The “Foxes” sense their chance

In the previous two quarter-final games, the home team always had the upper hand, both after taking an early 1-0 lead in the game. On Friday, Black Wings and Foxes will cross paths again in Linz.

Pokel: “We have to play even better”

“In game two we played very well tactically, the boys showed heart and ambition. Now we want to attack in game three, we have only taken the first step: The next task is the match in Linz and we have to play even better there!”, says HCB head coach Tom Pokel, who once again looked after the injured Palmieri in Linz. Gander and Ramoser have to pretend. In order to advance to the finals, the Foxes have to win at least once in Upper Austria. The people of Bolzano still have at least two chances to do this, the first on Friday. To do this, Alexander Egger and Co. also have to end their current away curse, because so far they have lost all ten games away from home in 2017 and have never scored more than three goals.

Discipline is key

Tom Pokel seems to have found the recipe for success: In game two, his cracks pulled the wool over the opponent's teeth with their physical but fair style of play. The Foxes were extremely disciplined and hardly gave Linz a chance to play their feared power play game. They spent just ten minutes in the cooler in the first two quarterfinal games. In fact, all seven goals so far have been scored by the two teams with numerical balance on the ice. Now it remains to be seen whether this trend will continue on Friday. The game starts at 19.15:33 p.m. and the TV station VideoXNUMX will broadcast the game live.
