It is also often said that a good slap does good, that it has the art of putting ideas back in place. This is what the Genevans hope severely corrected on the side of the Tissot Arena by a formation of Biel which gave him a good lesson …
To tell the truth, when you climb on a ladder, won by the euphoria, beware, because in this championship made of turns and mirages, you will inevitably meet the same ones on the way down, who will have the knife between their teeth with this energy despair that gives you that strength to avoid falling.
Often it only takes a test of conscience, a click or a grain of sand in the machine, a goal dropped at the right time, a second, then a third for a match to turn. . There was, this Friday evening, on this ice of HC Bienne full of promises between two clubs which trust their succession with inevitably these errors of youth which one erases over the meetings. Above all, there was a team from Zealand that urgently needed points after having suffered nine defeats in ten very motivated outings, like a wild Damien Riat. Faced with Genevans who remained on two avoidable defeats after seven successes in a row, Rajala and his friends knew how to seize their chance in the third third, scoring three goals in four minutes between the 42nd and 46th. What return a game that the Garnet had yet mastered so far, even if there were some warning signs that did not deceive at the end of the second period. The Eagles who had missed out on Tuesday at Les Vernets against Lugano, had returned to where it hurts, but it lacked everything else that had made their strength, a game plan that ended up shattered in the final third .

It’s disappointing in the turn of the game. I did not like how we entered and the way we behaved in the second third. ”Simon Le Coultre (7th) had however given a goal in advance before Marco Miranda (18th) equalized at the end first third. But it was then that the house of cards collapsed. “I felt that we were not going to get out of it by playing like this, leaving so much space,” continues the Quebecer. It was not our way of playing. And Bienne took the opportunity to surprise us on the other hand. ”The chef sighs, aware that his young people are still learning, despite the return of Daniel Winnik. “The problem was us and the solution is up to us to find it,” added the boss. It was our last two games that I had already detected bad habits. We will have to tighten our elbows and work harder. It’s all well and good to try stuff when it’s fun, but there you have to come back to simpler things Bienne gave us a good lesson in hockey tonight, but now is not the time to panic. “Nothing like a stuffed toy, this Saturday night at Les Vernets, to get your smile back …
