Michael Raffl had a hard time getting through at the bottom. After only being able to play 25 games last season due to a torn syndesmotic ligament, he was struck again in the first friendly against Liberec in September. Lausanne’s co-captain suffered a serious knee injury. “That could have meant the end of my career,” the 35-year-old said on the club’s website.
For six weeks, the Austrian could only move with crutches. “The muscles were completely gone. This is where a complete build-up begins. I certainly wasn’t always mentally aware. There were constant ups and downs,” he told the Kleine Zeitung. It was the most difficult time of his career, the father of two said.
In mid-January, the striker was able to make his comeback after a long period of suffering with 629 NHL games to his name. “You wait and wait, like a child for Christmas,” he said. And coach Geoff Ward said: “It’s like having an extra coach – he’s one of our leaders.”
With the all-rounder or wonderwuzzi, as they would say in his homeland, Lausanne quickly freed himself from the line fight. In 12 games he recorded 6 goals and 6 assists. Since his return, only the top teams ZSC (2.07 points per game) and Fribourg (2.0) have been more successful than the Vaudois (1.92). Today Raffl & Co. would like to Irritating SCB, who cannot afford any missteps in the battle for a place in the top 6.
