Before the derby: Bozen's series breaks against Linz

This season, HCB Südtirol and the Black Wings Linz caused a stir when the two goalkeepers, Niklas Svedberg and Rasmus Tirronen, got into a fight and had one of the rare goalkeeper fights in the stands and in the net cared for. Already ahead: The two goalkeepers remained well-behaved in their half of the ice today and only gave each other one or two daring looks. Nevertheless, the Swede played his part in the game in the Foxes' goal and saved 22 shots. But even he couldn't prevent Bolzano from losing 0-2.

Even without a fist fight, the goalkeepers were “unfortunately” the most impressive players on the ice, which had to do with the fact that the people in front of them did almost nothing for long stretches of the game. The game in the Linz ice rink was certainly not a feast for the eyes, which was also confirmed by the scoreboard, which didn't record a goal for a long time. It took 56.45 minutes until the siren finally sounded in Upper Austria - but unfortunately not in favor of the foxes. Matthew McKenzie's goal was well deserved for Linz, who successfully pressed for victory against a weak Bozen team in the third period.

The HCB obviously lacked the energy to get this game over the line. The players seemed tired and drained, rarely had high-quality scoring opportunities and can't complain about the defeat. The defense kept the Talferstadt team in the game for a long time, but things just didn't happen too often up front. The highlights of the game Attractive 1st third Both teams go into the first break without goals, but with one or two good chances. Linz controlled the game in the opening third, but the Foxes continued to impress with small pinpricks and a respectable defensive performance. The game is tiring After the attractive pace in the first section, the players' batteries seemed empty in the second 20 minutes. Neither Bozen nor Linz create first-class scoring opportunities and the opponents neutralize themselves. The slap in the face Linz takes the lead about three minutes before the end. Matthew MacKenzie shoots over Svedberg's shoulder into the Foxes' net to make it 1-0. Empty Net Emilio Romig hits Bolzano's empty goal across the entire ice to make it 2-0 for Linz This breaks the Bozen team's streak - the Foxes had previously won 10 games in a row. Glen Hanlon and HCB Südtirol now have to deal with this setback before the South Tyrolean derby against HC Pustertal. Nevertheless, the game on Friday (19.45:XNUMX p.m.) should be a celebration.
