Does the SCB issue throw DiDomenico off the team?

He was shocked again. In the last seconds of quarterfinal game 2 against Biel. When Chris DiDomenico first deliberately fired the puck at Victor Lööv van Biel, who was on the ground, he then hit Ramon Tanner and finally went on a rampage in front of the locker room. Only the courageous intervention of SCB media boss Reto Kirchhofer prevented the total escalation there.

“DiDomenico was frustrated. But of course we didn’t like to see him shoot Lööv and everything that happened after that. It was not necessary at all,” said SCB sports director Andrew Ebbett the day after. The rager is not suspended by the league – he got his first game penalty in the playoffs. The offenses from qualifying are expunged. The SCB should take matters into its own hands. By removing DiDomenico from the team and not letting him play from now on.

team has had enough of it for a long time

Correspondingly hot rumors that the SCB is flirting with it promptly do the rounds on Friday. Because although DiDomenico returns to Friborg at the end of the season, SC Bern’s image is now at stake and the problem is still her employee. And if there is another scandal with DiDomenico in the now really heated atmosphere in Biel on Saturday, then SCB is complicit. And in the external perception as illegible as the Canadian.

The fact that the team has long had DiDomenico’s faxes and that the recent theater around him is sucking so much energy also speaks for a banishment. Energy that is actually urgently needed on the ice.

SCB has nothing left to lose

However, sports director Ebbett does not want to know anything about a decisive decision by the sporting management to remove DiDomenico from the team: “The line-up is and remains the only decision of coach Toni Söderholm.” But of course there is the possibility that DiDomenico will be removed from the line-up: “If you are 0-2 behind in a series, anything is possible.”

It is now clear that Söderholm will not get the 34-year-old under control. It’s another good reason for eviction. But there are of course counterarguments. About DiDomenico’s undisputed sports class, which would be lost. It is also questionable whether Colton Sceviour, who was injured on Thursday, can play on Saturday. Without DiDomenico and Sceviour, a lot of attacking quality would be missing.

But SCB, with its back against the wall, has nothing left to lose. And perhaps such a measure would not only shake up your own team, but also surprise and mislead opponents Biel. Even if you had to play with Brett Supinski, Basel’s mercenary. The most important thing is with someone who is at the service of the team.
