Rappi-Jordan gets away with a stick

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

The closing minutes of the first quarterfinal game between the Lakers and Zug are heated. A check by EVZ striker Dario Allenspach – he got a suspension – against the head of Rappi’s Jeremy Wick leads to a wild brawl. Lakers defenseman Michal Jordan caught Nico Gross. His teammate Tobias Geisser tries to snatch the Czech. When he succeeds, Jordan hits Gross’s head with the stick, who previously lost his helmet during the battle to make things worse. The man from Zug sustains a bleeding cut.

In the review in the MySports studio, expert and former referee Tobias Wehrli is firm: “We see hitting the stick, with one hand, but it’s quite dangerous. You can’t tolerate that.” He speaks of an attack on a player. And further: «I am convinced that there will be a ban after that. I don’t think he will play in the next game.”

But the union did not report the morning after the game. There is no procedure, Jordan’s action is considered unintentional. EVZ team leader Reto Kläy strongly disagrees with this decision. The people of Zug are considering appealing. “It’s hard for me to understand how that shouldn’t have been intentional.”

Lakers alone with five foreigners

If the Lakers also had to do without Jordan, it would have been steep. Because: Already in the 13th minute Emil Djuse is injured. After a duel with Zug’s Justin Abdelkader, both players fall and slide into the gang. The SCRJ defenseman was unlucky and broke his left foot.

The failure of the Swede, Rappi’s chief of defense, is bitter. Because foreigners Niklas Jensen and Jordan Schroeder are still injured, the Lakers will play their second game on Friday with only five foreigners.
