HCB: Irving alone is not enough to win

In the duel between the two title holders from 2018 and 2019, HC Bozen lost 0-3 to KAC. In the Klagenfurt town hall it was only the goalkeeper Leland Irving, who was once again extremely strong, who really knew how to convince.

Unlike the last four league games, from which the Foxes always emerged victorious, coach Clayton Beddoes' men were never really able to exploit their offensive potential against the KAC. In the first two periods of the game she only fired 11 pucks at the goal of KAC backup David Madlener, who was preferred over regular goalie Lars Haugen. For comparison: During the same period, the Red Jackets shot at the Bolzano goal 26 times. The fact that only one attempt found its way into the goal was solely due to Leland Irving, who went after his The last cream day was against Graz , was once again difficult to overcome and threw itself in the way of the enemy's attacks with all its resources. However, when Johannes Bischofberger made it 1-0 in the 3rd minute, he was also powerless. The KAC crack was able to slide in unhindered after an extended cross pass at an acute angle. Bolzano with a timid reaction HC Bozen, who only appeared like a top team in the penalty kill that evening, only really found their way into the game in the final third. However, this began with the second Klagenfurt success experience. Manuel Ganahl, who was left alone in the slot, gave Irving no chance to defend. As a result, the Foxes tried to score the next goal, but were never able to establish themselves in the opponent's third for long. Anthony Bardaro missed the best chance when the final minute was already running. Seconds later, Siim Liivik made the final score 3-0 with a shot into Irving's goal.
