Most recently, Gottéron had set a club record with ten wins in a row. The Friborg team did not come any closer to the Lugano record from the 1988/89 season (15) because they dived with the SCRJ Lakers on Friday.
Is the broken streak of success a problem for Christian Dubé’s team? No. Because no hockey player is asked at the end of their career: How successful were you in the fall? Spring triumphs are what really matter, titles. Setting a club record may be nice. But you only remember that when a Gottéron team wins game after game.
Even Lugano’s record team lost the last game of the season, the final against Bern. And everyone knows that the Friborg team with the super Russians Bykow and Chomutow from the 1991/92 season, which previously held the club record, did not become champions either.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that the Dubé team is dreaming of their first championship title
already have to remove make-up. Anyone who can win ten times in a row in this league is sure to have a lot of quality.
Defensive storm with offensive power
The dragons have a lot of depth, especially in storms. Seven attackers have already scored five or more goals. The series with Samuel Walser, Mauro Jörg and Nathan Marchon, who is not primarily responsible for the offensive, but has already scored 17 hits, is impressive.
With the American Ryan Gunderson and Königstransfer Raphael Diaz, Dubé now has two experienced defensive patrons who boost the game. The defensive concept is also convincing.
And then national team goalkeeper Reto Berra is also in goal if he doesn’t get a breather, as he did recently in Rapperswil.
No playoff series won since 2014
The leader also proves its class against the tough Ambri. The muddle that had manifested itself the day before after ten wins against the Lakers has evaporated again.
And with two power play hits in the starting third, the course is set quickly.
Has Friborg even found the master mix? In any case, the euphoria on the Saane is great. The well-developed BCF arena is sold out again. There have been eleven wins in the last 12 games. However, it will not be billed until spring. And since 2014 (against Ambri) Gottéron has not won a playoff series.
