After the dispute the advance of Tuesday night which saw the victory of the leaders on the Renon Asiago, is back on track for the thirteenth day of the regular season. L 'Asiago will be on stage in Val di Fassa to find a victory that is missing from two rounds. The Val Pusteria, with some training problem between injuries and suspensions, will be in Torre Pellice against the Bulldogs. The Ritten expected of the difficult trip to Milan's new signing Devin DiDiomete. Game that will be covered live by the cameras of Rai Sport 2. Race to be experienced between Vipiteno and Cortina. The former must do without Michael Catenacci is no longer a player but the Broncos want to continue the winning streak of three consecutive victories. The latter seek confirmation even on the road and have a run of three wins in four games.
Val di Fassa - AsiagoSeconda consecutive race on the ice for the Fassa friend of the "Scola". After Milan, rooms at Alba di Canazei an Asiago looking for revenge ready, after two consecutive defeats against remedied Vipiteno - first home defeat of the season, and Renon - in anticipation of Tuesday -. The samples Italy'' s await the turn of Continental Cup coach John Park and is continuing to do experiments in view of the'' important international commitment on which the Venetian society tip a lot, so much so that day-to-day state of the form of its boys without disdaining rest periods for someone and shifts role to others. The last two missteps however, have not reduced the prices of the battleship Vicenza, called the challenge against the bottom side in the league but has always fought to the end, race after race, according to their ability, often putting in difficulty more quoted opponents before dropping dramatically at a distance. If we compare this factor with the qualities and capabilities of a comeback'' s Asiago we come out with a race marked by the prediction, although the Fassa in recent times has seemed able to put some pressure'' s opponent round, whatever it is, relying on speed and technique but it is not offset by a'' global experience of the group available to coach Erwin Kostner. A Collalbo leaders'' s attack Asiago have taken an evening off, while down on the ice, while Dave Borrelli has remained at rest again, a factor that could play an important role in the'' performance of this comparison, also seeing how the Ladin people have been able to put under high pressure from a defense system rather than the disciplinatocome'' in Milan last outing of the season. The choices of the two coaches of the respective internal'' s roster will therefore be important if not decisive in this confrontation between the head and tail. The Fassa shall evaluate the terms of Soel Constantine who did not play on Saturday against Milan.The 'Asiago returned to ranks almost complete with the new onset of Collalbo Andre Signoretti. To be evaluated, as previously mentioned, the conditions of Dave Borrelli that in recent games has been absent. Challenge to distance between "bomber" of the Elite A. Layne Ulmer, Chris DiDomenico and Michal Jeslinek. The first is back on the roster dell'Asiago from two games after injury and is still at 11 goals, in the company of David Ludvik (Sterzing) and Scott Barney (Valpellice). Ulmer does not mark the most in the league since October 12. The Fassa Jeslinek stands at 10 goals just like his opponent evening DiDomenico. We will look at this intersection who will pursue in this special list.
Vipiteno - CortinaUna the races this day more interesting, given the state of the form of the two contenders. The Vipiteno back on home ice after violating nothing less than the slope of Odegar'' after'' this was virtually unbeaten from start of the season. The Broncos beat the'' Asiago with a 4-1 that training in South Tyrol has built in the first two periods of play against defending champions Italy'' s almost appeared surprised by the'' effective enterprise of one of the most in-form teams of the moment . '' The only factor that could significantly change the values ​​on the track as the team of Upper Inn Valley can absorb the amazing, how sudden, departure of Michael Catenacci. The Italian-Canadian called for the termination of its agreement to society. The player had become an important player of the Exchequer of coach Zdenek Travicinek being a hockey player that can play hard but also be decisive in area network. Catenacci left the Broncos after collecting 7 goals and 8 assists in 12 games, making 15 points with the second best player in the ranking of the best goal assists Sterzing. Now the need of the association Tyrolean dicercare a new substitute who can have the quality of the runner. Vipiteno coming from three straight wins, two at home against Milan and Fassa, a prominent Asiago which is also equivalent to the first external success. Three races that allowed the team to pounce South Tyrol is until the fourth place showing of good plant gioco.Il Cortina, for its part, began to grind the game and results, as shown in'' against Valpellice output of the last weekend. In this game the boys Caoch Clayton Beddoes who administered the result as only rarely were able to do earlier in the season, the result of a collective growth of the group is under the point of view of the condition that the performance of the individual, in which stand out the various Dingle, Gron and the'' eternal DeBettin, again and always a factor in front of the goal. Against the Valpellice Ampezzani have also found the record of goals scored season with eight centers. Cortina in the last four races won three out and has lost only one for a one goal difference. These results led the board of directors of the company, for the voice of the President, Lorenzo Lacedelli, to praise the group forged by Beddoes and focus increasingly on young people of the nursery. Just the opportunity to gain experience to young people led the Cortina to decline some offers on the market, with regard to the transfer, reflecting the net orientation of the association ampezzano.Proprio with the challenge of Sterzing, the Cortina find himself three absent last week, engaged in the Under 20, as Rene Vallazza, Richard Lacedelli and Ronny De Fang. To verify the conditions of Christian Menardi and René Baur, both absent last gara.I reasons to make the prediction uncertain we are all in this match that confronts two teams among the most in the ball of the moment.
Milan - RittenAll'' Agora comes back from Renon a home victory against the league leaders Asiago, thus continuing the pursuit of the band'' Rob Wilson towards a peaceful noble position in the standings, fighting with Pustertal and the same even for Vicenza first place overall. The Milan, for its part, has earned a'' major confidence boost going to win on the field against a Fassa Canazei who put on the ropes rossoblu, but suffering the play that decided the game in its own better time. Adolf Insam is recovering all its effettividi a group that still lacks the dynamism and the unpredictability of'' Manuel LoPresti but you can count on the contribution of'' newcomer Devin DiDiomete. The new arrival is striker weight and could change radically'' offensive approach of a team that is still searching for its own balance which can ensure a fast and safe ascent to the most peaceful compared to that of this moment. Guests of the evening, as I said, they beat the Asiago'''' in advance of Tuesday, suggesting once again an attack very diverse and able to send many players in scoring. The trio of foreigners in the attack, Johansson, Siddall and Nelson sometimes met together, sometimes made available to the team, it seems to grow with every race in giving the right amount. The rest of the strength of this Renon lies in its defense, the best in the league with just 29 goals conceded thanks to the excellent performance of Chris Mason, numerically the best goalkeeper of the tournament with a percentage of 92.15% of positive interventions in 13 departures holder. The desire to do well'' and the enthusiasm of their fans will have to make an opponent of the Milan ready for any solution against a concrete Renon and able to exploit in their favor every phase of the game, even if it'' s Agora is always difficult to play for any team. The Ritten will be without Alex Tauferer that after a DISCATA on the leg will have to take a short stop. Back in the defense of Ritten, Ruben Rampazzo who served his one-match ban.
Valpellice - Val PusteriaSfida of great importance in Torre Pellice for two teams who want to return to winning ways after defeats remedied in the last round, which allowed rivals or get as close as in the case of Pustertal, or find overtaking, as in the case of Piedmont. The hosts have the objective to recover the fourth position in the standings taken from Sterzing. After a good period in Elite A, culminated with four straight wins, six if you count the Italian Cup, the results came last week that have cost so much in terms of ranking and strength of the team. The defeat at home to Asiago and the trip to Cortina have scaled the path of Valpe who shall promptly recover to keep up with the other formations. The news is that the coach Mike Flanagan found the goalkeeper Jeff Frazee who was part of the successful delivery of the U.S. National who won the Deutschland Cup The Valpellice also found all those players involved in various National Under as Matthew Mondon and Federico Marin Cordin . Basic to Valpe will find that balance defensive sembraessere been lost in the last two meetings and who asked the defense Piedmont as the worst, ahead of only to that of the Fassa, for goals collected. At the same time the attack is the third best in the league and also plays on the great skill of Brian Ihnacak that with the Asiago Chris Di Domenico is the lead of the championship with regard to assist. The opponent that will come in Torre Pellice is that Val Pusteria that despite some problems of training and the recent home defeat at the hands of Renon, remains one of the most successful teams accreditantedella Elite A. In addition to injuries, for this trip, the training will have to give up two yellow black disqualified as Thomas Erlacher (match penalty) and Dennis McCauley (10 'with relapsed), both punished after the derby on Saturday with the Ritten. A coach Mike Busniuk the ability to reconstruct an attack in which also will miss the injured, for a long time, like McLeod, Tauber and Oberrauch. A short blanket which will be added, perhaps, some reinforcement by the defense. Peril Val Pusteria remains the thorny issue of JS Aubin that appears, repeat appears, ready to serve the cause yellow black full-time. The extreme pusterese only has to his credit 34 'in the last days and the last 60' played to date back to the whole 5 October. A challenge that could give a lot of goals but that surely will be fun for the playing of both formations.
Elite Rank A Itas Cup: 1) Asiago 29 points; ** 2) Val Pusteria 28 points; * 3) Ritten 26 points; * 4) Vipiteno 19 points, 5) Valpellice 18 points, 6) Cortina 15 points, 7) Milan 12 points, 8) Fassa 3 points; ** two races more; * a game more;
