Sweet classic with a bitter aftertaste

HC Bozen ensured clear conditions on the ice. With 6:1, the South Tyroleans lost out to their old rivals from Asiago. As successful as the evening was for the Foxes in the venerable and sold-out Odegar Stadium, the aftermath could be bitter.

Top defender Mike Dalhuisen injured his foot shortly after his opening goal and had to be escorted off the ice. If Dalhuisen's injury proves to be serious, it would be a bitter loss for the Foxes in the upcoming hot phase of the season.

On the ice surface, however, there was only something to criticize in the starting third. The South Tyroleans gave their opponents (too) many options. Because there was an outstanding Sam Harvey in goal (94,4% catch rate), the Foxes survived the home team's pressure phase almost unscathed. Nevertheless, the game was open until Daniel Frank's goal (he made it 3-1). Only then did the people of Bolzano clearly and clearly hold the scepter in their hands. After the injury-related withdrawal of the strong Asiago goalkeeper Gianluca Vallini, the Foxes made up half a dozen and remain close to leaders Innsbruck by winning the “Grande Classico”.

Asiago HCB Wild start Things get off to a turbulent start in the Odegar Stadium. Harvey has to parry after a few seconds, and Asiago remains in control even after that. Bolzano scores the goal: Dalhuisen shoots, after video study the goal counts – 1-0 (9th). Salintri then runs alone towards the HCB goalie and fails. Dalhuisen injured Shortly after the HCB's opening goal, a bitter moment followed. After a check, Dalhuisen sinks to the ground and has to go to the cabin. According to initial diagnoses, the Foxes defender was hit in the right ankle. The second Bozen goal by Miceli, who used a rebound in the power play, is a blow in the neck for the Stellati (2th). Harvey is as strong as a bear The HCB goalkeeper is in focus several times as he makes strong saves. McShane has a huge chance, and Castlunger finally scores the goal from close range and under Harvey's arm (26'). The HCB quickly adjusts the balance of power. After a strong action via Halmo, Gazley failed due to Vallini's outstanding reaction (31'). Then Frank hits the second post to make it 2-3 - the remarkable preparatory work came from Miglioranzi. Bolzano increased In the final third, Asiago was initially unlucky when goalie Vallini had to go out injured. The fourth HCB goal by Mitch Hults (4st), who scored after a long shot, also caught substitute Fazio - but he was able to continue. The 51:5 for the Foxes results from a dream combination between Frank and goalscorer Thomas (1rd). Frigo scored the final point (53th).
