Tame wolves are subject to Asiago

It was an encounter that had already taken place countless times on Italian soil – Pustertal against Asiago. But on Sunday evening the two veterans met for the first time in the ICE Hockey League in the “Odegar” stadium. However, a game followed that did not do justice to this stage. In a sometimes slow game, the Wolves lost 2-3 against the Stellati. Pustertal only did something for the game in the third third, but by then it was already too late.

After the successes in the last few weeks, due to the takeover of interim coach Phil Horsky, the Pusterer upswing took a hit. It was unimaginative Wolves who were on the ice in Asiago, especially in the first two thirds. Although the Stellati are now known for their destructive style of play in their own stadium, it was they who increasingly held the reins. Canadian Allan McShane in particular did what he wanted with the Wolves.

But shortly before the end of the second third, Simon Berger gave hope again with his 3:1. This marked the start of the race to catch up. Suddenly the Wolves wanted to go again and scored the next goal through Bardaro. But a strong third wasn't enough to deny Asiago victory and the Wolves had to return home defeated.

The highlights at a glance The cold shower Just 5 minutes after the start of the game, Asiago took the lead. Salinitri behind the goal finds McShane, who puts the puck over Sholl's shoulder from two meters into the goal - 1-0 (5th). Asiago doesn't have enough The Wolves can't get McShane under control. Once again it is the Canadian who undermines the Pustertal defense by holding the target behind Sholl's goal and passing it to Finoro, who gives the Pustertal keeper no chance - 2-0 (33rd). Mcshane outnumbered Things are coming in quick succession for the wolves. Once again it is McShane who makes the hearts of Puster fans ache. The 22-year-old shoots the puck at the Wolves goal when he is outnumbered and it is unfortunately deflected into the goal by a Pustertal defender's skate - 3-0 (34th). The 4th line is alive It took a disastrous substitution from Asiago to bring Pustertal back into the game. Together with Spinell, Berger sprints 2 against 1 towards Vallini's goal. With a strong wrist shot into the left corner of the cross, Berger initiates a possible comeback – 3:1 (39th). Sholl holds and holds It was the goalie who kept HC Pustertal in the game. After a penalty against Glira, McShane, Salinitri and Co. hammer shot after shot at Sholl, who is always there (50th). The HCP sniffs the balance The next step is in the power play. The Wolves constrict Asiago and press for the goal. Bardaro takes matters into his own hands and sends the puck unstoppable under the bar – 3:2 (52nd). A disallowed equalizer The wolves cheer, but the referee disagrees. Baldaro finds an abandoned puck in front of the goal and pushes it over the line, but the action had already been whistled off (57th). The Foxes were able to celebrate in the divided South Tyrolean ice hockey country. HCB Südtirol won the top game against Red Bull Salzburg 1-0 ( here go to the match report). This means that the ICE Hockey League is taking a longer break. The Foxes will not be back in action until November 15th as guests in Villach, while the HCP will host Klagenfurt on November 18th.
