The DiDomenico Protocol

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

Match 1 on Tuesday in Biel

DiDomenico did the first mini-provocation 20 minutes before the game. Most SCB players disappeared back into the catacombs after the warm-up, but the Canadian grabbed pucks from Fabian Ritzmann and shot them on goal. Directly in front of the Tribune Sud with the Biel fans who confirmed this with whistles. DiDomenico seems to enjoy it.

Whistles are his constant companions this evening. For example, when the SCB team is introduced by the stadium speaker and its name is called. Or after each longer puck contact. After numerous heated incidents over the years, Biel fans’ eyes constantly wander with their number 1 public enemy.

The game runs past DiDomenico, he can’t put accents. First of all, he controls himself. It takes 36 minutes to the first love affair. For this he chose Noah Schneeberger. Things really get going for the first time four minutes later, DiDomenico jumping on Beat Forster, who is actually engaged with Colton Sceviour, and goes into the cooler for an illegal body attack.

The match is lost 0:3, in the closing seconds DiDomenico is looking for another fight with Forster. It gets hot in the gang, then there are a few beatings and wild words. But Forster reacts calmly. Biel sports director Martin Steinegger says afterwards: “He shouldn’t overdo it with Forster. If it gets too colorful for him, it will end badly for DiDomenico.”

Match 2 on Thursday in Bern

The other side of Chris DiDomenico. He scored in his first game, and with an ingenious move squeezed the puck into the net, leaving Biel’s defender Robin Grossmann and goalkeeper Harri Säteri stunned. It could be his night.

But it won’t. Although DiDomenico tries his best, there are always more promising scenes, but without anything countable coming out of them. And there are the first antics. Around the 9th minute, when he bumped into goalkeeper Säteri while driving past. But he stays as cool as the wintry temperatures in his home country of Finland and pretends nothing happened.

Biel presents with 4:2. This game also slips away from SCB and that annoys DiDomenico. In the beginning there are still small frictions with Ramon Tanner and Etienne Froidevaux. But then, after a check from Jesper Olofsson, he gets really angry and tackles Fabio Hofer, Olofsson and Tino Kessler one after the other with body charges. When they don’t respond, DiDomenico seems almost offended. It’s up in the air – there’s more to come.

Things escalate in the last seconds. When DiDomenico fires a puck at Victor Lööv, who is on the ground, Tanner catches it and DiDomenico then beats him up. Both are sent into the shower. On the way to the cloakroom, Tanner tells a Biel supervisor, “He belongs in the madhouse!”

Meanwhile, DiDomenico is beside himself and takes on Biel’s extra foreigner and compatriot Riley Sheahan, who insults him. The “F word” is used about 50 times. In extremis, SCB media chief Reto Kirchhofer can prevent DiDomenico from completely panicking. After several initially unsuccessful attempts, he finally manages to escort the frenzy into the cabin.

What happens now? On Saturday in game 3 in Biel?
