HC Meran/o Pircher is 0-3 behind in the best-of-seven final series against HC Gherdeina valgardena.it. In order to extend the series, the Eagles need a win in Wolkenstein on Saturday. Alex Egger, who scored his second goal for Meran on Thursday, spoke about the current situation.
“We started the game well and created some good chances early on, which unfortunately we couldn’t take advantage of,” said Alex Egger about game three on Thursday, which Merano lost 2:6. “Towards the end of the first third, we conceded an unfortunate goal. In the second third, like in the game before, we had a brief misfire that shouldn’t happen and was ultimately decisive in the game. After the 5:1 and 5:2 we gave it our all again, but unfortunately it wasn’t enough in the end,” said the 21-year-old.
“We will give everything”
Being 0-3 behind in the first final series, so close to the big goal, of course hurts: “Of course it hurts to be 0-3 behind in the series with the goal in mind and after such a long journey. Nevertheless, we continue to believe in ourselves and will give everything. In the end, these short blips made the difference.”
Game four on Saturday (7:30 p.m./Valcome.tv) is now the first “do-or-die game”, but the South Tyrolean remains optimistic and believes in a turnaround: “We will give everything in Val Gardena – it’s a classic ‘do-or-die situation’. If we manage to play for over 60 minutes like we showed in games two and three after falling behind, then we definitely have the chance to turn the series around.”
