Coach Santeri Heiskanen has captain Dan Tudin, Adam Giacomuzzi, Philipp Pechlaner and Kevin Fink unavailable due to injuries. Losses that are particularly serious in the most important games of the season so far. Failures that the Blue-Reds want to make up for with commitment and fighting spirit. “The depth of the squad can play a crucial role in games like the upcoming ones against Asiago. It also depends on your form on the day. Asiago had one game in the last ten days, while we had the exhausting third and decisive match against HC Pustertal, as well as the two difficult away games at EC KAC II and EC Bregenzerwald," says Ritten's sports director Adolf Insam, describing the starting situation. Since the 2013/14 season, the Italian champion has been called either Asiago or Ritten Asiago is in top form in the crucial phase of the 2020/21 season. Petri Mattila's team has won nine of eleven games since the turn of the year. In the semi-final against Cortina, the Lions won the series smoothly with 2:0 (6:1, 4:2). With 18 goals (15 in the AlpsHL, 3 in the semi-final series against Cortina), Steven McParland is Asiago's top scorer. For the Rittner Buam, Simon Kostner has 16 goals this season (13 in the AlpsHL, 3 in the semi-final series against HCP). It's not just because of these impressive numbers that Asiago is clearly the favorite for Adolf Insam. “As we did against the Wolves, we have nothing to lose and can only surprise. Our team will give everything and then we will see what happens in the end. The fact is that there are two teams facing each other who are used to winning titles. “That gives this finale even more spice,” Insam is convinced. In fact: A look at the honor roll reveals that the Italian champions have been called either Asiago or Rittner Buam since the 2013/14 season. This will be the eighth time in a row that the “Scudetto” will hike to a high plateau. What needs to be clarified is whether it will be the one in Veneto or the one in South Tyrol.
