Big show in the top game: foxes eat sharks

Solid on defense, extremely dangerous on offense: This is how Bozen's fourth appearance of the current season can be summed up succinctly. The Foxes were superior in all areas to the highly traded and so far fast-playing Innsbruck team (three wins in three games), winning 60-5 after 1 entertaining minutes and thereby maintaining their clean slate. If the White-Reds continue to play with this continuity, the competition will have to warm up. At the same time, HC Pustertal had no chance against reigning champions Salzburg.

Although the home team impressed in front of around 3000 fans, there were four personalities who left their mark on the game. On the one hand, the attack line around Dustin Gazley, Brad McClure and double goal scorer Mike Halmo, who were responsible for three goals and also did a lot of other things. The other goalkeeper Samuel Harvey, who was preferred over Andreas Bernard, moved like a cat between the posts, received applause from the stands several times and in the end was able to cope with the fact that he didn't celebrate a shutout.

Thanks to their fourth win in as many games, Daniel Frank & Co. are in second place in the table. Only Red Bull Salzburg, who also have a full number of points, are ahead of the Füchse. The direct duel with the Austrians will take place next Friday in Salzburg. Before that, the South Tyroleans have an away game against the Pioneers Vorarlberg on Sunday (2 p.m.). The highlights Rocket launch The HCB is serious. Initially, Angelo Miceli, Scott Valentine and Mitch Hults still missed the finish line, but a short time later the fans can celebrate. After a pass from Gazley, Brad McClure dupes an opponent and scores from the slot. Back and forth Mike Halmo then has a great chance to make it 2-0 on his own, but gets stuck to goalie Thomas McCollum. On the other hand, Sam Harvey can excel in the attempts of Braeden Shaw and Lukas Bär. Kaboom Again it is the third row that scores. Gazley serves Halmo, who is standing free in the slot, who scores the deserved 2-0 with a slap shot. A few moments later, Angelo Miceli miserably misses the preliminary decision after a dream combination. Double whammy With twice the majority, the foxes show no mercy. First Matt Frattin lifts the puck under the crossbar to make it 3-0, and 25 seconds later Christian Thomas scores with a wrist shot to make it 4-0. final point The Foxes slow down several gears, but still make it 5-0 thanks to a Halmo deflection. Jan Lattner screwed up Harvey's shutout on the power play.
