The Wolves win the next final

The 4:2 is slightly flattering to the HCP players, but it can definitely be described as deserved due to the pleasing fighting performance.

In the groundbreaking game it was about direct participation for Linz and pre-playoff participation for Bruneck. The mood was correspondingly tingling. The match winners were Ivan Deluca, a double packer, and a once again outstanding Tomas Sholl, who parried 43 shots. A lot continues to stand and fall with the moody Olivier Archambault, who literally worked magic in some situations on Friday evening.

Compared to the last home game, the visitors to the Intercable Arena saw a completely different HC Pustertal at the beginning: the home team appeared dynamic, with a lot of movement without a disc and aggressive in the corners. Some even spoke of the best third of the season. The only question that arises is why the Bruneck team needed 45 games to get going like that. In the middle third, however, it was almost only the Upper Austrians who played, but Sholl, the black and yellow life insurance, was always there and Ivan Deluca scored at the ideal time seconds before the end of the third to make it 3-0. Nevertheless, the strong guests made the physically played game even more exciting and contributed a lot to a great ice hockey match until the end.

In view of Graz's victory in Innsbruck, the success can be rated even higher. Bolzano won in Klagenfurt at the same time . The next HCP match will take place on Sunday in Szekesfehervar (17.30 p.m.), at the same time Bolzano will play in Vienna. The Wolves will play the very last games of the regular season against VSV (February 24.2th) and at home against Laibach (February 26.2th). The highlights of the game Pustertal freedom Dante Hannoun serves Filip Ahl, who is tackled half-heartedly and he outwits Thomas Höneckl, who still has his shoulder (3.). Raphael Andergassen and Ivan Deluca, as well as Stefan Gaffal, find further good opportunities on the Linz side. What a solo! The match winner from Graz, Olivier Archambault, then reaches into his bag of tricks, he reduces several Stahlstadt players to extras and sets up for Anthony Bardaro, who has an easy game and scores (13th). Catenacci as savior The second section belongs to the Linzers, accompanied by a loud away mob. When Sholl deflects a shot high into the air, Dan Catenacci has to clear the puck as it threatens to crash into the goal (28). Deluca as enforcer Contrary to the course of the game, the HCP increases: a penalty is called for against Linz and of the six black and yellow field players it is Archambault who escapes again and sets up for Ivan Deluca, who has a physical advantage in front of the goal and pushes in at the important time (29th). Linz shortened During a period of pressure from Linz, Lorenz Lindner scored with a precise hammer shot to make it 1:3 from the visitors' perspective (44th). But that's not all: After a Simon Berger misfire (sticking and subsequent wild protest), Pustertal played outnumbered for 4 minutes and got another goal from Brian Lebler (53'). After that, the black and yellow defensive wall held firm and Deluca put the lid on it with a shot into the empty Linz goal.
