Decimated HCB meets “favorite opponent” Olimpija Ljubljana

HC Bozen and Olimpija Ljubljana have faced each other eleven times in the recent past. And the white and red left the ice as winners eleven times. If the HCB cracks had their way, this flawless record should still hold up this evening.

As clear as the signs seem before the duel between the sixth in the table and the bottom team, the HCB should definitely be warned. Because while the Pokel protégés lost their last championship game against Fehervar, Ljubljana celebrated an overtime victory at Third Dornbirn. The HCB defense should be particularly careful of Olimpija top scorer Roland Kaspitz (18 points).

Pokel has to lend a hand

Speaking of defense: That's where HC Bozen is currently particularly struggling. Sean McMonagle was suspended for one round by the sports court on Wednesday due to a check in the Fehervar game. This means that Pokel only has five trained defenders available in Laibach. However, the trainer also has to lend a hand to his offensive department, which fired 40 shots in the last championship game, but only scored twice. If he succeeds in compensating for the personnel shortage and at the same time improving accuracy, the HCB should be back on the road to success today. Otherwise, the Foxes are threatened with a bitter setback two days before the important home game against champions Salzburg.
