EC-KAC, second in the regular season, chose Hydro Fehervar AV19 in yesterday’s playoff pick. There are a few reasons for this, but the opponent is not underestimated.
The Red Jackets won all four duels of the season with the Hungarians: a 4-0 in the first meeting, followed by a 2-1 after a penalty shootout, a 6-3 and a 3-2 after extra time. Klagenfurt ended the season in second place, Szekesfehervar in 10th place, which was only fixed on the very last matchday in the derby against Budapest. In the pre-playoffs they prevailed against the Vienna Capitals despite being 0-1 behind. So you come into the quarter-final series against the record champions with euphoria.
The Klagenfurters know about Fehervars’ strengths: “The Hungarians are very good defensively, defended strongly, blocked many shots and ensured a clear view of the goalkeeper,” said KAC defender Clemens Unterweger to the “Crown newspaper“. The ice in the MET Arena could be an interesting factor: “The ice surface. In Fehervar it is very small. And in the power play they are extremely dangerous. It will be a physical duel.”
Game 1 is already waiting tomorrow, Tuesday, in the Heidi Horten Arena. The KAC will go into the opening game prepared: “We’ve recently been fine-tuning the tactics and the special teams. On Monday we’ll do detailed analysis.”
