It’s really appropriate to finish our story with “Orli” as our opponent since we played against them the first game after the financial breakdown and lost 1:7.
Since then, Znojmo achieved the score 16-6-10 which stirred them away of desired 6. place.
One of those victories was on Friday vs Salzburg (5:2) with really nice play and offensive creativity, esp. by Hlava.
Most dangerous in this period are Kalus (10+11) and Luciani (10+7) followed by McPherson (6+15), Kujawinski (5+6), Hlava (4+7), Mrázek (4+0), Stretch (3+6), Němec (3+5), Lattner (2+8), Matuš (2+7), Vainonen (2+5), Parkkonen (2+4) and Oscadal (2+1).
Lassila has started 12 games, received 3,25 GAA with 85,5% SVS.
Must say, pretty poor coming from goalie of his capabilities.
Halász has started 4 games and replaced Lassila in 3 games, received 4 GAA with 86 % SVS.
66 goals in this 16 games puts them on nice average of 4,1 goal per game and who knows where they would be now if they hadn’t also received 66.
There is still a story about leaving the league but (as I understood mr. Knoll) this is not about financing problem but problems on relation Ohera-referees.
Based on the lines against Salzburg, tomorrow we could expect:
1. Kalus-Stretch-Mrázek
2. McPherson- Matuš- Luciani
3. Hlava- Bartoš- Němec
4. Oscadal-Novák-Špaček
Good luck Znojmo in “zwischenrunde” and as far as we are concerned, it would be nice to go out with 1-2 pucks behind Lassila or Halász.
Hope we will be in greater number on the stands to give the final support to our guys.
Zig-Zag!
