Thank the fortress: Eisbullen returned to winning ways after three away defeats in a row with a 4-1 win against Villach. Two Thaler goals in 33 seconds.
The good news on match day: Genoway, who had recently been ill, was ready for the meeting with Villach. In addition to the injured Schneider, Captain Raffl (sick) and Murphy (during the birth of his child in Canada) were missing. In the hunt for goals, a new Nissner storm was created with Mario and Paul Huber. The champions emphasized from the start that they wanted to successfully defend their fortress after three away defeats. After an unpunished foul, Bourke grabbed a hold of Rauchwald and sent the ice bull onto the ice with a hook. But once again the puck didn’t want to get into the opponent’s goal. Villach was more dangerous and took the lead in the power play. It was the second attempt, at the first the Salzburg Coach Challenge was pulled because of offside. The referees also watched video of the next two goals. But Salzburg scored it – first Robertson, then Thaler with a hammer. And just 33 seconds later, the former Eagle was there again in the “infight” in front of goalie Lamoureux – 3:1! “We decided to come hard right away, to show who is in charge here,” said Lucas Thaler, not only beaming about the “special double pack” against the parent club. Who subsequently couldn’t find an answer. VSV coach Marcel Rodman: “We didn’t have the energy for a comeback.” Rymsha also had to score twice to make it 4-1: just 19 seconds after the no according to video evidence, the legionnaire netted again. Like Schilling (home debut), he delivered the best game so far in a Bulls uniform for coach Oliver David. “We worked very well and hard in front of both goals,” emphasized David, “the whole team did a great job.” Fehervar is already a guest at the ice arena on Tuesday.
