extension. As in the last Playoff Match (the game 7 in the League qualification against the SCRJ Lakers). But this Time, not a big grief to a goal. But the great joy. Although Kloten had gambled away a 2:0 and won by the “geek” in Langenthal 3:2. None of the Stars scored the Goal, but a “Small”, in the truest sense of the word. Ramon Knellwolf is only 1.68 m tall, in June, he is only 21 years old. He’s not had his best night on Friday.

But when it was important, he was ready. Kloten was in the extension rather more pressure than the long one Thaler. But then, the Moment the fourth line with Monnet, Knellwolf, and Lehmann provided for discharge came. A shot from the blue line were not able to behändigen the langenthaler Defensive and Goalie Wüthrich. Knellwolf showed courage and conjured up the disc almost from zero angle into the goal. The game 69:11 minutes. And the Klotener could but still cheer in a Match that had become suddenly tight.

As of the EHC was started well in this Playoff opener. One second after the end of the first power plays Füglister scored the 1:0. Were played in 156 seconds. As Sutter scored the 2:0, had shown two “problem children” that had remained since January, below expectations, that they were for the Playoff ready. Kloten had played the Match in the handle, up to 30. Minute perfect – with one very important exception: The many good opportunities that opened up for the EHC, all remained unused. Or a hit (from Monnet to 3:1) was not given because of a kicking motion. Even two minutes in double the number of supernatant, the Team, led after 40 minutes, still without a counter hit.

Hard attack to go unpunished

But had shot still only two goals. That was too little. This would in a home game. But not in Schoren. The first hit of the long-Thaler, a deflected shot was. After that Obrist had two excellent opportunities, it is Monnet’s not-given goal and a further penalty against Kloten, which was very a surprise for a lot followed. The last Powerplay in the 60 minutes used Langenthal by Kelly. Also Kloten had an excess of opportunity. But the game with a man was also on Friday night is not mandatory. For Knellwolf was in the right Moment brave enough to try a shot.

The victory Kloten was deserved because the team had due to the many uncertainties on foreign ice. You pulled your perfect game, but they did not bring themselves. Coach André Rötheli had to get on early with only six defenders. Steiner was hardly had stopped Langenthals Coach By Hanberg his team in the Timeout to a more physical game, Rytz a Check on the ice Bang, which is guided in any of the regulations as proper action. The two referee saw nothing. The fit to the appearance of the Referees.

Kloten a continued yesterday, two of the Winterthur reinforcements. Guerra in defense, Wieser in the Offensive. Guerra received a Bircher, Weber and Seydoux go first. The Klotener success of the only away victory was at the quarter-final start. Otherwise, the Friday evening was one of the favorites. Kloten has brought this success, at least in the track, the performance was significantly better than the week before. On Sunday it goes on.
