Will EHC Biel lose the head now?

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

In Game 3, SCB was the more disciplined team for the first time. Biel managed to be man down twice at times and Mike Künzle was ruled out for the rest of the game, which also resulted in the first suspension in this series. A two match suspension that will hurt Biel as Künzle is the team’s most ruthless vole.

Veteran Beat Forster’s verdict: “We haven’t lost our heads, but it’s true, we’ve made things a little easier for the Bernese.”

The fine line with confidence

In games 1 and 2, it was Bern’s mistakes rather than Biel’s irresistible class that in any case secured victory. This has clearly led to a false sense of self-confidence. In Match 3 the Seelanders were way too bumpy to win. The people of Biel have not yet shown their consistently good ice hockey for 60 minutes, which is known from qualifying, in the playoffs.

“The very last wish in game 3 at SCB was perhaps bigger than it was with us. But we are still ahead. And it’s good for us that we’ve now seen that more is needed,” says Forster.

The past in mind

In 2019, Biel also led 2-0 against Bern, but lost the semi-final series 3-4. Overall, Biel has never won a playoff series against the canton’s rivals in four attempts. Should SCB win their home game on Tuesday, it will inevitably be a problem. The people of Biel must somehow manage to leave the past behind. There is no doubt that the conditions this season are better than ever to beat the SCB curse.

Again Forster: “We are convinced of ourselves and know that it will be very difficult for Bern to beat us four times.”
