First of all, good scream came out of the guest cloakroom, then loud Beats, the one that jumped up as the door sounded filled in, also the gear. Out came Chris Baltisberger, with a Smile, he apologized for the Wait: “Sorry, I had to make the music.” Goal scorer, agitator, painstaking against players, cabins-DJ – Baltisberger played a variety of roles.

the music was taken care of in the Match the whole team. 5:0 of the ZSC in Davos, won the Team of the hour, which had previously won, including victories in the Cup against Lugano and Bern 13 of 14 Games. “Davos is currently the best team, so this game was very important for us, a real indicator, because we had recently had in big Games of trouble,” said the winger.

“fear of the

5:0-five goals to Lose,” the fact the people of Zurich really well, after the results had been in the championship last 1:2, 3:1, 1:3, 1:2 . And in the midst of this tiny lull, the Lions had placed this bad 3:6 in the Cup against Ajoie, a game that was in the NL-Leader against the sub-rate 0:5 behind.

That was last Tuesday, and no, you can not just like that as a slip-up ad acta said Baltisberger. “The way to think especially. We have analyzed it and came to the conclusion that it was a mental Problem, as we had been afraid of before you Lose.”

“We had to talk about the books and showed a very good reaction.”Christian Baltisberger

It was followed by the 1:2 at home against Geneva in the championship on the evening before the trip to Davos. Before the departure to the Grisons coach Rikard Grönborg asked the team to Team Meeting, called for the Swede more aggressiveness, especially when Forechecking. And what he wanted to Grönborg, he was in Davos – and much more. “Seen in this way, these two games were Bad not only,” said Baltisberger. “We had to talk about the books and showed a very good reaction.”

The Lions started to be snappy, to decide, in the first sold-out Davos stadium no start Furioso of the Grisons, and not wavered, even as the HCD was better in the game. The 3:0 lead after 40 minutes was crucial, the Grisons showed in the final third at all, for the first time ever in this season of decay phenomena. It all started with a hit, Chris Baltisbergers after eight minutes, it was such a typical thing of the ZSC-striker.

Because the phrase “Chris Baltisberger shoot a goal” in his matches, often incorrectly. Then, if he keeps his stick in the far shots of players, the Puck just slightly touches on what is not enough but mostly to irritate the opposing Goalies.

Practicing with the ball machine

He practice during the season practically on a daily basis and also in the summer – whether it be with shots of his brother Phil, or with a ball machine for tennis balls. This unassuming and yet so powerful ability, has earned him the place on the Powerplay. He may not there more often ran as a filigree technicians, such as Wick – Baltisberger game is in Excess of the only is always used in Zurich, is not a classic “Skill Player”, so there is no clear candidate for offensive roles.

At “normal” 5-on-5 Hockey Baltisberger plays in the 4. Line, where he went to work defensively and the Stars of the opponent, the nerves have to go. Both of which he did in Davos. That his goal came against the line with Topskorer Perttu Lindgren, pleased him particularly.

It was a good night for Baltisberger, where he also collected arguments for a new Treaty. Because his expiring contract was not renewed, in contrast to that of his brother, Roman wick or Severin Blind Bacher’s still.

Provoke to be tackled by yourself, dish it out, plugging it in, the part of Baltisbergers game, also because he was in Davos in the Element. “You have to know when you can what to do”, paraphrased it this role, but he did not forget to add, however, that he did exactly the opposite, as he placed before the eyes of the Refs on the floor in the face of an opponent: “A stupid penalty.” At the end, but waste, for Baltisberger scored at the end, especially this: “Our Gameplan went so right.”
