The Moser Medical Graz99ers is currently not going well. Last weekend they wanted to score well with the table laggers, but in the end you went home with fewer points than desired.
The defeat in the morning pint game followed a bitter defeat in Innsbruck on Saturday. There you only conceded the equalizer six seconds before the end and then had to give up in the penalty shootout. Even though the Styrians showed offensive what they were made of. 60 (!) Shots were fired on HCI goalkeeper Matt Vernon-but he caught a very good day and only had to reach two times.
It was all the more important at the end of yesterday’s success with the Pioneers Vorarlberg, but you also had to push overtime in the country – if only very short. Just 18 seconds after the Faceoff, Lukas Haudum made the decision in favor of the Murstadt residents. Sports chief Philipp Pinter is relieved: “You must not treat yourself to a break in this league. It was the expected hard fight. The game in Innsbruck did not go by without a trace, the uncertainty has been felt a bit. Now we have to strengthen the self -confidence of the players,” said the Carinthner to the “Kronen Zeitung“. Let’s take the points with you, now the focus is on the upcoming tasks.
The Styrians contest the next encounter at home and receive ligane euling Ferencvaros Budapest there. A “Away Game” will follow the Vienna Capitals on Sunday before the two Carinthian clubs came to the second duels the following week.
