EVZ has to step down as master

class=”sc-97fd9fa8-0 jNFKxv”>

Can Zug make the title hat-trick?

“No, they can’t,” says SRF expert Christian Weber. His SRF expert colleague Philippe Furrer also says, “I don’t think so.” MySports expert Sven Helfenstein immediately says: “No, the people of Zug are no longer hungry.” His MySports colleague Lukas Flüeler also says no: “The last five percent will be missing.” It is therefore clear to a majority of experts: the EVZ must step down as boss in the coming weeks.

The title holder of the last two years only gets the credit from Ueli Schwarz (MySports) and Timo Helbling (MySports). “Yes, the hat-trick is possible. I have the impression that the people of Zug are stable enough now,” says Schwarz. And Helbling says: “Zug have been through a lot in qualifying – that makes them stronger and makes them even more dangerous for me than if they just marched through.”

However, Helbling does not want to venture into the branches and declare EVZ his only favorite for the title. He has two – for him the ZSC Lions are just as important: “They have so much potential and Marc Crawford is an absolute coach fox.” For Weber, Furrer and Flüeler, however, the ZSC Lions are the clear candidate for the championship number 1. “They have everything it takes to win the title,” says Weber. Furrer adds, “To me, they are the strongest of any playoff team.” And Flüeler says: “You still have an outstanding invoice from last year.”

Meanwhile, Helfenstein made a bold statement: “Whoever wins the quarter-final series between Zurich and Davos becomes champion.” And as he tips HCD to the semi-finals, the record champions get their 32nd title from him. Furrer also came up with a surprise by seeing Bern as ZSC opponent in the final: “The pre-playoffs put a lot of pressure on SCB, but now the team is activated and they know how playoffs work.”

Who will prevail in the quarterfinals?

If the six experts surveyed are correct in their forecasts, the SCRJ Lakers and Lugano could already handle their vacation plans, which are current as of next week. Because nobody trusts the surprising qualification third against the defending champion from Zug to reach the semi-finals. The same goes for Lugano, who lost to qualifier Servette.

There is more disagreement for the other semi-final series. Flüeler, like Furrer, relies on SCB; unlike the other experts, they believe that the Mutzen will take out the second-ranked Biel. Helfenstein swims against the current, who eventually sees that his eventual champion Davos has an advantage over the ZSC Lions. The other five rely on the ZSC Lions.

Who must qualify for the competition?

But it’s not just about the sausage in the front, but also in the back. The SCL Tigers and Ajoie battle against relegation in the playout final. The loser will face La Chaux-de-Fonds or Olten in the qualifier.

The experts agree 5:1 that the Emmental will triumph over the Jura. “Langnau is more balanced than Ajoie over four lines,” says Furrer. Helfenstein thinks, “The Tigers have the better defense and they need it to win this series.” And Schwarz also says, “The Tigers triumph when the foreigners reach their peak and the goalies perform.”

Only Weber is out of step, he sees problems coming to Langnau: “Ajoie has the advantage that it has been preparing for the play-outs for a long time and has been able to achieve good results lately. The SCL Tigers, on the other hand, lost momentum after a good start. I also have the impression that Ajoie is not your thing.”

Who is the top expert of the six TV experts? The first answers will be provided in two weeks, and the final statement will be available at the end of April.
