99ers lose at home
Fearful opponent continues to spread fear and terror
The ice hockey cracks of the Graz99ers and their opponent Fehervar - that usually doesn't end well! This time, too, the Hungarians came off the ice as winners, with Harry Lange's team ultimately conceding 2:5.
"Two points!", said President Herbert Jerich before the start of the match, setting the direction for his 99ers against league leaders Fehervar. And on the ice, coach Harry Lange had two additional arguments at his disposal: Top scorer Marcus Vela celebrated his comeback after four games out with injury and new signing Nick Bailen got his first start. A few hours before the start of the game, his work permit had finally found its way through the jungle of authorities to Graz-Liebenau.
On the ice, the 99ers quickly trailed by two goals. Balint Magosi netted after just eleven minutes, Janos Hari made it 2:0 for the Hungarians at the start of the second period. A wake-up call for the home side! Which fell on open ears with returnee Vela. With two goals within six minutes, the Canadian made the 3300 fans' eyes light up.
0:3 in the final third
But the 4:03 minutes before the end were extinguished. Chris Brown scored and sealed the narrow defeat, which turned into a clear 2:5 on paper in the last 40 seconds - Graz's sixth defeat in a row against Fehervar. They will have the chance to make amends in Vorarlberg on Sunday (16).
