Holiday on Ice – the Steinbach Black Wings approach Christmas Eve in a very family-like manner and with a lot of fun. No wonder following the ninth home win in a row, the 3-2 following extra time once morest leaders Fehervar. US defender Logan Roe became the match winner, sinking the target following exactly 62:20 minutes for the celebrated final score.
The optional morning training on December 24th will be an exhibition run by the cracks in the presence of their partners and children. Something like this strengthens cohesion and gives strength for the tasks ahead. The next puck hunt is on the program on Tuesday, December 26th (5:30 p.m.). After the expulsion of their top legionnaire Brady Shaw (“internal incidents”), the “sharks” of HC Innsbruck are swimming a bit toothlessly into the Linz AG ice arena, where the record number of visitors for this season was set on Friday with 4,057 fans.
It was correspondingly atmospheric in the stands. “Victory, victory, victory” and “The EHC rules here” chanted the supporters following the happy ending, which might no longer be expected in this form. Because Fehervar arrived with six successes en suite and an extremely broad chest and was leading 2-1 until 76 seconds before the supposed final siren.
But then Linz, for whom Kilian Rappold had meanwhile equalized to make it 1-1 (36th), struck back with the courage of desperation. Andreas Kristler scored with one more field player – because goalie Rasmus Tirronen had already cleared his goal – to make it 2-2 (59th).
That was deserved, as was the extra point that Roe scored. “We are really strong with our fans. It was hard, but we never gave up,” said Kristler, who moved to second place in the table with his colleagues in their Christmas outfit.
There is also a smell of an increase in points once morest Innsbruck. The Black Wings have won the two duels of the season so far – 3:2 following extra time away and 3:0 at home. Things can continue in this key.
