Caps head coach Constantine: “Perhaps our best first third of the season!”

On Friday evening, the Vienna Capitals won 4-3 against HC Falkensteiner Pustertal.



Comebacker Jérémy Grégoire scores twice in his first game after an injury break (4th/PP1, 9th). Ex-Caps attacker Rok Ticar shortened the score in the eleventh minute. The Viennese increased in the middle third after a hammer from Nelson Nogier (36th). The guests equalized in the final third with a double strike within 76 seconds: Henry Bowlby (43rd) and Ticar (44th) scored. Linden Vey scores the winning goal for the Viennese in the 50th minute. The Caps decide the season series against the Bruneck team. With 52 points, the Viennese are eighth in the table. On Sunday the Capitals will meet HCB Südtirol Alperia in the STEFFL Arena at 5:30 p.m.

Statement Kevin Constantine, head coach of the Vienna Capitals

“We got off to a great start. It was perhaps our best first third of the season. We expected them to come back improved from the break, they also briefly controlled the game in the middle period, but as the third continued we played very well again. Nelson’s goal was very important for us, so we were fortunate to go into the final third with a two-goal lead. The fact that it was suddenly 3-3 was a bit of a disaster. We played so well, it wasn’t fair for that “The game was suddenly tied. Linden’s goal was elementary at that point. We spent more time in the offensive zone than I’m used to. That could also be because we were almost full on offense. He did a good job with his two goals.”
