Waiting for the play-out final
The EHC Kloten showed a sporting sign of life against Lugano: after about 153 minutes of rest they scored another goal and also took a point – so the sixth defeat in a row becomes a statistical side note. True to the motto: if your reputation is tarnished, you live unabashedly.
The place in the play-out final against Ajoie would be definitively determined. Whether this match, expected by those not bordering on sensationalism, will actually be played depends on the Swiss League: the semi-finals of the play-offs will be completed no later than March 15, the play-out final would be the start the next day. . However, only if Olten or Visp (or both) reach the final, as only these clubs are eligible for promotion.
The intention behind this unsportsmanlike rule change is clear: relegation must be made impossible under all circumstances, even if fans clearly voted in favor of an equally simple promotion/relegation scenario in a National League reform survey. and transparent as possible.
For Kloten and Ajoie this means: After the lottery matches until the end of qualifying on March 4, there will be an 11-day break. You can use this to prepare for a nail-biting best-of-seven series that might not even happen.
People from Ticino do things
Ambri against Davos – according to eyewitnesses from both camps, that was one of the best, most intense and most mature matches of the season so far. Even the Ambri camp said after the 2-1 that Davos certainly deserved a point. Of course, that’s easy to say if you have all the points yourself. The two trios (against Davos and Ajoie) give Ambri extra esprit for the final sprint: you can still cherish the (silent) hope that one of the seventh or eighth places in the play-in will get a second chance. The remaining programme: Servette (a), Fribourg (h), Kloten (a).
Lugano crisis? Oh no
After Friday’s lively 5-2 win against the SCL Tigers, Lugano has to admit that they conceded a goal and also left a point behind the previously weak, powerless and goalless EHC Kloten. Gosh. The question of whether this could be a sign of the beginning of a mini-crisis is not entirely serious. Lugano still has these matches ahead of it: Fribourg (h), Biel (a), Lakers (h).
Napkin – a hot iron
Sapperlot, what a week for the master. First the French-speaking Swiss triumph in the Champions League, then they continue to conquer the hot potato in the championship. Wins in Bern and against the in-form Lakers are on the line – and the hunt for the top 6 continues next Tuesday with the Léman Derby on foreign ice. The remaining program of the defending champion: Lausanne (a), Ambri (h), Zug (a), Biel (h).
Don’t miss it: On Tuesday, HC Davos will try to improve their record (0:6 points) against bottom-placed Ajoie. So far, the Graubünden have lost both matches 1:2.
