HCB: A finale with a bland aftertaste

The fact that the final result in the Salzburg Volksgarten is only of secondary importance for the HCB is already ensured by the starting situation in the table. Because the people of Bolzano can reach fifth place in the table in the best case scenario, the main thing against Salzburg is to maintain the momentum and self-confidence from the 6th: 2-success over Linz to the playoffs. The “Bulls”, on the other hand, want to win their CHL ticket by winning a point. One point is enough for Salzburg to secure second place in the table and thus a starting place for next year's Champions Hockey League.

Season seems to be over for Nick Palmieri Although the "Foxes" returned to winning ways against Linz, the game against the Upper Austrians ended with a bad aftertaste from Bolzano's perspective: Nick Palmieri, who had just recovered, was eliminated due to injury after an unpunished foul by Brett McLean from Linz and will be with Bolzano for a long time are not available. The US boy is unlikely to return to the ice this EBEL year.
