HCB takes revenge on Suikkanens Bulldogs

The Foxes won their home game 5-3 early on Sunday evening and thus took revenge for the narrow defeat in the duel with their former master coach Kai Suikkanen immediately before the turn of the year. Although Dornbirn (30 shots) shot at the opponent's goal significantly more often than HCB (22), this time their cracks were incredibly accurate.

Only 2 days after the convincing performance in Salzburg Bolzano also set the tone against Dornbirn for the entire duration of the game, with the course for victory already being set in the starting third. In the 8th minute, Dylan Di Perna gave the home team the lead with his first professional goal. The defender circled the Dornbirn box and lifted the disc from the turn into the top corner.

After Di Perna's 1-0, Angelo Miceli and Dennis Robertson added before the first half-time siren. The Italian international scored with a one-timer after a pass from Frigo, Robertson then scored with a hidden long-range shot to make it 3-0. Catenacci injured off the ice It was only after the break that the Bulldogs brought the solid defensive work that is so characteristic of Suikkanen's game onto the ice, but this was also due to the fact that Bozen was now letting things slide a bit. Dan Catenacci had the best chance in the middle section, but a little later he twisted his knee in a duel and had to go to the locker room early. His place in the parade block was taken by Anthony Bardaro, who - just like Simon Pitschieler - was used in rotation as a supernumerary striker.

In the final third, it was thanks to Brett Findlay that the Foxes kept the scepter in their hands and didn't have to worry about victory. After strong preparatory work from Ivan Deluca, who recorded two assists that evening, the in-form Findlay first scored to make it 4-0. Kevin Macierzynski and ex-HCB defender Matt MacKenzie with a hammer shot then destroyed Andreas Bernard's third shutout in the seventh ICE game. The Kalterer goalkeeper even had to reach behind himself a third time when Stefan Häußle directed a shot into the net unstoppably in the final minute. Findlay had already made everything clear with his second goal. The Canadian used a nice pass from Frank to make it 5:2. Defense is being upgraded The turbulent final minutes, which are likely to be particularly bitter for Andreas Bernard, who was otherwise convincing today, have shown that the league leaders now have to concentrate all their strengths - also because the Innsbruck Haien, the next dangerous opponent, will be visiting the ice wave on Tuesday (19.45 p.m.). . Then another new addition will at least provide some relief for Bolzano. The club is expected to announce the signing of another defender in the next few hours. More about it here!
