7:0! Foxes shoot overwhelmed sharks off the ice

During the comeback of Sébastien Sylvestre, who was sorely missed recently, the HCB showed several times what potential he had and played cat and mouse with the guests at times. Even if Innsbruck cannot be seen as a yardstick in this condition - if Bozen can also achieve this performance against the top teams in the league, then Anton Bernard & Co. will not have to hide from anyone.

The home side, who were missing defenders Patrick Wiercioch (Spengler Cup) and Brett Flemming (struck), set the tone right from the start and took the lead shortly after the start of the game: Jamie Arniel was served impressively by fellow striker Dan Catenacci and scored from point Angle to 1:0. As a result, the people of Bolzano were repeatedly given free space on offense, but these were initially not converted into goals - even an 81-second 5-on-3 situation did not result in a goal.

Middle third as if from a single piece If the second HCB goal was not successful in the opening period, the knot finally broke in the middle third and target shooting began. First Anton Bernard directed a Daly shot into the net to make it 2-2, before Stefano Giliati made it 0-3 on the power play with a shot into the near corner. Shortly afterwards, the eye-catching Tim Daly put a fantastic pass through to Domenico Alberga, who only had to hold off the bat to make it 0-4. While the Sharks had long since fallen into pieces at this point, Bozen continued mercilessly: Giliati made it 0-5 with a great solo, after which Sylvestre was also able to celebrate and made it 0-6 in the follow-up.

In the final third, which Innsbruck goalkeeper Scott Darling no longer witnessed, the flow of the game was repeatedly interrupted by numerous nicks and hidden fouls. However, this didn't matter to the HCB players: with the clear lead behind them, the white and red players also had time for one or two tricks, so that applause even echoed through the ice wave a few times. Shortly before the end of the game, Anthony Bardaro finally scored the final point with the 7th goal of the evening - the 7-0 and Bolzano's second-highest success of the season was set in stone.

Thanks to the clear derby win, the Foxes moved within 1 point of the top 5 in the table. The HCB has the opportunity to jump over the line again on Monday: Then the traditionally difficult duel against the Dornbirn Bulldogs is on the program in Vorarlberg.
