A victory in Asiago! The cracks of the EC Bregenzerwald have dreamed of this since 2017. But the first six duels with the Venetians were lost, in some cases it even set the forests badly clapped.
It was not until the seventh attempt last Saturday that the Venetians won 4: 3. Now neo-captain Felix Vonbun and his men have obviously smelled a fuse and want more.
The best thing to do is to get more points today (8.30 p.m.) in Canazei, the venue of the Fassa Falcons. But that would not be a premiere, the forests won two of the five appearances in Canazei, most recently in March with a 3-1 victory. “Getting points with the Italians is always difficult, but we travel to Trentino with a lot of self-confidence”. says ECB trainer Markus Juurikkala.
Today’s task of the EHC Lustenau should be a lot easier. Opponents EC Kitzbühel had to go into extra time in the first two games, one game was lost and one was won. “We have to be patient and force our game on the Tyroleans”, top scorer Chris D’Alvise knows the recipe for success for his team.
