Long live King Henrik! The Swedish Servette defender will be missed, who returns to his homeland Frölunda. But he’s still doing magic in Switzerland. And how! Against SCB he takes deep into his box of tricks and hits between his own legs with his back to the goal. The 32-year-old is also the most successful goalscorer of February with 6 goals and 11 points.
And again it is a Finn who shines with a football action on the ice. In January it was Servette goalkeeper Teemu Hartikainen, who delivered the assist of the month with a foot, this time it’s ZSC striker Juho Lammikko, who serves Chris Baltisberger with a chop trick and delights the fans.
In Zurich, however, not only beautiful actions can be seen, but also shocking words can be heard. Lions coach Marc Crawford insulted Finnish referee Mikko Kaukokari as an “asshole” in the 2-3 win against Biel. He has been suspended for one match for his homophobic blunders. The choleric Canadian apologizes, saying, “I failed miserably at that point.”
SCB character Chris DiDomenico also crosses the line: against Biel, after a fight in the locker room, he again attacks and grabs Yannick Rathgeb. And against the SCRJ Lakers for the third time this season, he is caught doing too much theater during a flying routine and is automatically suspended for a game. In addition, he prematurely terminates his contract with SCB at the end of the season – and returns to arch-rival Friborg on a two-year contract.
HCD keeper Gilles Senn looks defeated against Servette as Vincent Praplan finishes in front of the open goal. But then Nati defender Michael Fora makes the last-minute save with a stick defense. Senn knows who to thank afterwards.
After Carl Klingberg was fined 2,000 francs for a swallow in Switzerland for the third time, the EVZ Swede not only unsuccessfully appealed against the verdict, but also charged: “Either all foreigners are fraudsters and deceivers, or there is something problematic about this system that results in more such sentences for foreigners. This is not okay for me. I feel they are more after us than after the Swiss.” League director Denis Vaucher categorically rejects the accusation that foreigners are discriminated against.
This season it is Kloten defender David Reinbacher (19, Austria) who is attracting massive numbers of NHL scouts. But in the future, the Swiss Life Arena in Zurich could house more scouts. Because ZSC coach Marc Crawford lets the only 16-year-old defender Daniil Ustinkov play. And the Moscow-born captain of the Swiss U17 national team coolly shows he is blessed with a lot of talent. You should be hearing a lot from him in the future. However, he will not be a subject for the NHL draft until the summer of 2025.
Kloten made it to the pre-play-offs as a promoted team. Helmsman Miro Aaltonen played a major role in this. The 29-year-old may not be as spectacular as his lively striker colleague Jonathan Ang, but the class and roster of the Finnish Olympic champion, who has been a successful striker in the KHL for the past four seasons, is impressive. Everything makes sense with him.
