Captain Raffl woke up the team following a bitter defeat in Belfast with a speech in the dressing room. Black Wings have the second best shooter.
With the 1-0 defeat in Belfast recorded in the final seconds of extra time, Salzburg’s hopes of reaching the round of 16 of the Champions Hockey League have finally been dashed. The mood in the dressing room was correspondingly depressed. “After the game everyone was very frustrated and down. But then the captain spoke,” reports striker Luca Auer. The tenor of Thomas Raffl’s speech was: It still has to go on and there is a lot to learn from the lost game.
EC Red Bull Salzburg continues on Friday (7:15 p.m.) in Linz. The Bulls want to continue their winning streak in the domestic ICE Hockey League and storm back to the top of the table. “We’re expecting a tough duel because the Linzers have played very well recently and won a lot,” explains top talent Auer, who has one opponent in particular in mind. “We know Brian Lebler quite well here because he played for us in the play-offs a year ago.” However, Graham Knott is even more dangerous. The Canadian is currently number two in the league with nine goals.
