Gin-Servette HC – EHC Biel 1: 5
The game: EHC Biel started the game with a swing, with a lot of spirit and in the given circumstances very brave. Following the Corona breakup, Biel is operational again, but the ranks have shrunk considerably (Captain Fey also sustains an injury in the warm-up). As for a possible direct qualification to the playoffs and a spot in the league’s top six, Biel can only triumph in the final streak.
The initial superiority recalls the profitable run that Biel had put on ice before quarantine. This dominance gives Zeeland countries some chances and soon a double majority. But those 102 seconds with two more men on the ice become a breaker because you forget the maximum principle of the aggressor: No shot, no goal. You want to combine puck with sophistication in goal, but with tricky passing you always get stuck in the tightly staggered Geneva reduit. As soon as the Servettiens have five again, Rathgeb shoots at the goal from a distance due to a lack of passing stations. A wrong world.
In the event of a numerical tie, Guinevere later demonstrates how to prepare a shot. The standout Tömmernes clears the standout Omark at the right post and now has an empty goal in front of him. Well done, but it has a flaw: Omark pushes the puck into goal from an acute angle with his left skate. The referees hit after the usual study of the images on the grounds that there was no intentional kicking movement. A question of interpretation? Omark actually gives the puck propulsion with the skate, and according to a majority understanding of the rules, this corresponds to a kicking motion, even without intention.
After that, Biel gradually increased the pressure and very patiently worked more and more parts of the game. And degrees. But for a long time they are not absolutely necessary. It is despairing. The bulwark in front of Servette Descloux’s goalkeeper only collapses when Beat Forster comes into the limelight as a center forward in the 58th minute of the game and does so with force. The compensation divides Geneva into individual parts, after which all the dams are broken. Where once every inch was defended with vigor, now the rooms open. In less than two minutes, Biel scores four more hits. In short: five goals in 112 seconds.
The direct path to the playoffs is now very easy for Biel, at least mathematically: you can’t score fewer points than Servette in the last round on Monday. (DK)
The best: Forster (Biel). A great idea of the knight’s sword. Break the goal stalemate with the draw.
The plum: Vermin (Servette). He loses his orientation before Rathgeb’s shocking blow and only protects the free ice at the crucial moment.

ZSC Lions – Lausanne HC 0: 2
The game: The Zurich team still needed a point to secure a playoff qualification without outside help before the last game. The easiest way to get to a point? Play zero. As a result, the Lions minimize any risks and strain the defense, which is decimated because another defender, Canadian Maxim Noreau, is injured (probably only for a short time).
This creates an intense fight. The teams do not give anything. The duels are fought with a knife between the teeth, the legs move like hamsters on a wheel, the body and the stick are great.
Opportunities are very slim and the Lausanne team is getting small advantages. And the doors? They take a long time to arrive. When a 0-0 and extra time became evident and thus the Lions’ playoff qualification, Lausanne attacked. After a head-to-head win, the target comes to Tim Bozon, who hits with a direct shot. Incidentally, the Swiss-licensed Frenchman knocked the ZSC out of the playoff positions in the final round with Servette two years ago.
The Zurich team is still trying with six outfield players and without a goalkeeper, but also concedes the second goal. Your overly discouraged appearance takes revenge. Now they have to shake to the end. The decision will be made on Easter Monday. The Lions play in Langnau. (Mr)
The best: Tim Bozon (Lausanne). The ZSC scare strikes again.
The plum: Ryan Lasch (ZSC). The American, who was signed as a scorer, owes a lot.
Tear: 58.Bozon (Barberio, Jooris) 0-1. 59.Bertschy (Malgin, Emerton) 0: 2 (towards the empty goal).

SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers – HC Lugano 0: 5
The game: Sure, Lugano has a career, it’s THE team of the last few weeks with nine wins in the last ten games. But you don’t have to make it so easy for the bianconeri. With individual errors, the Lakers invite Ticino to score goals. Before 0-2 defender Jelovac loses the puck. Arcobello scores two minutes later for the shorthander as he intercepts a pass from Forrer on the blue line. Before the 0: 4, Vukovic and Jelovac are clumsy in front of the house, and Jelovac is not far from the next goal – nor too far from the scorer. The SCRJ is missing a shooter on the ice with a sick Cervenka, and with Coach Tomlinson (sick, no crown) that one from the gang.
The best: Suri (Lugano). Always an asset, he crowns his performance with a goal and an assist.
The plum: Jelovac (Lakers). You cannot eliminate their susceptibility to errors.
Tear: 2. Walker 0: 1. 21. Fazzini (Josephs) 0: 2. 23. Arcobello (SH!) 0: 3. 33. Zangger (Suri, Morini) 0: 4. 39. Suri (Morini, Wellinger) 0: 5.
