National League: DiDomenico wins with Freiburg against Langnau

The Canadian diva spent six years at the Emmental, a rising hero, a crowd favorite, and a charming figure at the same time. In 2017, he left the Tigers in the middle of the relegation battle, isolated from Ottawa in the NHL. And yet a year later I was accepted back with a kiss on the hand at Langnau. But time and again the striker faced manager Heinz Ehlers. Until “DiDo” was fired last season before the relegation battle, which never took place due to the virus crisis.

If the first meeting had taken place in Ilfishalle in front of an audience, there would have been whistling and fury. At 14 minutes, “DiDo” has to go to the penalty bench after a spectacular flight (drink). 17 seconds later, Langnau leads.

But DiDomenico made up for his misstep in the first third, deflecting a shot from Gunderson to make it 1-1 five seconds before the break. And then he verbally messes with his former colleagues. “He has an emotional character to him, even a little crazy on ice,” says Dubé.

Langnau is the best team, unlucky with four (!) Shots to the post. The Tigers convert a 1: 2 to a 3: 2 and are up to 90 seconds before the end. Then Gottéron turns the game around. “DiDo” is written in the ice for both goals and introduces the winner of the game into extra time. Bitter by Langnau.

Tore: 14. Brannström (Glauser, Maxwell / PP) 1: 0. 20. (19:55) DiDomenico (Gunderson) 1: 1. 26. Walser (Bougro) 1: 2. 46. Dostoinov (P. Berger, Diem ) 2: 2. 56. Maxwell (Earl) 3: 2. 59. Lord (Gunderson) 3: 3. 61. Gunderson (Gentlemen, DiDomenico) 3: 4.

The best: Ryan Gunderson (Gottéron): Always present. If the 3: 3 wins, the winner shoots.

The plum: Ben Maxwell (Tigers): He could have become the hero with his goal. But then he awards the winning goal in extra time.

The game: Only 1000 fans are allowed in Les-Vernets-Halle. But their protest was enough to scare referee Stricker when Berne defender Mika Henauer puts forward Vermin del Servette on the ice with a full check. Look against the head, Stricker reports, and sends the puzzled-looking young man from Berne not to the penalty bench, but to the shower. A difficult decision to understand.

The Genevans don’t care. They use the 5-minute penalty against the 20-year-old, who has so far been one of the discoveries of the season, to get ahead of Fehr. Goalkeeper Karhunen is defeated for the first time after 145 minutes and 12 seconds of being undefeated (including the cup match against Davos).

Even if Guiners called for help, they didn’t steal the victory. He leads the finest sword, extends the lead, can count on Descloux’s support for a long time and in Eric Fehr he has a man who runs cold and hits four times. (Mr)

The objectives: 12. Fehr (Omark, Winnik / PP) 1: 0. 21. Fehr (Tömmernes) 2: 0. 36. D. Riat (Omark, Rod) 3: 0. 52. Berger (J. Gerber, Heim) 3: 1. 56. Fehr (Winnik, D. Riat / PP) 4: 1. 56. Fehr 5: 1. 57. Andersson (Jeffrey, B. Gerber) 5: 2. 59. Jeffrey (Scherwey) 5: 3.

The best: Eric Fehr (Servette). Even if Omark claims glamor and magic, its four (!) Goals, of course, cannot be beat.

The plum: Yanik Burren (Bern). The defender is too easy to play at 0: 3. In his apology, however, it can be said that Damien Riat does a great job.

The game: A win and three points and a hat trick (more) from Julius Nättinen for Ambri. And a dwarf rebellion: the Austrian snaps up four assist points after a cautious start to the season.

But now to Nättinen. The Finn is already on Tifosi’s waiting list for the local hall of fame. Two power play goals in the copy paste process, Zwerger throws from left to right, then Nättinen throws straight. If you could have it in your head as an opponent, it wasn’t that long ago that Zwerger served Kubalik in the same way. The far north enforcer enjoys escort even on his third attack, because ZSC Captain Geering cannot choose between man and zone cover. In the middle, Fora also hits with a treacherous long-distance shot (view blocked).

After Roe’s lead (clean singles performance before 1-0), Zurich has a chance to extend the lead: Reto Schäppi is alone against Conz, but only lands a harmless blow. When Ambri controls the target, it only takes a few seconds for Nättinen’s first hit. Zurich can do better, at least that’s what the stats say: Until this game, they had the second-best deficit in the league.

In the last stretch Ludovic Waeber (17 goals conceded in the last 160 minutes of the game) is replaced by Lukas Flüeler. But that does not change much in the appearance of the party. Symptomatic: The 100 seconds, doubled in number, which pass without incident. The ZSC Lions are in a little crisis.

The disadvantage for Ambri: In the 34th minute of the match, Marco Müller was injured in a clash with Dominic Zwerger. The forward does not return to the ice.

Tore: 24. Roe (Andrighetto) 0: 1. 28. (27:33) Spectacular (Zwerger, Hächler / PP) 1: 1. 28. (27:58) Fora (Grassi) 2: 1. 32. Spectacular (Zwerger, Müller / PP) 3: 1. 37. Spectacular (Flynn, Zwerger) 4: 1. 48. Simic (P. Baltisberger) 4: 2. 58. Spectacular (Zwerger, Flynn) 5: 2 (ins Leere Tor).

The best: Nättinen (Ambri). Bring everyone. It would probably also hit from the wardrobe.

The plum: Schäppi (ZSC). He misses the opportunity to make it 2-0 very lightly.
