The homegrown guys do it: Buam force game three

As if the Asiago hurdle wasn't high enough, the Buam also had to make do without Dan Tudin, Kevin Fink, Adam Giacomuzzi and Philipp Pechlaner on Thursday. The Italian-Canadian's absence was particularly noticeable. The Buam lacked his class, his cleverness and, last but not least, his experience at every turn. They made up for all of this with an incredible amount of running, a perfect tactical plan and two homegrown players who are having a great time at the moment: Markus Spinell and Hannes Trebenreif. This led to Ritten winning 3-0, which was well deserved.

It was clear to both teams in the first few minutes that there was a lot at stake this evening. The action took place in the neutral third, with the focus being on avoiding mistakes. It was only after around ten minutes that the game picked up speed, when first Lasse Uusivirta and then Manuel Öhler caused danger. On the other side, Michele Marchetti and Daniel Mantenuto tested Tretreibenreif. Spinel benefits from referee When Andreas Lutz was sent to the penalty box for four minutes for a knee check, Asiago had the chance to move a little closer to the seventh Italian championship title in the club's history. Instead, Alex Gellert was hindered by a linesman in the neutral third, so that Spinell was able to steal the puck from the defender and single-handedly overcome Gianluca Vallini in a remarkable way (16th). The score was 1-0 going into the first third break.

Due to the decimated personnel, MacGregor Sharp & Co. inevitably could not keep up with the opponent's high pace. The result was longer periods of pressure in their own zone. It became clear once again that day that the Buam know how to deal with such situations. Apart from harmless shots from a long distance, where Tretreibenreif usually had a clear view, nothing stood out for Asiago. The South Tyroleans' lead only wavered once. Namely when Gellert, outnumbered, simply shot and hit the post. Although Simon Kostner, who was put in the spotlight by Spinell, had the 2-1 on his bat in a 2-on-0 situation, the score remained unchanged after 40 minutes. Spinel again and again In general, the latter actors had a hand in every tricky action. They provided the extremely important relief attacks, thanks to which the Buam were able to break away from the Stellati's grasp. The Rittners played the final third evenly and were never in danger of losing their lead. Almost never, because a hair-raising mistake by Uusivirta allowed Marco Rosa to go it alone, which the outstanding driving tire defused in front of national coach Greg Ireland. In return, Spinell put the lid on the power play with a follow-up shot. Now Asiago coach Petri Mattila put everything on one card and took Vallini off the ice. The 3-0 by Julian Kostner into the empty goal was the receipt.

With the great victory, the Buam have forced the third game, which will take place on Saturday evening in Asiago. The game starts at 20.30:XNUMX p.m. Italian Championship: Rittner Buam – Asiago 3-0 Goals: 1:0 Spinell (15.57), 2:0 Spinell (57.20), 3:0 Julian Kostner (57.55)

The homegrown guys do it: Buam force game three

It's a shame that no spectators are allowed into the stadiums. Because the Rittner Buam more than deserve the support of their own followers for what they have been doing for weeks. On Thursday, the Heiskanen team forced the decisive third game against Asiago in the Italian championship.
