With the victory against the Moser Medical Graz99ers, HC Tiwag Innsbruck – the sharks set an exclamation mark. You see yourself as a midfield team and are better than the bumpy start of the season suggests.
After seven season games, the Tyroleans are only two season wins. With five points you are currently ranked 12th, one point in front of the Pioneers Vorarlberg. A against the Graz99ers they ended a four -game series of defeats and were able to offer very handsome ice hockey in phases. Goalie Matt Vernon in particular finally got a good day again: he defused 58 of the 60 Graz goal shots.
Haie-boss Günther Hanschitz knows exactly where he is his team, should you bring such achievements regularly: “Our place is in midfield. With a performance like against Graz, this is also possible. You shouldn’t forget that the Steirers are financially playing in a completely different league,” said Hanschitz towards the “Kronen Zeitung“In the weeks before, there was also criticism of the goalkeeper from Hanschitz, but after the gala performance against the Murstadt, the HCI boss found words of praise:” His catch rate of 97 percent was really great. He has to give us the chance that we can win games. “
Too bad: Only 1,800 viewers watched the 3-2 victory in penalty shootout. This appearance hopes to lure more people to Tiwag Arena again. But now the HCI is going to be abandoned for the first time: the sharks at VSV and Laibach will be visiting the next weekend.
