The anxious question is currently on the minds of all fans
Graz99ers: Can be a top goalie
Max Lagace
in time for the final start against
HC Pustertal stand between the posts again?
The 33-year-old Canadian had to face in the third semi-final game
Fehervar AV19
injured in the adductors. In the first moments after the incident, an early end to the season even seemed possible. But the all-clear quickly followed: the injury turned out to be less serious than initially feared.
Quick way back to the ice
Lagace started intensive therapy the day after the diagnosis – and apparently made rapid progress. He ventured back onto the ice for the first time on Monday and was even back in team training on Tuesday. The days without playing after reaching the final were beneficial for him and enabled him to regenerate quickly.
Nevertheless, a stake in the first final game on Wednesday (April 14th) remains open. Sports director
Philip Pinter dampens expectations compared to the “Kronen Zeitung”: “A stake is completely open and will only be decided shortly before the game.”
Do the 99ers focus on safety?
The crucial question now is: Are the Graz99ers taking a risk – or are they going for the safe option? Because with a replacement keeper
Nico Wieser reliable support is available. Wieser impressed several times this season and also showed a strong performance in the decisive semi-final game in Fehervar.
