Preview | The Buam under pressure for the final, the HCG on the road

The Buam are under pressure to act. In the best-of-three series against Asiago in the final of the Italian Cup, the cracks from the high plateau lost the first game on Tuesday evening 0-5. The second final game is already on Thursday - and the Rittners are burning for compensation. Even then, they will be missing four important players due to injuries: Dean Tudin, Adam Giacomuzzi, Philipp Pechlaner and Kevin Fink. Nevertheless, the Buam intend to force a third final game. “We will act defensively and wait for counterattack opportunities. With this style of play we eliminated HC Pustertal in the semi-finals and this concept also worked against Asiago for almost two thirds. We will mobilize all our strength once again and try to strike back in our own stadium,” says sports director Adolf Insam, setting the course. HCG has its sights set on a top 12 spot Meanwhile, HC Gherdëina has two away games in the AlpsHL on the program with Feldkirch and Kitzbühel. The HCG definitely wants to score points in these, because there is a chance of getting into the top 12 and thus a place in the pre-playoffs. Feldkirch has recently been in a form crisis and has lost all of its last six games. The people of Val Gardena are already slightly favored against the second-to-last team from Kitzbühel. The same applies here: Val Gardena has it all in its own hands. Stadium collapsed: shock for the Broncos The Wipptal Broncos suffered a terrible setback. The roof of the Sterzinger stadium collapsed on Wednesday morning due to the heavy snow load ( SportNews berichtete ). Luckily no one was injured, but the material damage was enormous and the stadium could probably no longer be saved.
