Bolzano's Stroll on Valentine's Day

On the occasion of Valentine's Night, 2000 spectators came to the Sparkasse Arena. Those fans who decided against visiting the stadium will not regret their choice. The Green Dragons from Slovenia were responsible for this, as they did not send a competitive team into the race after their “winter sale”. Bolzano dominated the game, which was more like a friendly match, at will. The final score of 5-1 could have been higher if the Foxes had handled the chances more consistently.

But Brad McClure & Co. won't worry about how the victory came about. It was important to get full points in order to keep the pressure on Red Bull Salzburg. The Bulls were leading the table before the matchday, but had to give up the place in the sun after a surprising defeat in Asiago to Bolzano. The remaining four games will decide who will start the playoffs as the winner of the basic round. Everything points to a duel between the bulls and the foxes - even if Innsbruck also still has theoretical chances. The White-Reds want to take the next step towards their first goal of the season on Friday when they visit Klagenfurt at 19.15:XNUMX p.m.

The success against Laibach was never up for debate: thanks to goals from Leonardo Felicetti and Mitch Hults, the game was over after just three and a half minutes. Ljubljana's inferiority was too great. Ziga Pance & Co. probably also knew this, as they endured the disaster without resistance. However, nothing else could be expected from a club that has let seven players go in the last few weeks and has already turned its attention to the coming season. The Foxes will be happy because they were able to save valuable energy. At the same time, HC Pustertal won the extremely important game against the Graz 99ers. The highlights It's off to a good start 102 seconds have been played when the goal siren sounds for the first time: Scott Valentine serves Leonardo Felicetti, who is standing freely in the slot, who shoots straight away and scores his fourth goal of the season. Game already decided Less than two minutes later the decision was made: Mitch Hults caught Ljubljana goalie Zan Us at the near post after a counterattack. Thomas' entire class The 3-0 win by Christian Thomas stands for his quality. Bolzano's storm star escapes all defenders and makes Us look quite old. Now it's clear Again the HCB counters with lightning speed - and again the puck fidgets in the net: Matt Frattin moves to the middle and gives Us no chance with a precise shot. Results cosmetics At the start of the final third, Luca Frigo made it 5-0 from close range before Jaka Sturm scored a consolation goal for the hosts.
