Olimpjia Laibach will be a test of character for the HCB

The home game against the bottom team from Slovenia will be a kind of test of character for the HCB cracks. If they achieve a clear victory, this could mean a turnaround. However, if they leave the ice as losers for the fourth game in a row, consequences would be necessary. In the end, not only were the results lacking, but there was also a lack of team unity, which was the great showpiece of the Bolzano team last year. Some players sometimes lack the right attitude. The 23 goals conceded (out of a total of 55) with one less man on the ice also bear witness to this. In contrast, there is a success rate in the power play of just 12,66 percent.

The problem soon seems to have been found: the White-Reds always manage to outgrow themselves against supposedly top teams, while they reveal great difficulties against teams from closer to the table. The defeats against Dornbirn and Innsbruck serve as the best examples. Coach Simioni is at least partially to blame for this, as he has not yet been able to instill in the team the unbridled will to win and assign a clear game system. The home game against Laibach comes just in time to refute these criticisms and at the same time gain a large dose of self-confidence.

Before the game on Tuesday, Mario Simioni is still worried about the use of John Lee, who is suffering from a minor muscle injury. Meanwhile, the guests from Slovenia have to make do without Rok Leber, Andrej Hebar and Gregor Koblar.
