Goal and penalty festival: HC Bozen is letting it rip again

One goal each against Klagenfurt, Fehervar and Salzburg: HC Bozen's goal scoring machine was in economy mode recently. Now the Foxes have struck again in a big way and swept the Vienna Capitals off the ice with a score of 6:2. As a result, the Talferstädter team clawed their way back to first place in the table. In the parallel game, HC Pustertal narrowly missed the big coup against Red Bull Salzburg.

The Foxes started off on the wrong foot against the Viennese guests, who are currently unable to play home games due to a cooling defect in their own stadium, as the score was 71-0 after just 1 seconds. Then the Bolzano engine ran like clockwork.

For the Foxes, who played with mourning due to the death of Christian Kasslatter (Hannes Kasslatter's father), two fourth-line cracks stood out. Daniel Mantenuto and Angelo Miceli played like they were unleashed and scored twice each. The HCB also underlined with two powerplay goals why it currently has the second-best power play in the league.

The only downer on this Tuesday evening: the many penalties. The referees, who didn't always seem to be on top of their game, handed out no fewer than 105 penalty minutes, 59 of which were attributed solely to Bolzano bad boys Mike Dalhuisen (he was expelled once for ten minutes and later for the entire game) and Scott Valentine (he had to take a shower early). ). The highlights Cold start, but then... Bolzano missed the start, Vienna struck: Lukas Piff scored from the slot after just 71 seconds. But then Bozen turns things up: Daniel Mantenuto (after Angelo Miceli's great pass) and Mike Halmo with his 12th goal of the season adjust the hierarchy in the starting third. Not in the mood Bolzano's hothead Mike Dalhuisen wants to box with Jeremy Gregoire and throws down his gloves, but the Viennese isn't in the mood for it. Five power minutes The Foxes decide the match within five minutes. First Miceli eats up goalie and defender in one with a wonderful puck control (24th), then Vienna's poison dwarf Rafael Rotter has to go down for four minutes - and Mitch Hults (cross-corner shot, 28th) and Dustin Gazley (nice move, 29th) screw it up to 5 :1 high. Valentrain Unnecessary action by Scott Valentine, who puts an opponent on the ice with a bad check. For this, the Bolzano Defender is sent into the shower. Shortly afterwards, Vienna reduced the score to 2:5. It hits and flies In the final third, Mike Dalhuisen puts the lid on it with a blueliner (51'). Although: He still had one in stock. In the last seconds he clashes with Sascha Bauer, is sent into the shower and celebrated by the fans. The match against Vienna was the start of a series of home games in Bolzano. The next four games will all take place in the Sparkasse Arena, the first of which will be against Villach on Sunday at 18 p.m. Meanwhile, HC Pustertal will face Graz away on Friday, with the game starting at 19.15:XNUMX p.m.
