In the 40th game of the season, the Eisbullen won a hard-fought home game against Znaim. But it took a long time before the McIlvane crew were rewarded for their efforts.
The Eisbullen went on the ice on Tuesday evening in front of their home crowd against Znaim in specially made jerseys, the sales proceeds of which go to the “Wings for Life” foundation. A competitive game developed from the start, in which the guests became particularly dangerous on the counterattack. But Salzburg could rely on their goalie JP Lamoureux. On the other side, Raffl and Co. fired shot after shot at the Adler’s goal. Flo Baltram took the deserved lead (10th). But instead of adding a goal, Znaim, outnumbered, equalized a minute before the first break. Sebastian Gorcik defeated Lamoureux on the counterattack with a low shot through his legs. The second third was like a storm and urge phase for Salzburg. The hosts stormed, but always found their champion in Znaim goalie Groh (3.86 goals conceded per game), who was in a good mood this time. That should change in the final section only five and a half minutes before the final siren. Znaim outnumbered and Ty Loney beat Groh to the long overdue 2-1 (55th). A little later, the US boy put the lid on, deflecting a shot into the net to make it 3-1.ICE Hockey League: Tuesday: RB Salzburg – Znaim 3-1 (1-1, 0-0, 2-0 ). Goal sequence: 1: 0 (10th) Baltram, 1: 1 (19th) Gorcik (SH), 2: 1 (55th) Loney (PP2), 3: 1 (59th) Loney (PP).
