Wolves' liberation strike fails to materialize

The 2:5 is the next bitter setback and another defeat that could have been avoided with a different approach. The bankruptcy means that the HCP now has to carry the red lantern. HC Bozen also suffered a defeat on Sunday afternoon.

In Vienna-Kagran, the local Caps, who went into the clash with a weakened substitute, were a lot more disciplined. The 5th ICE encounter with the Donaustädters showed some parallels to the past, as the Wolves once again found hardly any means against the defensively well-organized home team. A mild breeze had been blowing in the attack of both teams until the end and this time too it wasn't exactly a playful treat.

In the first third, the Wolves showed ice hockey as a way to get rid of the habit: the guests repeatedly weakened themselves through carelessness and lack of discipline. But anyone who thought that a turnaround would take place after the first half-time tea was far mistaken. It was only in the final period, and therefore quite late, that the Mair men got access to the game after Aaron Luchuk's goal. The highlights Early waddle After 11(!) seconds, Max Zimmer courageously moves in front of the Pusterer goal and skillfully puts the puck into the net after Jake Smith's generous rebound. The HCP then has to carry out primarily defensive tasks. Same key The 2-0 is only a matter of time and is achieved after a nice combination from Lukas Kainz from close range (27th). Preliminary decision Things move too quickly for HC Pustertal in the 43rd minute: After winning a running duel, Jeremy Gregoire plays to Sascha Bauer, who takes the pass directly at a psychologically important point in time. signs of life The Wolves finally show some pleasing forechecking and Aaron Luchuk hits the crossbar with a hammer halfway through the final third. Final action Towards the end of the game, things get high again: After Anthony Bardaro lets the Black and Yellows smell the morning air, this hope is quickly nipped in the bud with a shot into the deserted Puster goal. HC Bozen also suffered a defeat on Sunday. Next Friday, both local ICE greats can “rehearse” and make amends in Salzburg (HC Bozen) and Linz (HC Pustertal) for the big South Tyrolean derby on Sunday in Bruneck.

Wolves' liberation strike fails to materialize

For the fans of HC Pustertal it's currently a hair-pulling game: After a performance that was more than annoying in the first 40 minutes, there was nothing to be gained from the Vienna Capitals on Sunday evening either.
