Before that, place in the league. At kick-off, the English staff made no line-up changes since the victory in Nice (2-4), apart from the return in defense of Mathieu Pons. In goals, Mat Robson faces Czech 2010 world champion Jakub Stepanek. The locals took this jolt from the right end, Thomas Decock then Fabien Kazarine distinguished themselves by undermining the Grenoble goalkeeper from the first minutes, but the latter blocked. Then in powerplay, Anton Vasilyev came close to scoring his sixth goal of the season, but the young Russian found the Scudetto from Jakub Stepanek. Jyrki Aho’s men respond and give Mat Robson a job, who remains solid. French international Sacha Treille came close to scoring from a deflection in front of goal, but the puck went out of bounds. At the end of a balanced first third, the two teams started with full points.
Arrossamena releases the Bar
The second act restarts at the same pace with an Angloye who makes the match. Hormadi holds up more than a dragée, but still fails to materialize in powerplay against the Grenoble defensive area. Ditto in numerical advantage for the Isérois who stumble on a Mat Robson of the great evenings. Locals and visitors trade the puck. In the middle of the game, with the Angloys outnumbered, Oliver Dame-Malka tried his special again from the defensive zone, and he’s not far from hitting the target. In a key moment, Grenoble pushes, but Mat Robson sucks the opponents (37 stops on Tuesday night) to keep zero.
The Wolf Burners take control of the game at the start of the last twenty minutes, but remain rough in the last gesture. Anglet kills a penalty, throwing himself on the shooting lines of the red and whites, the young Hugo Baron and Théo Larroque sacrifice themselves to keep this score clean. In the powerplay, while Mat Robson made an early save, Finnish forward Markus Poukkula thought he had opened the scoring but had his goal disallowed for using his skate.
Then come the last two minutes of the game, and the angloy hero will be called Nicolas Arrossamena. On the power play, the last of the match, from behind the cage, Lionel Tarantino serves his line colleague Nicolas Arrossamena perfectly. With a single shot, the number 10 fired into Stepanek’s top corner to explode Barre (1-0, 58th) and offer the three points to Hormadi against the Grenoble army.
