National League on December 30: SCB finished 2020 at the bottom of the table

Four coaches (Kari Jalonen, Hans Kossmann, Don Nachbaur and Mario Kogler) were in the SCB gang in 2020. The Bernese were not successful under anyone. They won only 14 of 36 games. The lowest point? After the 3: 4 in the basement derby in Langnau, the SCB even spends New Year’s Eve at the bottom of the table. For the first time since the introduction of the playoffs in 1986. Sports director Florence Schelling smiles a quarter of an hour before the end of the game. Until minute 44, the Bernese are left behind, who after ten days of quarantine still have to do without eight regular players who suffer from Covid-19. They then change the game with two power play goals in 45 seconds, take the lead again after the Tigers tie again, but lose the game anyway. Although they could have made it all clear three minutes before the end after a playing error by Tiger Pascal Berger in excess. The decision? After a last attempt by Ted Brithén, the Emmentaler comes to a counterattack after the expiration of the sentence. Anthony Huguenin, who served Berger’s sentence, joins the attack with Ben Maxwell and scores from the air to make it 4: 3. The Tigers win for the first time after six straight bankruptcies.

The best: Julian Schmutz (SCL Tigers), a safe bet, always with a knife between his teeth.

For two months, the ZSC Lions could only be stopped by the corona virus and quarantines. Following the loss at Ambri on October 27, they had eight victories. But the series breaks up against Biel.

In the balanced game, in which the guests can put a more playful accent, the Zurich team goes ahead shortly before the second break thanks to the former Bieler Marco Pedretti. But Leuenberger’s team, with striker Lilian Garessus (17) making his National League debut, remains vigilant and turns the tide in the final section. First defender Yanick Stämpfli ties his first goal in the House of Lords. Then Finnish world champion Petteri Lindbohm followed twice with a long-range shot. Before that, Sven Andrighetto lost the puck during a dribble in which he braked.

Biel takes the lead over time. Pedretti has the best chance to equalize when he fails after some wonderful preparatory work from Roman Wick. Even on his 35th birthday, he falls short of the first point of the season. (Mr)

The best: Petteri Lindbohm (Biel). At first things are not ideal for him: he takes a stick in the face and deflects the puck to 0: 1. Then the defender hits twice.

The plum: Dario Trutmann (ZSC). The otherwise solid defender is prone to making mistakes for once.

Tore: 40. Pedretti (Krüger, Bodenmann) 1-0. 45. Stampfli (Komarek, Cunti / indicated penalty) 1: 1. 49. Lindbohm (Fuchs, Hofer) 1: 2. 60. Lindbohm (Pouliot) 1: 3 (towards the empty goal).

HCD forced a victory against leader Zug in the final match of the year. A set of hooks and eyes. Controversial scenes, sometimes violent collisions, many duels in a confined space. Not suitable for players in good weather. There is nothing free in this game, not even in double majority. With two more men on the ice, both teams lack bright ideas.

First class: both goalkeepers. Genoni with stoic calm, Mayer with reflexes. And the referees: they decide two goals in the spirit of the sport and they pass the blows instead of the goalkeeper intervening. The decision is made in the last minute of extra time when Genoni and Hofmann get obstructed in Zug’s goal area. Herzog puts the disc in the Zuger Tor with the last use and thanks to its reach.

The best: Mayer (Davos). He deactivated several solo attempts by Zug and also distributed the albums. First class.

The plum: Alatalo (train). Before Marc Wieser does 2-1, you can boot the disc like a beginner.

Tore: 21. Thorell (Kovar, Schlumpf) 0: 1. 31. Palushaj (Corvi, Stoop / SH!) 1: 1. 47. M. Wieser 2: 1. 49. Klingberg (Zehnder, Zgraggen) 2: 2. 65th Duke 3: 2.

The objectives: 10th Riat (Fehr / PP) 1-0. 26. Genazzi (Kenins / PP) 1: 1. 35. Leone (Jäger) 1: 2. 46. Grossmann (Jäger) 1: 3, 60. Bozon (Malgin / towards the empty goal) 1: 4.
