The sixth derby between Lausanne and Friborg produced a sixth victory for the Dragons. A 3-2 success at Malley which allows Christian Dubé’s men to get away from the bar.
The parade against the Lions
Among the immutable things, we can say that the Earth is round, that the water is wet, that the ice is cold and that Friborg is beating Lausanne. The results of this regular season are impressive. In six games, the Dragons have found the parade against the Lions six times. Never in its history has Gottéron managed to take the best six times in front of the same opponent.
And no need for a magic wand for Christian Dubé. All it took was a healthy defensive discipline, a little selflessness and a hint of luck. But an induced chance. When, for example, the Friborg people found themselves in numerical superiority for the first time in the 30th, they did not complicate their existence by finding the fault by Desharnais after a very good pass from Julien Sprunger.
This 2-0 Freibourgese had the gift of adding lead to the Vaudois shoulders. Already frustrated after Gunderson’s opening in the 20th, the Lions seemed to mark the occasion.
Embodiment of serenity
Frustration was also felt on the Lausanne bench with a City Peltonen who shuffled his lines during the third third, as if the Finn was trying to find the right formula at midnight minus one. The Vaudois ended up scoring a goal in the 58th thanks to Bertschy who caught a puck in the air behind Berra. But the Dragons were able to take two goals ahead in the empty cage.
Within the Friborg collective, it was rather serenity that transpired over the meeting. And there is no doubt that the embodiment of serenity is called Reto Berra. Always solid in front of his line, the last bulwark of the Dragons has done its job with style. The two successes conceded at the very end of the match, that of Kenins intervened one second from the last siren, did not change anything.
And Friborg to afford a four-point safety cushion on the helm and on a CP Bern more than ever under pressure.
