Ice Bulls briefly played with fire in Vienna
The successful Royal League fighters gave away a 2-0 lead in Vienna. Before the game was back on track. In the end, Bourke, Wukovits, Hochkofler, Schneider and Thaler scored five different goals to give the Bulls their first win on Capitals ice in almost two years (5-3).
It took a whole twelve seconds in the middle third to light up the ice and the packed stands of the Vienna Steffl Arena with over 5500 spectators. In this short time, the Ice Bulls were rid of their dusty 2:0 lead (Capital Fischer had served up the 1:0): First Tolvanen had to let it bounce, Franklin dusted it off, shortly afterwards Gregoire scored - the 2:2 was given despite offside complaints after a long video review.
It was just as well that Salzburg - with Genoway injured in addition to the new long-term absentee Kraus - quickly put the double blow behind them, with Hochkofler successfully deflecting a Murphy shot shortly before the second intermission. Franklin replied to Schneider's powerplay 4:2 again, but Fischer hit the crossbar - luck for Salzburg. Thaler then finally put the game out of reach with a shorthander.
After the Champions League win in Lahti (2:1), the Ice Bulls were back on the winning track in the ice hockey league after two defeats before the international break, ending their drought on Capitals ice after almost two years.
"We controlled the game for long stretches. We also had the right answer to their two goals and left the ice as deserved winners," explained coach Oliver David. On Sunday, leaders Bolzano come to the Eisarena.
