Will the HCP take the final step into the South Tyrolean dream final?

Fiat Professional Wolves – HC Alleghe Tegola Canadese On Tuesday at the Alvise De Toni Stadium, both teams offered everything an ice hockey fan could desire: five goals, fast-paced moves, thrilling duels on the boards and excitement en masse. As is often the case, individual episodes were decisive in the game, such as the fourth goal of the season from the promoted Persson, which made the final score 3-2 and thus the HCP's first match point.

The Wolves now want to exploit this in front of their home crowd on Thursday and thus complete the South Tyrolean dream final against HC Bozen. Alleghe, on the other hand, has his back to the wall. For Coach McKenna's team, a win is essential in order to avoid an early end to the season. The focus in game five will also be on David Ling, who led the Puster team to success on Tuesday with two goals. In addition to number 71, coach Kivelä can rely on a whole range of dangerous offensive players who can put the opposing goalie under constant fire - in this case Adam Dennis, HC Alleghe's hope. He has acquired this status with countless brilliant saves throughout the play-offs so far. While Dennis can be relied upon, a lot at Alleghe depends on the form of his strikers on the day. In particular, Adam Henrich and the Rocco-Hogeboom duo have already caused fear and terror in the opposing defenses on several occasions. Their quick counter-attacks coupled with Alleghe's typical aggressive style of play could also prove to be a recipe for success on Thursday.

Before the fifth semi-final match, HCP coach Kivelä is primarily concerned about the foreigner regulations. Between the posts he will probably give the trust again, while the decision regarding the field players will be a lot more difficult. Even captain Matt Kelly had to watch in the most recent two matches. Now it remains to be seen whether Kivelä will reshuffle the cards or act according to the motto “Never change a winning team”. Thomas Erlacher's suspension, however, has been reduced from two to one game day and he will therefore play in Brunico on Thursday. At Alleghe, however, the injured Mike Card is once again unavailable. Alberto Fontanive will probably return to the team after taking part in the warm-up training before Game 4.

The game between Pustertal and Alleghe will be broadcast on Thursday from 20.25:2 p.m. on the TV channel Rai Sport XNUMX. The encounter can also be viewed on the Internet www.raisport.rai.it can be followed under the link “Guarda in diretta Raisport Due”.
