It’s not an exaggeration to say that the ZSC Lions are well after half of the qualification still a construction site. Seen in this way, it makes sense that the start of the year against the Lakers, a man kept the Overview, the completed by the way, an internship as a foreman: Tim Ulmann managed in the 23. Minute the only goal of the Afternoon, with a wide shot of the gang, the Rapperswil-Goalie Melvin Nyffeler’t saw that one coming. It was in the ninth game, already the fourth goal for the Captain of the farm team GCK, which is working to launch his career with 31 again.
“So many journalists, we don’t have a GC,” he said with a grin, as he had to stand in front of the ZSC-cabin – of reporters surrounded – question-and-answer. Or was allowed to. The light-heartedness with which it occurs on the ice, do the Lions good. “That I must accept a leading role, will certainly help me,” he said. “Here, I can just sit inside and try to give my Best. In the case of GC, I am one of the older players and as a Captain, the Whole tear.” Because Reto Schäppi is disabled because of his attack on Julien Sprunger two games, may Ulmann now play twice on his ancestral Position as a Center. Against the Lakers he came on for a good ten minutes of ice time.
Shore wanted to keep the way
The game is simple, for energy concerns, and no goal allow, is the primary his Job, he revealed. And if he was still a shoot, the better. Actually, the farm team would be there as a stepping stone for younger players. However, with Ulmann and Sweden’s Victor Backman have now established two veterans in the case of the ZSC Lions.
Meanwhile, look Ulmann from game to game, back man, front of the hand set at the ZSC. Because sports chief Sven Leuenberger confirmed the departure of Drew Shore to Kunlun in the continental Russian KHL. Zurich would keep him as a hedge, but Shore really wanted to get away, after he had been ousted from Backman. Leuenberger is in search of an additional foreign Center. Preferably a creative.
The Lakers, I thank you!
A game designer can use the Zurich is also good. Because your game is the element of Surprise is missing. Apart from the closing phase, as a Christian Marti, Fredrik Pettersson and Pius Suter missed the empty goal, they came up against a well-organised, but stuffy Lakers hardly to opportunities. Backman has from time to time, good moments, but to him the necessary momentum. Roman Cervenka won’t be back until mid-February. Against the upstart it was also the fourth victory in the fourth duel. 2:1, 1:0, 5:2 and 1:0 were the results, Lukas Flüeler celebrated in the hall of the stadium the first season Shutout.
But back to Ulmann, the grateful Joker. On Christmas day he played for GC, on Friday against Biel he pulls back for sure the ZSC-Dress. Whether he is on Saturday in Bern, too, don’t know it yet. And what happened to him in the long term, not. His internship as a foreman in a 50-percent workload lasts until April. He is usually in the office business, responsible for cost, personnel and Material. His contract in the ZSC organization expires at the end of the season.
Still, he could never permanently in the highest League. In 2013, he joined as a GC-Topskorer to Lausanne, but then he was loaned to phase again into the NLB. He has no agent would, according to the latest flight of fancy happy again with a NL Club to sign? He grins. As the saying goes: It is never too late to pursue his dreams. (Tages-Anzeiger.ch/Newsnet)
