom Carolinu z\u00a0p\u0159edsezonn\u00edch tip\u016f vynechala, kdy\u017e v\u00a0nich st\u00e1le je\u0161t\u011b rezonovala v\u00fdm\u011bna Martina Ne\u010dase do Colorada za Mikka Rantanena, kter\u00fd v\u0161ak Hurricanes velmi rychle zase opustil a\u00a0ode\u0161el do Dallasu. Lendl byl ale v\u00a0klidu, nem\u011bl pocit, \u017ee klub ud\u011blal dva kroky zp\u011bt.<\/p>\n

\u201eU takov\u00fdch v\u00fdm\u011bn je t\u0159eba to posoudit a\u017e s\u00a0odstupem. Samoz\u0159ejm\u011b m\u011b mrzelo, \u017ee Martin \u0161el jinam, ale tak to v\u00a0t\u00fdmov\u00fdch sportech prost\u011b je.\u201c Carolina nakonec prosvi\u0161t\u011bla play off se z\u00e1pasov\u00fdm sk\u00f3re 16-3! \u201eT\u00fdm se dob\u0159e popral s\u00a0t\u011b\u017e\u0161\u00edmi situacemi,\u201c p\u0159ik\u00fdvl Lendl. P\u0159ed dvaceti lety byla cesta ke Stanley Cupu mnohem zaruban\u011bj\u0161\u00ed. V\u00a0posledn\u00edch dvou s\u00e9ri\u00edch s\u00a0Buffalem a\u00a0Edmontonem pot\u0159ebovali Hurricanes k\u00a0triumfu poka\u017ed\u00e9 sedm z\u00e1pas\u016f.<\/p>\n

\u201eJestli si dob\u0159e pamatuju, tak m\u011bli po Ottaw\u011b, kter\u00e1 vyhr\u00e1la Presidents\u2018 Trophy, v\u00a0z\u00e1kladn\u00ed \u010d\u00e1sti nejv\u00edc bod\u016f,\u201c uk\u00e1zal Lendl dobrou pam\u011b\u0165. \u201ePlay off ale za\u010dali dv\u011bma por\u00e1\u017ekami doma s\u00a0Montrealem.

Tenisov\u00e1 legenda Ivan Lendl.<\/p>\n

U\u017e tehdy Carolinu vedl s\u00a0kapit\u00e1nsk\u00fdm c\u00e9\u010dkem Rod Brind\u2019Amour, kter\u00fd si o\u00a0dvacet let pozd\u011bji zopakoval triumf i\u00a0jako kou\u010d Hurricanes. \u201eNed\u00e1vno jsem si vyhledal tu jeho v\u00fdm\u011bnu z\u00a0roku 2000,\u201c p\u0159ipomn\u011bl Lendl trejd s\u00a0Philadelphi\u00ed za Keitha Primeaua. \u201eUr\u010dit\u011b se Hurricanes vyplatil. Brind\u2019Amour m\u00e1 obrovsk\u00fd pod\u00edl na \u00fasp\u011b\u0161\u00edch klubu.\u201c<\/p>\n

Lendl ale chv\u00e1l\u00ed i\u00a037let\u00e9ho kapit\u00e1na a\u00a0nejstar\u0161\u00edho v\u00edt\u011bze Conn Smythe Trophy pro nejlep\u0161\u00edho hokejistu play off Jordana Staala. \u201eJeden z\u00a0nejd\u016fle\u017eit\u011bj\u0161\u00edch hr\u00e1\u010d\u016f a\u00a0fantastickej l\u00eddr.\u201c Slabost v\u0161ak m\u00e1 hlavn\u011b pro \u010dleny \u010dtvrt\u00e9 formace, kterou Hurricanes pos\u00edlaj\u00ed na tu nej\u010dern\u011bj\u0161\u00ed robotu. \u201e77, 28\u00a0a\u00a050,\u201c co\u017e jsou Mark Jankowski, William Carrier a\u00a0Eric Robinson.<\/p>\n

Spousta fanou\u0161k\u016f nem\u00e1 sice \u00faporn\u00fd styl Caroliny moc v\u00a0l\u00e1sce, ale hokejov\u00fd fajn\u0161mekr si ho dok\u00e1\u017ee vychutnat. \u201eM\u00e1m to r\u00e1d.

Zda jsou s\u00a0touto strategi\u00ed Hurricanes schopni stvo\u0159it v\u00edt\u011bznou dynastii, si ov\u0161em Lendl netrouf\u00e1 odhadovat. \u201eV dob\u011b platov\u00e9ho stropu je to ur\u010dit\u011b velice t\u011b\u017ek\u00e9. Hurricanes jsou pod n\u00edm ale 12\u00a0milion\u016f dolar\u016f a\u00a0v\u011bt\u0161inu hr\u00e1\u010d\u016f maj\u00ed podepsanou na n\u011bkolik p\u0159\u00ed\u0161t\u00edch let,\u201c dod\u00e1v\u00e1 n\u011bkdej\u0161\u00ed tenisov\u00fd p\u0159eborn\u00edk. A\u00a0to je pro ambice \u0161ampion\u016f Caroliny jist\u011b p\u0159\u00edzniv\u00e1 indicie.<\/p>\n
