Bolzano's problem children gain self-confidence

The Foxes had to tremble until the end against the team of the Bolzano champions Kai Suikkanen, but in the end they won 4-2. The difference was made by the better utilization of opportunities and the individual class, and so it was enough to win even without a brilliant performance. HC Pustertal managed a coup on St. Stephen's Day: they won 3-2 at home against top team Olimpija Ljubljana.

At HCB, Kevin Boyle was preferred over Justin Fazio in goal. The US boy has repeatedly come under criticism in recent weeks because of his tendency to make mistakes; Bolzano boss Dieter Knoll even said that “Boyle is a problem”. The goalkeeper with NHL experience was recently on the bench for two games in a row, but against Dornbirn he was allowed to play again and delivered a flawless performance. He was a reliable support, especially in the outnumbered games, and his catch rate of 93,5 percent is impressive.

Speaking of outnumbered play: This has also been a problem at HC Bozen in recent weeks. The Greg Ireland squad has the second weakest value in the league. However, it worked perfectly against Dornbirn: in a total of 8 minutes of being outnumbered, there was no goal conceded. It should also be said that the Bulldogs are not necessarily an indicator, as they have the second-weakest power play in the league. It's still good for your self-confidence. The key scenes 2 bangers Turbulent start: First Mathew Maione goes all out and sinks the puck into the goal (4th), but in the same minute Davis Vandane also scores with a hammer to make it 1-1 (4th). After that there is an interesting back and forth. Cooler is calling A weak middle third in Bolzano – also because of a total of four two-minute penalties. The second-weakest power play in the league from Dornbirn can't score anything against the second-weakest penalty killing from Bolzano. Fast pace The HCB increases the number of hits in the final third. The result: Domenic Alberga directs a shot into the net (44th), then captain Anton Bernard makes it 3-1 after a brilliant Daniel Ciampini pass (54th). Tremble At the end it gets exciting again, as Colton Beck reduces the score to 2:3 after a blueliner (58th). But Angelo Miceli makes everything clear via Empty Net (60th).

Bolzano's problem children gain self-confidence
