Another round of Elite A Itas Cup After the binge of goals in the previous round, it makes all the more interesting the fight for the title scorer in the league. In one game David Ludvik striker Vipiteno, and Scott Barney striker Valpellice, authors of a group of five goals each in the previous round, reached Layne Ulmer dell'Asiago stop to 11 goals and who has missed the last four races of championship. From the point of view of the meetings of the twelfth round, stands the derby with the South Tyrolean Ritten forced to get a result if you do not want to lose further ground against the Wolves Pustertal own. The Asiago leaders will be engaged on his home track against a grim Sterzing. The surprise Cortina looking for a home win against Valpellice was defeated by the big-match against Asiago. Rounds off the meeting between Fassa and Milan with two teams who want to end their losing streak.
Val Pusteria - Val Pusteria RenonQuale derby and Renon? Two teams coming to this appointment not without some difficulty. For the hosts there are now chronic problems due to the absence of some key players that make the games of "Wolves" a real swing of emotions. For the Ritten, party with other ambitions of the standings, two consecutive defeats are already a wakeup call. Proper conditions These frame a derby that will be experienced for the stakes. The Val Pusteria is second, just one point dall'Asiago. Logical to expect that the formation pusterese making use of the slope factor to be always in the plans of the highest ranking. In the end, the only neo yellow blacks is a certain impatience with the Asiago cheese that has won 8 out of 9 points against Christian Borgatello and companions. The Brunico must do even now deal with the prolonged absence of JS Aubin that even in Milan, after heating, has given package. Not that the Val Pusteria if the wrong steps without his goalkeeper reference. Even in their last three away games in a row, excluding the advance with Asiago, Val Pusteria was able to win against Milan, thanks to Cortina and a third time boarding. A Brunico, in short, who is arranging the beautiful and better waiting to recover his important strikers (McLeod, Oberrauch and Tauber) and the Aubin find that everyone knows. Meanwhile, the couple Kosta - Ausserhofer continues to defend the cage of yellow blacks with great commitment and assurance to put in the barn important minutes of experience. If the Val Pusteria somehow manages to find the strength to go on, can not be said of the Ritten. The defeat was predictable experience in Asiago, one in the house with the curtain a bit 'less. Although it has a game in hand compared to Asiago and Val Pusteria, another defeat would put the formation of Collalbo already in too great a distance from the top of the standings and more importantly, what not least, Valpellice and Sterzing are not so far apart. A Ritten that, in addition to the absence of Gabe Guentzel in defense, engaged with the National U.S., does not have many excuses for yesterday's defeat against the Cortina. Perhaps the disallowed goal at the end of the first half to Ritten could have given a different story to the race, but the team of Rob Wilson has become caged by the defensive system of Cortina and has been punished by the double powerplay. A win would be vital in Brunico perrilanciare the ambitions of Ingemar Gruber and his companions.
S.H.C. Val di Fassa - Hockey Milan RossobluUltima called for the two teams, in the sense of 'reverse a negative route which sees the clash between the seventh and eighth of the Elite A. If the assets Fassa has only one win this season, the Milan after the home defeat against the Val Pusteria, is in the negative range for five incontri.Due formations that they need to find and moral victory even if c ' is a distinction to make. The Fassa always manages to provide interesting ideas in the first half and then goes off to the distance. The Milano in its defeats has always sold dearly enough to stay in the game, in some circumstances, even for long stretches of the third period. A race that will be lived with full intensity by the two coaches because another defeat against an opponent within their reach, would do no good to any of the two teams. The Fassa, debuted in Sterzing the new terzinofinlandese Ville Laine but the latter should rightly take the time to make his contribution. A game that sees the track the two worst defenses in the Elite A: Just by this department would have to allocate the two teams if they are to have any hope of success. In the last two races, Fassa and Milan have earned a 15 to 14 goals, since it speaks volumes about the vulnerability of these two departments. But come to this none of the two teams can not afford any misstep.
Asiago - VipitenoTerza game of the week for the Asiago that after the home victory against the Val Pusteria in the anticipation and the heavy success in Torre Pellice, returns to play on the ice dell'Odegar hosting the grim Sterzing. There is a point to be defended against the Val Pusteria that follows closely the team after they Veneto Asiago ousted from the throne rivals South Tyrol. The starry series are positive from seven games and nothing seems to stop the course of the various Sean Bentivoglio, Devergilio Kevin and Chris Di Domenico, who soon shows a fast reaction when they are points in vivo. Even in the last race in Torre Pellice, when the result seemed to be in full possession of Valpellice, check here the usual firepower Vicenza and opponents to the mat. A Asiago is coming in great shape for the European round of 22/24 November of the Continental Cup Team Starry sembraquasi recite a script already written. Before you can complicate your life and then, however, likes to turn the "score" of the races like a glove. So even in Torre Pellice, on the difficult track of the Bulldogs, coach John Park has prevailed with his team thanks to a partial third time to 5-2. Asiago was not in possession of Vincenzo Marozzi, stop for a rest. The same is ready to get on track against the Sterzing. To evaluate the general conditions of the bomber Layne Ulmer who missed the fourth consecutive race. Absent also Luke Mattivi, Under 20, and Lorenzo Casetti, stop for a shot against the Val remedied in anticipation Pusteria.Potrebbe be the debut of Andre Signoretti, defender of experience, called Asiago to give more fluidity Vicenza to maneuver in preparation for upcoming commitments. But be careful not to underestimate the commitment Vipiteno seen that the formation of Upper Inn Valley can have a big sweep David Ludvik after the quintet made the sign against Fassa. Vipiteno that will dispel his pain away and will have to remember the good and bad of the race dispute Asiago to Race 1 of the quarter-final when the Broncos were overwhelmed only in the last five minutes of gioco.Broncos that need to tighten the teeth in defense: Daniel Maffia has played the first few minutes against Fassa, then had to leave. Michael Messner, however, is engaged in the National Under 20.
Cortina - ValpelliceInteressante comparison on the track at the Olimpico between two teams who come to this appointment with a different state of mind. On one hand, the Cortina that in recent games has shown great awakening. The victory in Milan and Collalbo and the defeat of the measure housewife at the hands of Val Pusteria, are important signals for the curtain of young people as a sign of maturity, concentration and a good tactical approach. What is missing is coming back to win the Olympic ice friend saw that the three full points in home games are missing from the second league. A Cortina which must demonstrate how these improvements are not the result of chance, but in general an increasingly lucrative teamwork. Ampezzani who have learned to manage the favorable opportunities such as double numerical superiority used properly the Arena Ritten: gesture that has in fact opened the victory at De Bettin and his companions. Now a tough test against Valpellice which can be regarded as a little examination dimaturità for the rest of the season. The Valpellice comes in Cortina you must resume quickly from the defeat of the measure, but heavy in size, which arrived dall'Asiago. The lack of budgeted Jeff Frazee in the door can not be an alibi for the seven goals conceded. It is not enough for a Scott Barney big sweep, author of a pokerissimo of goals. Valpellice that has not exploited the misstep of Ritten and begins to see in the rear in a Vipiteno lifts. Certainly after the defeat against Asiago is a defense under indictment for the way it was handled the third period against the starry. Against the Cortina, the attack team definitely less effective, the Valpellice will have to find the necessary unity to defend properly Rivoira Andrea who has the simple task of not replace Frazee.
Elite Rank A Itas Cup: 1) Asiago 29 points; * 2) Val Pusteria 28 points; * 3) Ritten 20 points, 4) Valpellice 18 points, 5) Vipiteno 16 points, 6) Cortina 12 points, 7) Milan 9 points , 8) Fassa 3 points; * a game more;
