HC Gherdëina continues to wait for Rittner Buam

On Thursday evening, HC Gherdëina played in an exciting derby against the Rittner Buam, which ended with a defeat, but offered many interesting scenes. The encounter took place in the Pranives, a well-known ice hockey arena, where the fan base had appeared from both sides to cheer out their teams loudly.

The game showed from the start that the Buam was determined to continue their dominance. Nevertheless, the HC Gherdëina had some moments that could have overturned the game. At the beginning in the first third and the first chance, Ethan Szypula almost hit the guests, but his art shot only landed on the crossbar. A few minutes later, the BUAM came to the first goal of the evening in the PowerPlay through a precise shot from Alan Lobis, and the deficit for Hcg.

a look back at the game

In the following two thirds, it was the team of Rittner Buam that won control over the game. Not only could they dictate the pace of encounter, but also effectively react to the pressure situations during the game. While the HCG had problems maintaining the defensive basic order, the Buam managed to make the rooms tight and to launch dangerous counterattacks. This was particularly clear in the 3: 0 by Markus Spinell, followed by another goal by Manuel Öhler, who scored his second goal of the game and thus increased the leadership of the hosts.

The furie of the HCG could not be discouraged. A long shot from Jordan di Cicco briefly brought hope back when he shortened the result to 1: 3. But the momentum quickly turned back in favor of the Rittner Buam, with a new goal from Öhler, who set the last blow before the final third.

In the last third there was no upgrade from the home team. The HCG brought about a variety of attacks, especially in the power play, but Colin Furlong, the goalkeeper of the Rittner Buam, made some remarkable parades that were crucial to secure the victory for his team. Despite another hit by Leo Messner in the 54th minute, the defeat was sealed.

In addition, several other games took place in the Alps Hockey League, including the basement duel between HC Merano and the EC Bregenzerwald, which ended 1: 3. It was particularly bitter for the Adler Merano that they conceded two goals directly in front of the chewing siren, which turned out to be decisive for the game. The daily summary of the games shows the developments in the table and the still difficult situation for HC Gherdëina. They are now in the penultimate place, while the Rittner Buam are still at the top of the table.
