EC Red Bull Salzburg – Steinbach Black Wings 1992 2: 3 (overtime)
Matt McIlvane (EC Red Bull Salzburg head coach):
… about the game: “We played a better game than the last one, but Kickert was very good. We started well but then we lost the line a bit. We could be more competitive if we had been more organized. We have to keep working and develop tactical things better. We do not play as a team. We had moments where everything was great, but not all the time. Sure there are several reasons if you don’t win. That may also depend on me. I have to look in the mirror. We have to find a way out of there together. “
Thomas Raffl (EC Red Bull Salzburg):
… On the game: “It was clear to us in the last games: we have a young team and we still have a lot to learn. In a game like today, we try to win the game by doubling or breaking, only with individual performances. We have to play in a compact team and then that will bring us back to success. Think offense when you’re on defense – you can’t win big games like this. “
… on the current situation due to Corona: “We are happy when we can play. We can consider ourselves lucky. Every player knows how to do it, we have a routine and we are not doing it for the first time. Up and down, this is the best sport. You just have to make sure you keep the drops as small as possible. “
Pierre Beaulieu (head coach Steinbach Black Wings 1992):
… On the game: “After five losses in a row, every point is a step forward for us. Today we won both points and I am very proud of my team. We play very well in the neutral and defensive zones. David made very good saves and we played as a team. David Kickert is the best goalkeeper in the league in my opinion. We show mental strength. “
David Kickert (Steinbach Black Wings 1992):
… on the game and his performance: “I felt good, we fought and it’s great that we were able to get another victory, especially against a super troop like Salzburg. Fortunately, it seemed better in the end. The guys got on really well together and that seemed good to us today. “
Gregor Baumgartner (Managing Director Steinbach Black Wings 1992):
… On the current situation: “It is a challenge for the entire league. For us it is important that if the players are fit, we will always compete. We have the opportunity to play two games and I see it positive. When teams are in shape, they should play. Now we are healthy and we want to continue in this direction. “
… on a possible later course of the season: “You cannot plan anything in these phases, but when the clubs, coaches and players are all willing to do a lot so that we can play an ice hockey season. Whether to change it or not, I don’t care. It is important that we play, even if the spectators are not allowed to enter the hall en masse, they watch the games in front of the TV. Then we can offer them ice hockey and we will not lose them as fans for times to come. “
Christian Feichtinger (Managing Director of the ICE Hockey League) at the first third break:
… on the current situation: “Our concept of prevention – we call it the back-to-game protocol – is absolutely effective. This protocol has been developed precisely for this case, which we now have. The league has spoken out in favor of testing beyond the officially required scope. If you do a lot of testing, you are also likely to get more positive cases than if you don’t. Thus, we all strictly adhere to our guidelines. According to the regulations, the games could have been played, but we removed them from the program anyway. Precisely these measures and this approach have led to the fact that, after the increase in cases this week, we have canceled games or postponed to a later date and we let the teams that are one hundred percent ready to play compete against each other. “
… on a possible ICE lockout: “We are far from a lockdown and will do everything we can to avoid a lockdown in our league. and play all the games that can be played, even if it means that we have to postpone the games to a later date. By canceling the activities of the national team, we got ten more match days. We are confident that we will be able to return postponed games to our league operations as soon as the other teams are fit to play again. Of course, we have no influence on the virus in our league countries or on the official requirements, but we can guarantee ice hockey fans one thing: together with our coaches, players and club officials, we will do our best to make sure we play this championship to the end. and that on the last day of the match we can deliver the Karl Nedved Trophy to the captain of the team that won the last match. “
Bernd Brückler (Sky Expert):
… On the Black Wings’ performance and victory: “I wouldn’t say they deserved it, but Linz had the best ending for himself. Especially the top ranks of them seemed a bit exaggerated. A very good David Kickert was the support. Today he was strong as a bear. In the third period he was very good and kept the men in the game. There is still room for improvement, but they are more stable in their system and stick to what the coach says. This is how you can beat a team like Salzburg. “
… On the current situation of EC Red Bull Salzburg and the third consecutive loss: “You are far from what you can call. That’s a hangover for this team. He shouldn’t lose more than two games in a row to get back on the road to victory. “
… on current game plan changes and a possible course of the season: “The league is doing a sensational job. That we play, that ice hockey is present, that we can even be here. Also, of course, the clubs that are so flexible and want to play ice hockey. I think the league will do everything in its power to make sure there is a champion at the end, perhaps in a shortened format. This year is a little different. We have to get used to it, it will be like that for some time. We can be happy that ice hockey is being played. “
