After a 1:3 defeat in Asiago, HC TIWAG Innsbruck wants to get back on track as soon as possible. It is already preferred today in Villach.
The disappointment in Hay Camp after the bankruptcy of Asiago was great. Especially with Coach Mitch O’Keefe. Perhaps some people have already thought about Christmas. Asiago won because they wanted it more,” said the coach.
Captain Jan Laettner sees it similarly: “We certainly didn’t show our best game in Asiago. But games like that can happen. . He is sure that his forces will show a reaction tomorrow.
“We’re a really good team, we have great personalities in the team. We just have to show our game for 60 minutes,” said Laettner, who knows, however, that the grapes are hanging in Villach: “I expect a tough and close game. We want to get away from the penalty area, play defensively and show why we are first in the table,” says the HCI captain.
The Villachers are one of the most exciting teams in the league in recent weeks. Adler has won 8 out of 11 games since last meeting against Haie in mid-November, is third, and has a clean sheet against Tyroleans this year, having won the previous two (6:5/OT victory in Innsbruck, 4:3 victory in villach). However, both matches were on the brink, so there’s a good chance it will be another fight tomorrow.
