The HCB shakes everyone off

Only 2 days after the victory in the top game against Graz HC Bozen achieved an easy 5-2 win in the Innsbruck Tiwag Arena. The outstanding player was the in-form Brett Findlay, who played a key role in 3 goals. Curiosity of the evening: All 7 goals in the game came in the first 18 minutes of the game. Goals every minute The lively target shooting was opened by Angelo Miceli, who hit the mark after just 17 seconds. The action was emblematic of what was to happen in the following minutes: Daniel Frank won the target after a check behind the goal, Anton Bernard reacted quickly and laid it off for Miceli, who made it 1-0. Things continued at this hellish pace. In the 3rd minute, Brett Findlay glided around the Innsbruck goal and served the completely unmarked Dustin Gazley with an exemplary cross pass. The former Salzburg striker made it 2-0. Now Innsbruck also noticeably increased the speed and promptly scored the next goal through Felix Girard, who hit the far corner dry after Dennis Robertson lost his target.

After the turbulent opening minutes, both teams tried to bring order into their ranks - but this failed completely. In the 11th minute, the porous Haie defense came under constant fire again before Anton Bernard put an end to the lively hustle and bustle. The HCB captain used his second rebound to make it 3-1. It was his 4th goal of the season. But Innsbruck had the right answer this time too: Jan Lattner restored the old distance in the power play. However, the 3:2 only lasted 8 seconds, when Findlay appeared again with a great individual action. The Canadian center hit goalie Tom McCollum with a hook on the seat of his pants and made it 4-2. Just 3 more turns of the pointer later, Findlay was in his best goalscoring style when he pushed the puck in again after a nice pass from Frigo.

Anton Bernard shone as a provider and enforcer

Findlay is likely to give McCollum, who was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in the first round in 2008 (1 NHL games), nightmares next night - also because his coach didn't give him a chance to make amends. After the first break he had to give up his place to Rene Swette, who ironically didn't concede a single goal in the remaining 3 minutes of play. However, this was also due to the fact that Bozen now shifted down a gear and tried primarily to stabilize its defense. The South Tyroleans should be able to do that too. Just a few seconds before the second half-time siren, things got hectic around Justin Fazio when a goal from HCI top scorer Braden Christoffer was disallowed due to a high stick. Fazio, who once again provided a good replacement for the slightly injured regular goalkeeper Leland Irving, was no longer defeated until the end. Now a home game double awaits Bolzano's clear 3-goal lead towards the end came in handy as they were able to save energy for the upcoming home games against Linz (Friday) and Vienna (Saturday). Then the latest newcomer, Matteo Pietroniro, will provide relief for the decimated defense. He wasn't there against Innsbruck yet, but will make his ICE debut in the next game.
