Puster wolves are severely bitten by sharks

Late on Sunday afternoon, 3104 ice hockey fans were treated to a big difference in quality between HC Innsbruck and HC Pustertal. There were no two opinions about this after the game ended. The Haie deservedly won the Tyrolean duel 5:3.

The HCP was the league leader, spurred on by the 1:5 defeat in Bolzano had traveled to Brunico, inferior in almost all respects. Innsbruck let the puck flow skillfully, launched its attacks at high speed and – unlike the Wolves – narrowed the space in front of their own goal.

But there are also positive things to report from the Bruneck ice stadium. It is the answer to the question: Which team would bury their head in the sand if the score was 0:5? Certainly not HC Pustertal! While the fans from Innsbruck who had traveled with them were already celebrating loudly, the HCP suddenly reared up with unexpected vehemence. With three goals within two minutes the result could no longer be overturned, but it was enough for a somewhat conciliatory outcome to the game. The key scenes First neck hit The HCP defense allows Shaw to move unhindered in front of the goal, who pushes in to make it 1-0 for the guests (8th). To tear your hair out In the middle section, the Wolves' defense was out of the picture: after a mistake in Bruneck's build-up game, Leavens scored to make it 2-0. At 3-0, Bär benefits from a HCP loss of the target on the boards, a little later Helewka, who was left criminally alone, only has to push the puck over the line at 4-0. Always aluminum The Innsbruck team could have led higher, but they failed to hit the goal post a total of three times. Lattner, Mackin and Bär hit the aluminum once per third. What a moral As clear as the matter was until five minutes before the end, the Puster team's comeback came as a surprise. Deluca with a powerful diagonal shot and Archambault with a backhander while falling shortened the score to 2:5. Fire under the roof Suddenly hope arises and things get really loud in the Intercable Arena. Willcox made it exciting again with his goal to make it 3:5 three minutes before the end, shortly afterwards Archambault hit the outside post. But it's no longer enough to be a big sensation. The Wolves, who slipped to tenth place with this defeat but are still on the pre-playoff course, now have almost a week to lick their wounds before the next league game in Vienna on Saturday. HC Bozen, on the other hand, is currently playing in Szekesfehervar (see result ticker below) and has to play against the Capitals on Tuesday.

Bolzano also later lost to Fehervar (Here go to the article).
