A Teenager makes the ZSC despair

When it was all over, the players were gone in the cabins, sounded in the hall, the stadium, the soothing sounds of Bob Marley's "Three Little Birds". This Song is the hard core of the ZSC-Fans in the spring, in the placement round of singing. With the Refrain: "Don't worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Much of it is actually good for the ZSC Lions , they are, for some time Leader. But their form curve currently has a steep slope to the bottom. You have lost in the championship three out of four Games. The 3:6 in the Cup against Ajoie, and even four out of five games.

Against Servette was the third season, duel is a extremely tough. The Geneva are one of the big Surprises of the autumn and, thanks to a 2:1 in the indoor stadium just three points behind the Lions. The team knows exactly what it is doing, led by the grizzled NHL veterans, Wingels, Winnik, and Fehr, the list is no Masterpiece, but at evening and your performance. This time, Winnik, was the key figure in the Offensive, with the gates to the 1:1 (14.) and 2:1 (43.).

Mayer's nasty attack

the man of The match was the 19-year-old Goalie Stéphane Charlin, the in the 34. Minute his National League debut. This is because Mayer had been sent for a fist-blow to the head Krügers with five minutes plus duration of the game in the cabin and Descloux's hurt. A nearly five-minute Powerplay against Charlin would have been for the ZSC Lions the perfect opportunity to draw the game when the score was 1:1 in their orbits. But there are only a few little convincing resulted in shots wide. And the longer it is, the safer it was Charlin. He resisted all 23Schüsse to his goal.

The ZSC Lions sought their second goal only in the last ten minutes with the necessary vehemence, but the Puck no longer jumped for you. Suter, of the early 1:0 (4.) had achieved to be leaving, especially the extended Powerplay after the Geneva goalkeeper castling. "When a Goalie comes in and is cold, you have to test him really," he said.

The people of Zurich the matter of course the attack goes off at the moment, she had been awarded for a long time. In the last four Games they have scored only six goals.

The recipe to score more goals, be simple, so Suter: more pressure on the opponent's goal. The shot ratio was against Servette 37:21, but often someone who took the opposing Goalie's view, or a ricochet would have been able to exploit was missing.

Also Rikard Grönborg missing in front of the gate, the "urgency", he said. Against Servette has done for the Team this season in the Offensive particularly difficult: In three duels, it has brought only three goals.

It also helped that Kruger was in the third section, on the ice. He had played after the punch Mayers and went to the second break normal back to the Bank, went out again, before the game went on. Suggesting that he might have suffered a concussion. Grönborg had no understanding for the attack Mayers: "We are always talking about how important respect is. But that was totally disrespectful. I expect a long lockout."

The HCD lashes up

it Continues for the Lions today at the HCD, the roars from behind like an Express train. What relates to the points per game, are the Grisons for a couple of laps of the Leader. "Nice to see how well the Davos play," said Grönborg. "And we show how much fresh ideas can make a difference."
