What is even better than in the Playoff oft-quoted “ugly” goal, not a brilliant move, yet a wonderfully accurate shot, but some kind of diverter, a Gestocher, possibly even something not Wanted? Exactly: two “ugly” goals. As the Lausanne-Langnau shortly after the game 1:0 in the lead went, that was an ugly thing, because a harmless light-this was shot Benjamin Antoniettis because of the upper leg of the long-Auer defender Samuel Erni to the praise of SCL-Goalie Damiano Ciaccio.

And the 2:0 of the Canton of Vaud was made of Emmental point of view, really ugly: 40 seconds before the end of the middle third, to a veritable pinball goal, in which the Puck within seconds canes, heads, and elbows on the floor and players, but also ice Skate blade and the post twice touched before Joel Vermin pushed him finally over the line. Is “ugly”? Hardly.

The care in Lausanne at the end, of course not. The LHC won, because he defended well, shots blocked, in the own Zone is a disciplined, but more troublesome adversary. Knows Langnau, the SCL won games Tigers, for their part in the qualification again and again, now they were running on an opponent’s defensive construct.

And then you shoot you myself …

It was for the 6000 spectators in the sold-out Ilfishalle a correspondingly viscous matter, in the first, on both sides of the caution reigned, it was not but also to the gates of a long time, really spectacular.

A scene in the closing stages summed up Langnaus evening in ten seconds: From a Slapshot from teammate Benjamin Neukom on to hit leg, because he wanted to take the opposing Goalie in the Slot, the point of view of delivery, Nolan Diem with pain, his face twisted in the direction of the gang. But he quickly turned back, gritted his teeth, finished the Shift. The use of it was not so, but the Puck jumped rarely for the long-Auer.

but There were also unnecessarily Annoying for the Tigers. After the 0:2 as well as in the middle in the final third, as his Team is desperate for the goal sought, picked up Chris DiDomenico penalties, because he is provocations personal bills paid. When coaches and players talk to each of the small things to make it right, then the Canadians did a lot wrong and robbed of valuable time in the race to catch up.

but It was also DiDomenico, who opened 161 seconds before the end by a shot from a tight angle to 1:2 shorter (finally a beautiful goal) and a wild final phase, with the chaotic scenes prior to the Lausanne gate. And when it was all over, the LHC celebrated 2:1 victory, took the complaining canadian a game misconduct penalty – genius and madness were as close to each other. (Tages-Anzeiger)
