After the dispute the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup that led to the Final Four of Collalbo (30 November / 1 December) Val Pusteria, Asiago Valpellice, in addition to the already qualified Ritten, returns to live the ultimate Italian league with a day very interesting. It starts from the big match between Val Pusteria and Asiago - live on TV Rai Sport 1 - that will decide the championship lead of the Elite A. Behind could advance the Ritten committed against Fassa. The Valpellice wants to consolidate fourth place against a combative Sterzing. The Milan hosts the Curtain: rossoblu must defend the sixth position.
After the break of the season for the dispute of the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup, the calendar proposes a very interesting challenge especially for the destiny written in the calendar. Renon and Fassa are the two teams that, for various reasons, have not been committed in the miniseries of qualification for the Final Four scheduled to take place on the ice of Collalbo. The Ritten already qualified because of law and the Fassa did not participate because they ranked last in the first half of the season in the Elite Cup Itas A Two teams looking for immediate revenge after nettasconfitta the Ritten in Sterzing and overtaking final the Val Pusteria in Alba di Canazei. The Ritten starts its journey to the primacy of the third position behind Valpusteria and Asiago, with the knowledge that they could play until the end of counting on precisely this period of rest during which the men of Rob Wilson will surely have recharged the batteries in view of a very busy time. The "Ritten Buam" will face a team Fassa anch'' it riposato.Una young and growing, Ladin, who may be able to further raise their standard of play and performance to begin precisely with this tricky trip on a ice where it is difficult to get out with some points in the pockets for any opponent. The challenge, however, seems to play for the attacks: on the one hand the "Val di Fassa" Sindel - fully recovered from the last injury - and Jeslinek,'' from the other trio formed by Nelson, and Tudin Alright. Could prove to be the decisive'' defensive application where the Ritten outperforms Fassa having grossed nearly less than half goals from all'' opponent. All attention, however, to what will happen to the "Arena Ritten" where after the break playing the teams that could ensure more open match any results despite the substantial difference in the standings. Ritten is absent only in the Alex Frei whose recovery times are getting longer.
Valpellice - VipitenoTorna on track on home ice the Valpellice, training output invigorated and with a big boost of confidence from two matches against Milan in the Italian Cup, which will meet at the start of the championship a Vipiteno that has performed well against a Asiago in great form, making life very difficult for the champions of Italy'' in the two races of the series of the quarter-finals last week. The team of coach Flanagan has shown significant growth, especially in the defensive department, suffering and finding a great little Frazee that allowed little or nothing to avantimilanesi, not to underestimate the insertion'' now'' s newest registered Maxwell, after finally deciding a slow start. In the training continues to be important Piedmontese Brian Ihnacak, able to put together 16 points (8 goals and as many assists) in these first 8 league games. The Broncos have committed extremely l'' Asiago in the Italian Cup, able to get the better of team of high val d'''''' Isarco only in the last part of the third period, where the boys coach Park have been shown to be able to manage the most of their higher quality compared to an opponent but he fought it head on up to the sixtieth minute of the game. The various Erat, bolts and Caig starting to be a real factor in the offensive performance and therefore in the results of a Vipiteno that seems to have caught well in the hiring of'' Liotti, a defender who is well behaved in the series of Italian Cup , and that will surely give a big hand to the team in the rest of the season, even when the commitments will become more tightened as at Christmas time. The Valpellice tip then go back to other positions after the'' start swinging, confident of being able to grow even stronger and 4 blocks offensive on the long run will no doubt prove decisive against any opponent, while Vipiteno will try to continue in one's ascent, by growing their own young and trying to build something good in "points" when the games will be in the'' fiery atmosphere of the "Weihenstephan Arena." Valpellice announced full. Vipiteno with only the absence of Fabian Hackhofer.
Milan - CortinaStorica classicissima all'' Agora, where the Milan crosses the slats against a veteran from Cortina'' only series of the round of the Italian Cup resolved only in Game 3 against the Val Pusteria who later achieved the qualification to the Final Four Collalbo. The Milano after the double challenge of Cup with Valpellice is back on the ice with some important innovations in terms of roster: coach Insam has chosen to tap into the farm team of Varese to increase numerically the actual available, both for training that for the official matches, having available Piccinelli Lorenzo, who in the Italian Cup striker showed very interesting things after sporadic appearances last year, along with Stefan Ilic, 23 year-old defender of Serbian origin but Italian training and membership, a factor that will , the company is not going to affect the number of foreign players, and this also key to future choices. It'' back on track Andreas Lutz but only to maintain the shape after the'' hand injury that stopped him right in the best time for him, and even then will not be available for the game against the Cortina. The bellunesi as mentioned are a run of three races tight against the Val Pusteria when they showed some growth combined with determination and will to fight that was somehow not in the latest releases in the league. To the rear there will be Milan to keep an eye on the usual dangerous Gron'', also'' he appeared in great form as demonstrated by the goals scored against anthology Pustertal and that bodes well in view of a prompt and velocerisalita for the team of coach Beddoes. Teams then complete all'' Agora, for a race that promises to be balanced, however, and where Milan will look to return to winning ways after four defeats in league and Italian Cup all accrued against Valpellice. The last victory, complete with a shutout Daiton was right up against the historical opponent in Cortina. The Ampezzani have collected a point from their last five games.
Val Pusteria - AsiagoLa game highlight of the day is definitely in Brunico in the challenge that sees the opposite Val Pusteria, leaders, and Asiago second in the standings. The team of Brunico must handle three-point lead against the formation Venetian who is going to great strides ranking. Both teams have passed the turn of the Italian Cup. The Val Pusteria, after selling debut against Cortina, has been shown to immediately recover from the unexpected defeat at home. In Race 2 and 3, the formation pusterese gave the best and shot a series that could complicate. The attack was able to resume his dangerous offensive (14 goals overall in Race 2 and Race 3) and also the defense has had its share. A Val Pusteria that from the beginning of this season has always revealed problems in training. Even for this anticipated match, coach Busniuk has to deal with the infirmary. In addition to historical injured Tauber and McLeod, was also added to problems that Max Oberrauch to a shoulder blade will have to be absent at least a month. Even the goalkeeper Aubin is not the best of condition. His return scheduled Cup Italy has not materialized and so you need to see if the Canadian goalkeeper is really ready to defend his goal. But despite these absences training yellow black has always stood in the Cup four lines to complete proof of a deep roster. This challenge is also an "appetizer" for what will be the next issues of the Italian Cup as one of the two semi-finals of the Final Four Collalbo will own, in a month, this same challenge. Challenge that promises sparks as it happened in the first round. The Asiago, in fact, was the first team to stop the Val Pusteria questastagione. Just from that success will allocate Park men who appear to be complete with the exception of Mirko Presti. Asiago in the Italian Cup has shown that the usual great attack. Twice in the third period both Race 1 and Race 2 training Asiago has overturned the result against a tough Sterzing. Demonstration of a team more and more concentrated at the next Continental Cup and strong commitment to the best attack of the Elite A Itas Cup
Elite Rank A Itas Cup: 1) Val Pusteria 21 points, 2) Asiago 18 points, 3) Ritten 17 points, 4) Valpellice 12 points, 5) Vipiteno 10 points, 6) Milano 9 points; 7) Cortina 6 points, 8 ) Fassa 3 points;
