    SCRJ defender Igor Jelovac takes a two-minute penalty for his foul on Abdelkader, the Zuger gets away with it for his swallow.

It is this one moment when Justin Abdelkader makes the wrong decision. SCRJ defender Igor Jelovac, whose stick is still between the legs of the US striker, hits Abdelkader with the glove on the chin. Instead of paying it back hard, simply standing still or smiling provocatively, for example, the EVZ foreigner lets himself fall theatrically.

The referees fell on the swallow of the ex-NHL striker (Detroit, 804 games) in (50th minute), only Jelovac received a two-minute penalty. Abdelkader gets away with it. Timo Helbling, ex-EVZ warrior and now MySports expert, has a clear opinion about this campaign: “This is absolutely ridiculous for me. And disrespectful to our league. He’s coming to Switzerland, doing something like that, in the playoffs. A giant swallow. “
