Serie A2 Škoda: The semi-finals remain exciting

(4) HC Gherdeina - (1) HC Neumarkt Riwega The victory in Neumarktner's third game made things exciting again between the winners of the regular round and HC Gröden. Although Grossgasteiger held on from another planet on Wednesday, Kostner's team ultimately suffered a defeat, which Pellettier inflicted after 16 seconds in extra time. Nevertheless, the Ladins played on an equal footing with the Lega Cup winners and once again demonstrated that they have what it takes to reach the final. To do this, they must use the opportunities presented to them more effectively on Friday in front of their home crowd and at the same time cannot afford to make any more mistakes in defense. Then there is a good chance that they can move ahead in the series to 3-1 in the fourth game against the Unterlanders. Neumarkt, meanwhile, has gained a lot of self-confidence after Wednesday's win and is now looking for an equaliser. It will be interesting to see who Coach Wilson will prefer in goal. Rizzi held strong in the Würth Arena, which is why it can be assumed that he will be preferred to Pichler. In attack we once again saw the same knitter that made the fans ecstatic in previous seasons. Caprioli and Alex Sullmann have served their bans, while Saurer and Donati still have to wait another round. Demetz and Perna are absent due to injury.

(3) HC Eppan Sparer scaffolding – (2) Hockey Milano Rossoblù Two teams on equal terms face each other between Eppan and Milan. There is no other way to explain why the last two games went into overtime. In the second match, the Überetscher retained the upper hand after a penalty shootout, while in game number three Pikkarainen redeemed the Milanese after an exemplary counterattack after 66.16 minutes. One can therefore assume that the fourth meeting will also be very even. In the third game, Milan was able to gain a slight advantage on the ice, but the brilliant Demetz in the Pirates' box kept his team in the game. The Überetscher were unlucky when Röggl shot against the post. Now the Mensonen team goes in front of their home crowd, where the HCE wants to equalize in the series. If Loikas returns to the first line after recovering from injury, then Eppan will certainly have one more weapon in the attack. The defense, which has to play two more games without captain Ceresa, did more than well. On the other hand, Milan, who also have a well-functioning defensive formation and can count on a Terrazzano in top form in the post. The Milan goalie even celebrated a shutout in the third game. The power play needs to get better, because in nine situations with one more man on the ice, Milan didn't score a single goal. The Pirates will be missing Ceresa and Eisenstangen, while they hope to be able to use Loikas, while Milan will see Caletti return to the team.
