HC Bozen is flexing its muscles

HC Pustertal scored four times in its first win of the season on Sunday, The HCB has scored just as often at home against Olimpija Ljubljana. The Foxes turned a 0-1 deficit into 4-1. This means they are undefeated at the top of the rankings after two games of the season. In the second home game within 48 hours, the Hanlon team clearly flexed their muscles. After an erratic starting third, in which the Foxes only stood out for their careless handling of scoring opportunities, they really turned up the heat from the halfway point onwards. From this point on, the virtues of will, playfulness and coolness exemplified by Mike Halmo were adopted by all HCB cracks. Last year's surprise team from Slovenia had little to counter this. Sam Harvey, who was preferred in the Bolzano goal this time, thwarted all of the guests' few attempts to relieve the pressure.

Short & sweet: The highlights of the game Storm over Bolzano Jaka Sturm sweeps past the HCB defense and scores the visitors' 1-0 lead (8th). This was preceded by a failed break-out from Bolzano and a precise cross pass from Jona Erving. Miceli, oh no! In the 26th minute, Angelo Miceli stormed towards the goal alone, put the goalie on the seat of his pants, but didn't put the disc into the empty goal. Shortly afterwards, Dustin Gazley's solo effort was stopped with a foul. It just wasn't meant to be this far for the HCB. A shot so beautiful Mike Halmo tears the spider web in the corner of the Ljubljana goal with a true Sunday shot. In the power play, the Canadian hits the puck from the face-off circle into the top corner. It's 1:1 (36th). Frank's primal scream Now the knot is broken! After a Culkin shot, Daniel Frank scored to make it 2-1 (38th). The captain's shout of joy causes all the dams in the Bolzano fan curve to break. Hults does it again Mitch Hults definitely puts the Foxes on the road to victory. He nets after a one-two with Matt Frattin (58th). The US boy had already scored in exactly the same way at the start. Cool, cooler, Dalhuisen And another déjà vu: As against Vorarlberg, Mike Dalhuisen brings the final point. And again he scores with an empty-net shot from his own zone (60th). It's 4:1. Things continue for the Foxes next Friday, when the third home game takes place in the Sparkasse Arena. The opponent is EHC Linz in the south of Bolzano.
