Ambri-Piotta 3-0 Bern
The game – After the 3-4 defeat in Davos on Sunday, the SCB bosses panicked and fired their two-time master coach Kari Jalonen. A decision that even Martin Plüss criticizes. «It has a major impact in the long term. The team has benefited from Kari, should be able to solve the problems themselves, »said the ex-SCB captain, who won the 2017 Jalos championship in the MySports studio.
–
Hans Kossmann is in gang for the first time in Ambri. He cannot score goals, let alone prevent them. But after finishing building a garage in his home in Vancouver, Kossmann had just time to step in at the SCB. The change of coach didn’t work for the time being.
–
You can’t blame the team for fighting. But you couldn’t do that even under jalons. But coherent actions can hardly be made out. “We want to play with confidence,” said Kossmann before the match. Nothing can be seen of it.
–
The Bernese disaster begins when Ambris Noele Trisconi hits SCB defender Calle Andersson with the stick in the face and receives four minutes penalty. It is not new that the Bernese struggle with the majority. And promptly: After a misunderstanding between SCB goalie Tomi Karhunen and Eric Blum, the defender knows only to help with a foul. The advantage is gone. And with four against four outfield players, Ambri managed the 1-0 after 39 minutes.
–
There would be enough time for the turnaround. But then the champions concede two goals in one minute in the last third. First Bianchi meets in a curious way, then Matt D’Agostini decides the game in the majority.
–
The SCB slipped to 11th place. On Saturday there will be an important duel against the Tigers. (A.)
–
The best – Luca Cereda (Ambri): The coach hires his team extremely well after the bitter bankruptcy in Rappi.
–
The plum – Jan Mursak (Bern): The Slovenian caused the penalty for the 0: 1 with a bad pass. Sits outside at 0-3.
The game – On November 15, 2019, the SCL Tigers climbed to a playoff spot with a 3-1 win against SC Bern, which they have successfully defended since then. In the end, however, the lead on the line with seven bankruptcies in nine games melted quite a bit. After losing points, Emmental are already in 9th place behind Gottéron. So the motto before the derby weekend against Biel and the SCB is clear: points are needed.
–
Therefore, the Tigers want to put pressure on the home game against the Seeländer, who are not yet all line-worried, from the start. They do this successfully for 24 minutes, but without achieving anything that can be counted. Then Captain Berger directs a Lardi shot into the goal for the deserved Langnau lead.
–
65 seconds later, top scorer Pesonen fails with his penalty to Biel goalkeeper Hiller. Just like fellow countryman Elo, who appears twice in front of the guest goal and fails both times. Only thanks to their almost 38-year-old goalie are the Biels not beaten after 40 minutes.
–
When the Tigers managed to get the second goal (through DiDomenico) eleven minutes before the end, the preliminary decision seems to have been made. But: The referees cancel the supposed 2: 0 because of a goalie handicap of Pesonen. So the tremors continue in the sold-out Ilfishalle. Until Harri Pesonen clears everything with his 17th goal of the season three and a half minutes before the end. Langnau stays (at least) another night above the line. (C.S.)
–
The best – Chris DiDomenico (Tigers). The tireless driver delivers the template to both gates.
–
The plum – Beat Forster (Biel). Before the decisive 0: 2 first too offensive and then too slow in the backward movement.
The game – Lugano needs a start-up time of 20 minutes to get going after a game-free week. During this warm-up phase, the Ticinese scored three goals. Goalie Zurkirchen is not entirely blameless, who does not seem to be saddled with two Ambühl goals. From the second section, Niklas Schlegel is in the box – and he spends a quiet and short evening. Davos collapses completely under the pressure now applied, loses the overview in his own zone and is finally dominated and punched out by Klasen & Co.
–
In the final phase, the Graubünden rear up a bit, but are no longer dangerous for the convincing Ticino. Suri makes everything clear early with the usual shot into the empty goal. The HCD loses two games in a row for the second time this season. And on Sunday the Cup final is waiting in Lausanne against the aggressive Jurassians from the Ajoie.
–
The best: Walker (Lugano). Plays himself out as a sniper, which suits him well. Plus the template for Suris 5: 3. Knotless.
–
The plum: Du Bois (Davos). The defense chief seems disoriented with two goals conceded.
The game – In the duel between the leader and the last and the respective substitute goalies, a question will soon arise: Will Zug’s goalie teen Luca Hollenstein hold his first NL shutout? The answer beforehand: No. The Lakers initially neglect the few, but certainly good chances. They fail at Hollenstein or the post (Schlagenhauf, Profico). Because Zug’s dominance is not reflected in goals – SCRJ-Bader shows strong parades – they have to tremble for two minutes after the connection goal – until Lindberg makes the preliminary decision. (N.V.).
–
The best – Lindberg (train). Once pale, now striking! The closer the playoffs get, the better he gets going.
–
The plum – Clark (SCRJ). If you get such opportunities against the leader, you have to use at least one.
The game – The Zurich guys had probably noticed that Lausanne has the worst power play in the league. In any case, they afford many punishments. The first one works fine. Very good even – Pius Suter puts the guests in the lead with a shorthander. The Peltonen team also does not punish the second and third expulsion of the Zurich team – the equalization of Holm falls if there is a tie.
–
But when Noreau has to get out at the beginning of the second section, it takes revenge: men meet after 50 minutes and 54 seconds of unsuccessful overpowering game by the Vauds, who wear a special, white World Cup jersey in the duel of the World Cup cities. Having got a taste for it, after Suter’s 22nd goal of the season, Lausannes also uses the next ZSC penalty. And again it is gentlemen who sets to 3: 2. That’s enough to win in the racy game because the Lions only hit the bottom edge of the crossbar with a deflector from Chris Baltisberger. (A.A.)
–
The trend: Lausanne has now won four of the last five games and broken away from the dash region, while the Lions have lost four out of six games.
–
The best: Yannick Herren (Lausanne). The Valaisian, who will play for Friborg from next season, redeems the LHC with his two Powerplay goals and now has 12 goals.
–
The plum: Christian Marti (ZSC). The Vaudois use his punishment to score the winner.
–
Gates: 8. P. Suter (Roe) 0: 1. 20. Spar 1: 1. 22.Men (Moy, Frick / PP) 2: 1. 39. P. Suter (C. Baltisberger) 2: 2. 42. Men (Almond / PP) 3: 2. 60. Grossmann 4: 2 (into the empty goal).
