That’s a surprise: the National League teams for Saturday’s games are on strike together! All Saturday night games start on time, but then stop after the first matchup.
Players stand back and unfurl a banner that says: “Young people are our future, fans are our backbone and ice hockey is our life.” After a good two minutes of protest, continue.
The players are thus defending themselves against the new league reform, which says that as of the 2022/23 season, 7 foreign licenses may be issued in the National League. The aim should be that clubs can reduce their salary costs.
The protest was planned by the players’ union “SIHPU”, which shortly afterwards also spoke on Instagram. Its president, Jonas Hiller, announced a reaction from the players shortly after the reform was approved. (Red)
Davos – move 2: 7
The game: The widespread protest from the players’ association was probably misinterpreted at HC Davos. With the protest after the first album was released, the ghost would have ended; the initiators probably planned no further action.
However, in an impressive campaign of solidarity with the players’ association, the HCD players refused to play for half an hour, which is particularly vividly demonstrated in front of their own goal. Conditionally adequate defensive behavior gives the EVZ a considerable margin, something to be avoided against this team.
At HCD you will refer to the many injured and absent (Ambühl and Frehner joined this week), but this excuse only counts to a limited extent. At least in the area of defense, a goal or two could have been avoided with a little more courage and spirit.
The EVZ is almost a bit embarrassed by the oversupply of space and time, but still gets to work with the necessary concentration at least until 5: 0.
The leader’s first win of the season against HCD is no longer in jeopardy. The EVZ does not allow himself to be bothered by the sick opponent and follows his directives without humor.
The Graubünden team will play SCL Tigers and Friborg next week. After that, there are only two games left until March 12. You may use this phase to recover. After that, at least some of the injured and missing should be available again. (dk)
The best: Thorell (EVZ). Callous at 1-0, cleverly hung up 2-0.
The plum: Nygren (HCD). The defense chief has to receive the fruit on behalf of his companions.
Tore: 9. Thorell (Shore, Martschini) 0: 1. 13. Senteler (Thorell, Martschini / PP) 0: 2. 23. Geisser (Kovar) 0: 3. 25. Zehnder (Albrecht) 0: 4. 31. Bachofner ( Stadler) 0: 5. 37. Egli (Nussbaumer, Palushaj / PP) 1: 5. 46. Corvi (Nygren / PP)) 2: 5. 47. Kovar (Klingberg, Diaz) 2: 6. 50. Klingberg 2: 7.

SCRJ Lakers – ZSC Lions 2: 6
The game: The ZSC Lions get their fourth straight win. Absolutely sure. After a fairly leisurely start, they featured a power punch from Sigrist and then doubled up with Lasch. With a notable shorthander, Geering made it all clear in the second section early on.
Later there was a second minority coup for Zurich by Prassl. It’s already 5-0. In the end, when the game has long been like free ice skating, the Lakers also score two more goals. (Mr)
The best: Patrick Geering (ZSC Lions). The captain creates an extremely sophisticated shorthander.
The plum: Noël Bader (SCRJ Lakers). Injured starting goalkeeper Melvin Nyffeler’s rep isn’t the support he would need for a surprise. After two-thirds, he is redeemed and replaced by Sascha Rochow.
Tore: 16. Sigrist (Andrighetto, Noreau / PP) 0: 1. 20. Lasch (Andrighetto, Morant) 0: 2. 23. Geering (SH) 0: 3. 34. Andrighetto 0: 4. 40. Prassl (Noreau / SH ) 0: 5. 54. Rowe (Sataric, Forrer) 1: 5. 58. Prassl 1: 6. 60. Egli (Rowe) 2: 6.

Ambri – Bern 1: 4
The game: Three weeks ago, the world in Bern looked cleaner. The SCB lost 2: 5 to the Lakers, conceding the ninth (!) Bankruptcy of the last ten games, 13 points behind in 10th place. Now Mario Kogler’s team is celebrating its third consecutive victory. And move up to a pre-playoff spot. Also because Jesper Olofsson is finally skorting.
Actually, the Swede should have played the season in the AHL with the Rochester Americans. But because it was not clear for a long time if the championship could be held, the 28-year-old looked for an alternative and found something in SCB, who was looking for a replacement for Gaëtan Haas.
Olofsson did a lot of good things for a long time, but he kept sinning late in the match and scored two goals a week ago. With 91 (!) Shots. Now the 28-year-old, who plays alongside new signing Cory Conacher and top scorer Dustin Jeffrey, is skorting for the third time in a row.
Seven minutes before the end and after Bern allowed four unused minutes to pass, Olofsson used a pass to Jeffreys, scored 3: 1. And then also readied Conacher’s Empty Netter to make it 4-1.
Bitter for Ambri: The Leventines, who suffer the seventh loss in a row, for the first time since October are no longer in a pre-playoff range. They take the lead after just 82 seconds. Patrick Incir, still missing at 1: 3 on Friday in Freiburg, took advantage of the first counterattack. But Ambri complicates her life with punishments.
The referees hummed a total of eight two-minute penalties for the home team. Bern hits twice. Tristan Scherwey, who is also getting better and faster, scores after 13 seconds. Simon Moser needs 24 seconds in the second third, deflecting an Andersson shot to make it 2-1.
The only disappointment: Mika Henauer was injured in the first third. But Ramon Untersander is back after his crown disease. (ARKANSAS)
The best – Jesper Olofsson (Bern): That’s what people call the ketchup effect. 3 games, 4 goals. The Swede has finally arrived in Bern.
The plum – Tobias Fohrler (Ambri): Eight minutes in the penalty area! Disability. Exaggerated hardness. Upstairs.
Tore: 2. Incir (Trisconi, Kostner) 1-0. 5. Scherwey (Pestoni, Praplan / PP) 1: 1. 21. (20:24) Moser (Andersson / PP) 1: 2. 53. Olofsson (Jeffrey, Praplan) 1: 3. 59. Conacher (Olofsson, Jeffrey ) 1: 4 (towards the empty goal).

The objectives: 2. Omark 0: 1, 11. Hudon 1: 1, 19. Kenins 2: 1, 46. Omark 2: 2, 62. Rod 2: 3.
