4th defeat: HC Pustertal is out

The 4:5 defeat could have been avoided, but it is emblematic of a series in which the Wolves had to learn the lessons. The opponent from Hungary is deservedly in the semi-finals for the first time since joining the league.

The home team from Puster dominated the starting third to the core, the unfocused Hungarians didn't even know what was happening to them and couldn't get into the game. In the fateful middle third, the Wolves continued to try to play proactively, but at this point the Red Devils were also wide awake and appeared ice-cold and took advantage of every mistake. The fact that they scored four goals in the middle period was somehow emblematic of the entire series.

In the last 20 minutes, the cracks on the ice offered fans of intense playoff ice hockey a tough battle on a knife's edge, in which the Hungarians came out on top. Throughout the entire series, Szekesfehervar not only made an extremely strong impression in terms of play and combat, but also did the famous “little things” better than HC Pustertal and showed themselves to be an excellent collective. Short & sweet: The highlights of the game Black and yellow dominance Pustertal dominated the game and took a deserved 7-11 lead thanks to a solo effort including a pawn trick from Max Gerlach (2th) and a stunning goal from Jakob Stukel (0th). HCP on fire After two missed high-class goals by Zach Budish, Jakob Stukel is used excellently and the whirlwind dances out Fehervar goalie Rasmus Tirronen to make it 3-0 (18th). Cheers in the guest block The Braeden Shaw show continues: After a brisk counter-attack, the Canadian hat-trick scorer from Sunday scores the goal (26th). Guests turn the tables What's going on here? Seconds after Balint Magosi scored with a skillful direct pass (32nd), Janos Hari, who was left alone, made it 3-3. But that's not all: After a fatal turnover, Shaw even gave the Wolves a 3-4 lead (37'). By hook or by crook In the final third, both teams worked hard and didn't give each other an inch. One minute before the end of the game, Istvan Bartalis dashed all of the black and yellow's hopes with a goal into the empty goal. Johan Harju's winning goal comes too late.
