The
Graz99ers are about to reach the finals
ICEHL – and that despite personnel concerns. Before game four of the semifinal series against
Fehervar AV19 Graz is already leading 3-0 and has a great chance to seal the deal today.
Three failures cloud the starting position
The Styrians had to accept personnel setbacks when they arrived in Hungary: two important players, Holzer and Koch, are still missing, and keeper Lagace is a third loss in the squad.
Nevertheless, the team has shown itself to be stable recently and has not allowed itself to be disturbed by setbacks.
Stapelfeldt is celebrating a comeback
However, there is positive news: Defender Paul Stapelfeldt returns to the lineup and brings additional stability to the team.
Due to the current squad situation, the Graz99ers will compete with nine legionnaires. However, as long as goalkeeper Lagace is missing, a tactical opportunity opens up.
Heading for the next sweep?
The starting position clearly speaks in Graz’s favor: with a 3-0 series lead, they already have all the trump cards in their hands. The 99ers already demonstrated their dominance in the previous round when they won
Villacher SV swept smoothly.
Now the next “sweep” could follow – and with it direct entry into the final.
