Bern – Servette 3: 2
Before the doubles round against Servette, SCB boss Marc Lüthi once again asked his employees to be happy. The fact that the players are unsettled after defeat series – the SCB has recently lost four out of five games again – triggers a head shake at the busy manager.
–
«The players have the privilege of professionally doing the most beautiful thing in the world. And they are still being paid well for that, ”Lüthi said recently in the“ Berner Zeitung. ”The fun factor is not particularly high for the CEO himself either.
–
After the 2-5 in the home game against Lugano, he reappeared in the cabin for the first time in some time on the last Sunday. With a sinister expression. Not a good sign. Neither for the players. Still for the trainer.
–
Lüthi’s mood should at least improve a little. Bern prevented the fall of the bottom line in the second duel against Geneva. Not more but also not less.
–
It is a tremor. As always. Bern leads 3: 1 after the first third. Earned. The Kari Jalonen team comes out of the cabin with more dedication and immediately develops dangerous opportunities. Jan Mursak replied to the Geneva equalizer with his first goal after eleven goalless games. And then the SCB also succeeds in the power play after the capes in the same discipline failed miserably on Friday with two more men – and Servette immediately achieved the game winner.
–
But the longer the game lasts, the more mistakes are made by the master. Geneva shortened immediately after a penalty against Beat Gerber, who again committed a foul in front of the referees.
–
Servette is no longer enough, although in the end the Grenats can still try to outnumber themselves. However, only Ref Michael Tscherrig knows why Tristan Scherwey is sent to the penalty bench.
–
“We played better in the first duel,” says Jalonen. “But victory is very important.” The Finn doesn’t want to know anything about pressure. “Print? It is the most beautiful time of the year. My job is to help the players. »It is certainly never bad if you agree with your boss.
–
The best: Jan Mursak (SCB). The much scolded Slovenian finally meets again. For the first time since November 22nd and the duel against Lausanne.
–
The plum: Henrik Tömmernes (GSHC). Own goal at 0: 1. 10 penalty minutes after 1: 3 for puck thresh away if the game is interrupted.
video-placeholder__desc">Zug shoots so nicely against Biel to the top—-
The game: Same affiche as the day before – with a rewritten script. This no longer provides for an offensive spectacle.
–
An important change in the starting position for the Bieler: The weight of the load on her shoulders has definitely decreased before this duel. The brutal series of ten cross-competitive losses (NL, CHL, Cup) has ended. The people of Biel leave no doubt that the reaction to this should be a further success.
–
But after the Zug 1: 1 nothing works for a long time. Because both teams never completely get rid of the susceptibility to errors in their own zone. The best chances are also due to chance, because the disc breaks. Martschini has the lead goal on the stick only seconds before the first break, but fails to goalkeeper Hiller.
–
The fact that they are still lagging behind does not take the focus off the Bielers. Because a possible compensation is always in the air, also because Zugers miss to extend the lead in over three minutes of Powerplay. Your inefficiency will be punished with a shorthander after Lindberg releases the puck.
–
But the Seeländer give the game out of their hands: Zug’s 3: 2 is only given after a video consultation, the unsuccessful Coache’s Challenge breaks up a fatal punishment for them. The final phase will be hot because the people of Biel will not be discouraged. Because they take out the goalie. And because the sticks tremble for the Zugers. But there is not enough more than the connecting goal.
–
The best: Klingberg (train). Always go where hurts.
–
The plum: District (Biel). Spends too much time on the penalty bench.
The game: A referee competition, in which an ice hockey game also annoyingly breaks out. But something like that too. The nervous and over-motivated head judges Lemelin and Dipietro try with all their powers given by the league to avoid a fluid, entertaining and dynamic game. A petty whistle with no discernible meaning, but apparently with the intention of somehow denting the damage caused by compensation decisions. In the first section, 14 minutes of punishment get stuck together, you can watch how Powerplay is practiced.
–
In the first break someone must have spoken a word of power: suddenly ice hockey is played. Unfortunately, almost everything that was previously prohibited is now allowed. The players need time to digest this. The Graubünden are more skilful. Surprisingly, they also appear more determined and witty and go to work with more verve than the people of Ticino. They desperately need points, but only look aggressive when the belligerent McIntyre, the fast-paced Bertaggia and the clever Klasen are on the ice. However, this line also conceded the deciding 1: 3. So much for that.
–
The bottom line? One section goes into the rush because of the refs. After that, the HCD shows more will to score three points. Ice hockey can be that easy.
–
The best: Corvi (HCD). Has a lot of tricks in stock. Shines with changes in pace, dribbling or simply with work in the back room.
–
The plum: Loeffel (HCL). Similar to the refs, not quite on the point. Slapstick-like bad pass before 0: 1, then permanently dispossessed.
The game: On paper, the game is actually decided before the first puck is inserted. Friborg has to do without seven injured or suspended in its narrow squad. And Lausanne comes to the Saane with a strong back, four wins in a row. Everything is going as planned. After 277 seconds, Yannick Herren booked for Lausanne and the game rippled until the Swedish newcomer Philip Holm lost the puck on the offensive to Marc Abplanalp and the counterattack by Killian Mottet out of the blue. Now Friborg believes in victory and Mottet mothballed Lausanne six minutes later. The people of Vaud try everything to the bitter end, but Reto Berra holds everything before Bykows brings salvation.
–
The best: Reto Berra (Friborg). Unbelievable what the Nati goalie thinks. The “sorcerer” owns more than half of the victory.
–
The plum: Philip Holm (Lausanne). Capital mistake of the debutant in the 1: 1.
The game: Revenge is sweet, Roman Cervenka must have thought. The Czech returns the favor to Ambri. As a reminder: The Lakers top scorer had caused a concussion during the last duel in Valascia Ambris Captain Mattia Bianchi with a check against the head, but was not blocked by the NL single judge. Ambri then brought the case to the association sports court on Christmas Eve, whereupon Cervenka was pulled out of the game for a game. The fine technician shows his best side when he returns to Ambri. In the 1: 0 score, which turns the game completely upside down, he has the stick in play. He prepares Kevin Clark’s 2-0 with a nice pass. He then scored the 3: 1 himself. The fourth goal of Corsin Casutt and Clark’s 5: 1 are also due to his storm series.
–
The much more efficient St. Gallen team have won their first victory in Ambri since October 2014 and are up to four points closer to Ticino before the next duel on Sunday (with one game less). After all, it’s not just about the fight for the playoff spots, but also about the tenth place that saves you from going to the playout final. For Ambri it is the fifth defeat in a row.
–
The best: Cervenka (SCRJ Lakers).
–
The plum: Nick Plastino (Ambri). Loses sight of Clark briefly at 0-2.
