Tops and flops of the month: All hell broke loose in February

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

It’s wonderful how the Swede storms into the attacking zone against Kloten with a lot of momentum, after which defender Sidler dazzlingly plays out with a beautiful move and scores.

In an act of class, the massive Zurich native initiates a shorthand and reversal against SCB. He first asserts himself against Untersander, then covers the target excellently and not only eats Knight and Vermin, but also has an eye for Grant, who refines the action with astonishing stick technique.

The EVZ tries to prevent the defeat in Davos and replaces the goalkeeper with an extra field player. Captain Jan Kovar (33) plays a back pass that misses the recipient – and ends up in the empty goal. An own goal that fits into the black series of the EVZ (now 8 bankruptcies in a row).

The fans in Fribourg can hardly cope anymore: first the ZSC star attacks Nati colleague Bertschy, so that MySports referee Mandioni deems a remaining exclusion and a ban appropriate, neither of which happens. Then Malgin manages to equalize late on, which he celebrates with a provocative celebration after being booed continuously.

You won’t believe your eyes: the German colossus Linesman Gurtner seems to be throwing a punch. Only forensic research with video footage from all angles shows that Fohrler hit the referee in the face with the Ajoie Canadian’s glove when he tried to free himself from Gélinas. The Ambri warhorse therefore gets away with four bans. Still too much for Ambri, which is why the residents of Ticino are trying to appeal. Zug striker Tim Muggli gets one more, hitting linesman Schlegel.

In Biel, events happen so quickly and nerves are tense. First, striker Damien Brunner angrily hits a drinking bottle against the plexiglass in the penalty area in Rapperswil-Jona. Then masseur Karel Malis pushes the injured Hischier into the cabin and abuses the door. The day after the 5-0 defeat against the Lakers, sports director Martin Steinegger (52) no longer wanted to give coach Petri Matikainen a job guarantee before he fired the former police officer a few hours later and took over the job with the gang himself. “The speed, the athleticism, the individual skills – that is towards the NHL level,” said the fired Finn and former champion coach of Klagenfurt to the Austrian “Kleine Zeitung” about the National League. ‘I am grateful to have been given this opportunity. It was a great experience.”

Perhaps Matikainen would still be Biel’s coach if Gottéron and Nati’s goalkeeper Reto Berra had not magically prevented Sallinen from scoring with his stick on the line two days before the Finn was sent off against the Zeelanders.

The junior national attacker from the Chur suburb of Felsberg, who does the KV at the HCD office, takes advantage of his opportunity, scores his first two NL goals and can play alongside the foreigners Rasmussen and Stransky. Against Biels Rathgeb, the 19-year-old showed with a straight line to the left that he can also defend himself against the big boys.

“Even a blind chicken can find a grain,” said the 27-year-old defender, who moved from Kloten to Bern this season, after his first NL goal since the 2015/16 season, when he still played for his regular team. clubDavos.

In the Champions Hockey League, Servette triumphed in the final against Skelleftea. And in the next match in the national competition, the Finnish goalkeeper still seems to be on cloud nine as he charges out of the goal in Bern and starts dribbling, almost putting on a show with a pirouette.

Finns, Swedes, Canadians, Czechs, Americans and a few Swiss are always the trump card in our competition. But in February, an Austrian made his mark on the competition. After a long history of suffering that almost ended his career, the 35-year-old captain made his comeback in mid-January and led his team out of the swamp to the best points average of the month (2.29). Lausanne just has no chance or point against qualifying winner ZSC.
