This HC Innsbruck is on a roll

First of all: HC Pustertal played a good game and was at least on par, but in the end had to admit defeat 3:5. However, a missed goal to make it 2:3 at the start of the final third put the Wolves in their place. Ahl's backhander would actually have been behind the goal line. But the goal was not given despite minutes of video evidence.

In this phase, HC Pustertal would have been in full control. The 2:3 goal would have made the game even more exciting. The Haie then pulled away to 5-1 with a quick double strike. The last two goals from Bruneck were nothing more than cosmetic results.

In the end, the home team from Innsbruck confirmed their lead in the table with their 7th win from the last 8 games. The North Tyroleans are a strong team, especially offensively. And when you're at the top - like on Friday evening - you also have the necessary luck on your side.

With the wolves, however, the mood is different. The Bruneck team suffered their 5th defeat in a row. The fact that Pustertal beat Innsbruck 8-3 a month ago shows that anything is possible in this league. In any case, there is no time for the Horsky protégés to mope. Emil Kristensen & Co. will continue their game on Saturday evening (19.45:XNUMX p.m.) with a home game against the bottom of the table, the Pioneers Vorarlberg. Then we should finally win again.

The highlights Countered out After a long pass across the middle third, Innsbruck stormed towards the goal in the 3rd minute. At the end of the counterattack, Shaw lays it across to Coulter, who only has to push in from close range. Turbulent The HCP actually starts the middle third well. But Catenacci & Co. miss the equalizer. Innsbruck, on the other hand, increased the lead to 34-35 after a quick double strike by Mackin (3th) and Feldner (0th). But the Wolves don't give up and when they are outnumbered - just 3,8 seconds before the last half-time siren - they score 1:3 through the free-standing Luchuk. It's going to be wild After a backhander from Ahl, the puck is actually behind the line. The goal is not given however. Then things get wild. The players are at each other's throats. Even according to video evidence, the Ahl hit doesn't count. Only the referees know why. Goals, goals, goals Even after Ahl missed a goal, the HCP stayed on the trigger, but didn't score the goals. A quick double strike by Mackin and Ulmer (50th) ensures the decision. The Wolves also managed two more goals at the end of the game, which didn't change the defeat.

HC Innsbruck's first pursuer remains HCB Südtirol Alperia. The Talferstadt residents won 1-0 in Klagenfurt on Friday.
