Derby Wolves still on cloud 7

After the green dragons' narrow success in October, the Helminen troops managed to take revenge with a 3-2 win in the almost sold-out Intercable Arena. This means that the HCP continues to float on cloud 7: The Derby win against Bolzano seems to have inspired the wolves. The Foxes, for their part, beat Dornbirn 4-2 on St. Stephen's Day.

To date, Laibach has really shaken up the league. Coach Mitja Sivic, who coached for arch-rival Jesenice in the AlpsHL last year, knows Slovenian ice hockey inside out and gives each of his players clear tasks to do on the ice. In Laibach they rely on local players: there are only 5 real import players available, but the HKO head coach can fish from a large pool of Slovenian cracks.

In the starting third, the HCP, who had to do without Anthony Bardaro, cleverly narrowed the spaces so that the dragons, who had been on the decline lately, were unable to develop. As a result, the unorthodox but quick-witted Olimpija goalkeeper Paavo Holsa was repeatedly assisted by Goddess Fortuna. The much-vaunted Pusterer power play didn't work. The freshly boosted HCP cracks had to put a lot into the balance and although the energy level dropped in the last few minutes, the strong shot of Emil Kristensen managed to get the deserved equalizer, which was followed by the final reward from Matthias Mantinger. In addition to the Kalterer, Zach Budish played his way into the spotlight with three assists. Highlights Speed and brains In the first third the duel is characterized by speed and tactics. After a face-off, Mathias Mantinger and Jasse icons react quickest and the latter uses his own rebound (14th). Opportunity usury In the middle section, Aleksandar Magovac shoots from a distance after a lightning-fast action and promptly equalizes. HKO goalkeeper Holsa then parries himself into the spotlight, especially to the chagrin of Zach Budish, Mantinger and Ivan Deluca. The Bolzano legend One minute before the end of the third, Ziga Pance made it alone to the HCP goal and scored ice-cold into the top corner. The redemption Piché and co. Defend skillfully, but Emil Kristensen scored the much-celebrated equalizer with a direct shot two minutes before the end of the game. Holsa then leaves a rebound “gift” and Mantinger thanks him. The hut is shaking! The Black and Yellows will continue on Tuesday, December 28th at 19.15:19.45 p.m. in Dornbirn, where both the Bulldogs and the Wolves, who are based there, don't want to miss out on the coveted tenth place.
