National League: DiDomenico wins with Freiburg against Langnau

The Canadian diva spent six years in the Emmental, was a rising hero, loved by the public and a fascinating figure at the same time. In 2017, he left the Tigers in the midst of the relegation battle, cut to Ottawa in the NHL. Yet a year later I was accepted again with a kiss on the hand in Langnau. But again and again the striker faced manager Heinz Ehlers. Until “DiDo” was fired last season before the battle for relegation, which never happened due to the virus crisis.

If the first meeting had taken place at Ilfishalle in front of an audience, there would have been boos and riots. After only 14 minutes, “DiDo” has to go to the bench after a spectacular flight (swallow). 17 seconds later Langnau leads.

But DiDomenico made up for his mistake in the first third, deflecting a Gunderson shot to make it 1-1 five seconds before half-time. And then he verbally jokes with his former colleagues. “He has an emotional character to him, including a little bit of madness on ice,” says Dubé.

Langnau is the best team and has bad luck with four (!) Shots in post. The Tigers turn a 1: 2 into a 3: 2 and are up to 90 seconds before the end. Then Gottéron changes the cards on the table. Both goals say “DiDo” on the ice, introducing the match winner to extra time. Amaro for Langnau.

Tore: 14. Brannström (Glauser, Maxwell / PP) 1: 0. 20. (19:55) DiDomenico (Gunderson) 1: 1. 26. Walser (Bougro) 1: 2. 46. Dostoinov (P. Berger, Diem ) 2: 2. 56. Maxwell (Earl) 3: 2. 59. Lord (Gunderson) 3: 3. 61. Gunderson (Gentlemen, DiDomenico) 3: 4.

The best: Ryan Gunderson (Gottéron): Always present. If 3: 3 starts, the winner of the game shoots.

The plum: Ben Maxwell (Tigers): He may have become the hero with his goal. But then he rewards the winning goal in overtime.

The game: Only 1000 fans are allowed in Les-Vernets-Halle. But their protest is enough to scare referee Stricker when Bern defender Mika Henauer puts Servette Vermin forward on the ice with complete control. He hits the head, reports Stricker, and sends the puzzled young Bernese not to the bench, but into the shower. A difficult decision to understand.

The Genevans don’t care. They use the 5-minute penalty against the 20-year-old, who has been one of the breakthroughs of the season so far, to take the lead from Fehr. Goalkeeper Karhunen is defeated again for the first time after 145 minutes and 12 seconds of unbeaten (including the cup match against Davos).

Although the Guinevere are asking for help, they have not stolen the victory. You lead the thinnest blade, extend the lead, you can count on Descloux’s support for a long time and in Eric Fehr you have a man who runs coldly and hits four times. (sr)

The objectives: 12. Fehr (Omark, Winnik / PP) 1: 0. 21. Fehr (Tömmernes) 2: 0. 36. D. Riat (Omark, Rod) 3: 0. 52. Berger (J. Gerber, Heim) 3: 1. 56. Fehr (Winnik, D. Riat / PP) 4: 1. 56. Fehr 5: 1. 57. Andersson (Jeffrey, B. Gerber) 5: 2. 59. Jeffrey (Scherwey) 5: 3.

The best: Eric Fehr (Servette). Although Omark guarantees charm and magic, its four (!) Goals obviously cannot be exceeded.

The plum: Yanik Burren (Bern). The defender is too easy to play at 0: 3. With his apology, however, it can be said that Damien Riat does it wonderfully.

The game: A win and three points and a hat-trick (more) by Julius Nättinen for Ambri. And a dwarf rebellion: the Austrian earns four assists after a cautious start to the season.

But now to Nättinen. The Finn is already on the Tifosi waiting list for the local hall of fame. Two power play goals in the copy-paste process, Zwerger puts in left to right, then Nättinen takes out straight. If you could have him in your head as an opponent, it hasn’t been long since Zwerger served Kubalik the same way. The executor from the far north enjoys escort protection even on his third attack, because SAC Captain Geering cannot decide between man and zone cover. Meanwhile, Fora also hits with a treacherous long-range shot for goalkeepers (blocked view).

After Roe’s advantage (clean individual performance before 1-0), Zurich have the opportunity to extend the advantage: Reto Schäppi is alone in front of Conz, but only gets a harmless blow. When Ambri gets the target under control, it only takes a few seconds for Nättinen’s first strike. Zurich can do better, at least that’s what the statistics say: up to this match they had the second best record of outnumbering in the league.

In the last round Ludovic Waeber (17 goals conceded in the last 160 minutes of play) is replaced by Lukas Flüeler. But this does not change much in the face of the party. Symptomatic: the double majority of 100 seconds that go by without problems. The ZSC Lions are in a bit of a crisis.

The downside for Ambri: in the 34th minute of play, Marco Müller was injured in a clash with Dominic Zwerger. The attacker does not return to the ice.

Tore: 24. Roe (Andrighetto) 0: 1. 28. (27:33) Spectacular (Zwerger, Hächler / PP) 1: 1. 28. (27:58) Fora (Grassi) 2: 1. 32. Spectacular (Zwerger, Müller / PP) 3: 1. 37. Spectacular (Flynn, Zwerger) 4: 1. 48. Simic (P. Baltisberger) 4: 2. 58. Spectacular (Zwerger, Flynn) 5: 2 (ins Leere Tor).

The best: Nättinen (Ambri). Bring everyone inside. It would probably also strike from the wardrobe.

The plum: Schäppi (SAC). Loses the possibility of 2-0 very lightly.
