The Black Wings let the butter be taken from the bread – 3: 5

It always hurts to lose – but in a match of the chances awarded all the more. “The start was far too easy for us, we didn’t have the bite that we awarded us at home,” analyzed Andreas Kristler, ice hockey striker of Steinbach Black Wings, the 3: 5- (3: 1, 0: 2, 0: 2) defeat in the fifth semi-finals in Klagenfurt.

Rightly noticed after early 3-1 lead, which Julian Pusnik (2nd), the Engerl of the KAC-icon Sepp Puschnig, Brian Lebler (5th) and Niklas Bretschneider (14th) had shot out with his play-off premiere goal.

If the “red jackets” had been given five goals in the third third in the Heidi-Horten-Arena, which was sold out for the 17th time in a row, they could not have complained. However, the Linz, who had traveled without the sick defender Gerd Kragl, dated to make clear conditions promptly. That should take revenge brutally.

Back to the wall

Now the EHC is in a 2: 3 deficit in the best-of-7 series like against Graz with his back to the wall, the Carinthians have two matchpucks to the final (against defending champion Red Bull Salzburg). “We have to tick this off, will cut everything in and compensate for”, Kristler announces a violent reaction for game 6 on Sunday (5.30 p.m., LiveTicker on Nachrichten.at and Puls 24) in the “witch kettle” Linz-AG-Eisarena.

All 4865 tickets were out of print within two minutes. “Our hall makes everything out, the mood is incredible,” emphasized Wings President Peter Nader, who firmly believes in a turn.
