2:4! VSV eliminated
Semi-final! KAC celebrates again in Pustertal
Only one Carinthian club continues the season. The KAC made it to the semi-finals with a 3:1 win in the Pustertal. VSV, meanwhile, were eliminated with a 2:4 home defeat against Bolzano.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The KAC had already won the series in Bruneck the previous year - back then with a 4-0 win in the semi-final. Now coach Kirk Furey's squad secured a 3-1 win to make it 4-2 in the quarter-finals and advance. The Red Jackets had few problems for a long time. Raphael Herburger made it 1:0 early on with a deflection (7th), then they had the home side under control, allowing only nine shots on goal from their opponents in the first two periods.
After a Hochegger breakaway, Fraser even made it 2:0 (43') in front of 400 loud fans. However, the visitors counter-attacked to make it 1:2 and then upped the tempo - but Hundertpfund and Co. did not allow anything more. And Obersteiner finally sealed the deal one minute before the end with his empty-net goal to make it 3:1.
Bolzano knocks Villach out
The unrest on the day before the sixth quarter-final match between Villach and Bolzano was quickly forgotten by the visitors in the evening. The team from Bolzano got going right from the start, taking a 1:0 lead after just 59 seconds - Helewka took advantage of a defensive blunder, crossed to Gazley and he shot in ice-cold. In the first powerplay, the South Tyroleans then immediately increased the lead to 2:0 through Helewka (7th).
The Eagles came out of the locker room better in the second period - Lindner was unlucky with a shot off the bar (23'). But a stupid Richter penalty (two plus two minutes!) was punished - Bolzano made it 3:0 through Salinitri. In the final period, Coatta (44') scored the equalizer - and Hughes in the six-on-five overtime (goalie JP Lamoureux went out!) actually scored the equalizer (58')! But the joy was short-lived: Bourque's shot was saved by Villach to make the final score 2:4. VSV's season was over.
