The Foxes trip themselves up

After the confident victory in the first home game, HC Bozen went into the duel with the title holders from Vienna with a lot of confidence. Alex Petan had the first high-profile chance, but his finish in the fifth minute was unsuccessful. At this point the Foxes were on the power play for the first time. When this was over, the Caps took the scepter into their hands and didn't give it up so quickly. With a lot of effort and skill, the HCB maintained the goalless draw until the first halftime siren.

Five fatal minutes

As disciplined as the champions were from 2014 until the break, their performance was disastrous after the restart. With a fair amount of recklessness, he broke his own neck. A whole series of unnecessary penalties put the guests on the road to victory. He gratefully accepted the gifts and went ahead 3-0 within five minutes. First, Rafael Rotter pushed the disc into the net under HCB goalie Marcel Melichercik's pads, then Patrick Peter pulled away from the blue line, before Rotter scored the third power play goal. The people of Bolzano vented their anger at the petty referees, but failed to react in time on the ice. It was only towards the end of the middle period, when things calmed down, that they pushed in front of the opponent's goal again. However, they remained unlucky in the end.

Angelidi's debut goal comes too late

In the last part of the game, a completely open game developed - also because McSharp and Co. now significantly slowed down. However, Mike Angelidis' first goal of the season came too late to initiate a successful comeback. In the remaining two minutes of the game, the HCB could no longer pose a threat, even with six field players. In the end, the fatal five minutes of play in the second third were even more serious.
