Over and over! A thunderous clap for HC Bozen

After unfortunate overtime defeat in Klagenfurt The Foxes lost the second duel with the KAC in the ice wave 0:7. How this resounding bankruptcy came about is hard to believe, but in the end one thing is certain: the people of Bolzano have to go on early summer vacation after their second defeat in the best-of-three series of the pre-playoffs.

The defeat is unbelievable because HC Bozen gave the 2600 spectators a real assault on the opponent's goal for over 50 minutes, but none of the 34 shots found their way past KAC goalie Sebastian Dahm. Klagenfurt, on the other hand, literally turned every half-chance into a goal. <a data-fancybox="gallery-test" class="spn-fancybox uk-inline first" href="https://s3-images.sportnews.bz/_images/scale/1400x800/img/2022/03/nur-selten-kamen-die-rotjacken-vor-das-gehaeuse-von-andy-bernard-doch-wenn-dann-schlugen-sie-eiskalt-zu.jpg" data-caption="Nur selten kamen die Rotjacken vor das Gehäuse von Andy Bernard, doch wenn, dann schlugen sie eiskalt zu. © VANNA ANTONELLO" data-type="image"> <a data-fancybox="gallery-test" class="spn-fancybox uk-inline first" href="https://s3-images.sportnews.bz/_images/scale/1400x800/img/2022/03/domenic-alberga-und-die-foxes-boten-im-letzten-saisonspiel-eine-gute-leistung-das-aus-war-aber-nicht-abzuwenden.jpg" data-caption="Domenic Alberga und die Foxes boten im letzten Saisonspiel eine gute Leistung, das Aus war aber nicht abzuwenden. © VANNA ANTONELLO" data-type="image">

Short & sweet: The highlights of the game First shot, first goal The KAC takes the lead with its first shot on goal. Nick Petersen directs a Ticar shot into the net with an exemplary deflection (14th). Until then only the HCB had actually played. First chance, first goal Steven Strong increased the score to 2-0 with a cross corner shot from the slot (27'). It was Klagenfurt's first chance in the second third. Plastino in double aluminum pitch A blueliner from Nick Plastino hit the post in the first third, and in the 38th minute it also hit the crossbar. Seconds earlier, Marco Insam had hit the outside post. Bolzano's broken neck Immediately at the beginning of the final third, Klagenfurt played a perfect counterattack, which Daniel Obersteiner completed with a well-placed shot (42nd). The 3-0 is the decision. Merciless Klagenfurt people The Foxes' resistance is broken. Lukas Haudum boosts the result with a brace. After the 0:5, Andreas Bernard makes way for Justin Fazio in the Bolzano goal. Bad scenes at the end Thomas Vallant knocks out Daniel Frank with a nasty check. First Mat Maione, later Mike Halmo and Brett Findlay react with violent punches. Their exclusions are only relevant for the statistics, as are the final Klagenfurt goals to make it 7-0. They are credited to Thomas Koch and Clemens Unterweger. You can read the entire game here.

After the game, one thing remains clear: If HC Bozen hadn't put in such a committed performance in the very last do-or-die game, they would never have found themselves in this predicament. So it remains a dramatic end to a season that was very disappointing for a long time.

For one of the HCB squad, it wasn't just the end of the season, but also his career: captain Anton Bernard announced his resignation immediately after the end of the game (Here SportNews provides all the details) .
