Second victory thanks to Bollwerk Kickert

That was a true working victory – the Black Wings in 1992 delivered an open, sporty, not always high-quality exchange of blows with Graz and went 2-0 thanks to goals from Dragan Umicevic (48th) and Juha-Pekka Hytonen (60 ° / EN). Ice winner. After the 3-1 victory at KAC, ICE’s second game second win.

A strange picture at first: apart from Graz goalkeeper Ben Browns, the starting line-up was only made up of players who wear or have already worn the Linz dress: Mario Altmann, Kevin Moderer, Hunter Fejes, Oliver Setzinger and Joel Broda made up the first row of guests. . It is also curious that in a passionate ice hockey game it was until the 48th minute before the puck sank into the net for the first time. Both teams had maximum chances, but the goalkeepers, David Kickert again at Wings, had a creamy day.

In the stands, only about two-thirds of the 1,500 seats allowed were taken, and the view of the sparsely occupied VIP grandstand also gave an idea that the Linzers will end up losing a great deal of money here. Despite the masks, the atmosphere was good, the hallway shaking at the doors.

In the NHL, the Dallas Stars shortened the final series to the Stanley Cup with a 3-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning to 2-3.
