ASIAGO HOCKEY 3/29/2017 RELEASE

There's only one thing to do: be the Odegar tomorrow, Thursday 30/03, at 20.30. It all started more than 6 months ago, and now there are 60 minutes to play to enter the final of the SKY Alps Hockey League. The series of semifinal is on 2-2, in perfect balance, the game is without appeal.

Arrived at 5 race teams know each other perfectly, difficult either coach to be successful at this point, to invent something that would surprise the opponent. Barrasso has shuffled his lines in race 4, then won 4-3, it is therefore likely that will confirm this little revolution. The Red Yellow must be accompanied by a solid defensive test without amnesia. Despite the victory, the death penalty is too heavy for the Stellar job. The box score shows only 16 minutes against 4 well inferiority granted by Slovenians. In 6 matches on 7, played in the Playoffs, the attack has scored at least 4 goals, demonstrating that offensively the team has some great solutions to play.

The Jesenice confirmed to be a solid team, making its best weapons pace and application. The constant forechecking asphyxiating, achieved through the use of 4 lines on the ice, he often created difficulties to Asiago in the game setting. It is reasonable to expect, even in race 5, a frenzied skating, with moments of great pressure, to which the defence of Cloutier will oppose with lucidity.  The blue shot Oraze and talent of Bellies are the most dangerous offensive weapons available to coach Zupancic. The golie Stojanovic played a monumental while in race 3 race 4 has blundered into the goal scored by M. Just alternate performance of goalkeeper appears to be a possible weakness of the Slovenes.

There is no need for everyone to take home the win, including a scorching Odegar, giving the charge right to a team that is giving us yet another thrilling season.
