Lucky bag HCP tames the green dragons

In the atmospheric hall on the outskirts of Bruneck, which was well filled with over 2000 fans, the Horsky team showed with a 4-2 win that their path could slowly be heading in the desired direction.

At the start of the game, the HCP appeared impressive offensively in what was probably the most beautiful venue in the league, while without a target they acted far too passively, as they did recently in Bolzano. The locals, especially the attackers, showed enormous improvement and played with a completely new, refreshing confidence and a lot of fighting strength. However, the green dragons from Laibach, who have to make a smaller financial impact this season, proved to be the stubborn and strong opponents expected. As the game went on, the Wolves increasingly improved their game and let their opponents feel their own technical superiority before they began to tremble slightly again towards the end of the game.

Many guest workers can learn a lot from the strong locals when it comes to mentality, especially Aaron Luchuk, who turned out to be a disembodied ghost who haunted the Puster offensive. However, special praise goes to “double packer” Anthony Bardaro, who once again showed that on good days he can decide games single-handedly, the three-time assist provider Dante Hannoun and the once again confident Jake Smith.

The highlights of the game Close to happiness After 3 minutes, Stefan Spinell can no longer reach the window after a rebound and it rolls over the line. On the other side, Jake Smith holds strong with his catching hand against the broken Ziga Pance (7th). Sniper time After a one-two with Dante Hannoun, Anthony Bardaro takes the lead with the first advantage. The home team then lets things slide a bit. Halftime action Things really get going in the second half of the game, as the second goal follows in the second power play: Bardaro is not tackled and hits the target under the gable (29th). A minute later, the otherwise pale Aaron Luchuk completed a nice combination via Hannoun and Olivier Archambault to make it 3-0. Ljubljana responds with a goal from the missed Miha Bericic. Tension again After Luka Kalan shortens from close range, things get exciting again for the tired Wolves. Filip Ahl makes everything clear at the end with a shot into the empty goal.
