Do najnovšej epizódy podcastu Góly z bufetu na ŠPORT.sk prijal pozvanie mladý slovenský hokejový talent Michal Prádel, ktorý sa nedávno stal šiestym vybraným brankárom v tohtoročnom drafte do NHL, kde po ňom siahol klub Detroit Red Wings. Mladík z Oravy, ktorý hrával za projekt Slovensko a neskôr pokračoval v USHL, otvorene porozprával o svojej draftovej skúsenosti, brankárskom remesle i plánoch do budúcnosti.Michal Prádel v rozhovore s moderátormi Tomášom Prokopom a Marekom Marušiakom odhalil svoj pohľad na úspešné vystúpenie na MS v hokeji do 18 rokov, kde Slovensko skončilo tesne pod stupňami víťazov na štvrtom mieste. Gólman detailne opísal, ako sa vyrovnáva s tlakom veľkých zápasov i prípadnými neúspechmi, pričom prekvapuje pokojným prístupom.„V tom momente som si určite nepovedal, že ma to posunulo vpred,” hovorí o ťažkých momentoch v kariére, no s odstupom času vidí aj v neúspechoch príležitosť na rast.Diváci sa dozvedia, čo mu v Detroite poradili skúsené legendy ako Steve Yzerman či Nicklas Lidström, ale aj to, aký je jeho brankársky vzor. Na rozdiel od fanúšikov, ktorí milujú efektné zákroky, Michal Prádel obdivuje Connora Hellebuycka pre jeho čítanie hry a vykrývanie priestoru.V príjemnej, miestami vtipnej debate nechýbajú otázky o jeho preddraftových očakávaniach, plánoch študovať na americkej univerzite, ani to, kam by zobral Stanley Cup, ak by sa mu ho podarilo vyhrať. Zistite, ako vníma konkurenciu v organizácii Detroit Red Wings a aká dlhá je podľa neho cesta gólmana do NHL.

The Detroit Red Wings entered the offseason with high expectations — but outside of a few depth signings and minor tweaks, it's been largely uneventful. In this episode, we break down the quiet nature of the Wings' offseason, why Steve Yzerman may be holding back, and what this all means for the 2025 campaign. Is patience the play, or did Detroit miss out on key opportunities to take the next step?
