Faksa's Helpers Fuel Czechia's Olympic Surge Past France
Radek Faksa, the gritty Dallas Stars bottom-six warrior who's seen it all in NHL trenches, dishes two key assists to spark Czechia's comeback against a scrappy France squad at the Milano Cortina Olympics. With stars like Pastrnak and Necas lighting it up, Faksa's savvy play on that shorthanded breakaway flips the script after France grabs an early edge. This Group A win keeps Czechia rolling, but the real test comes against heavier hitters with NHL eyes watching every shift.
