Floorball’s Tatran Střešovice triumph in nerve-wracking final

Floorball’s Tatran Střešovice completed a stunning comeback in the Extraliga finals in game 5 of the best-of-five series, defeating Ostrava to win their 14th playoff title. Tatran – the defending champions – were down and out for most of the match, at one point by 5:0. But Tatran managed to come back in the final minutes, scoring six in the third period to tie the game at 8 goals apiece. The winner came in overtime off the stick of Milan Garčar, who lashed the ball past the goalie from distance. Garčar is a key player who won bronze with the Czech national team at the World Championship in Helsinki last year.
