Two buses for the dying swan Abdelkader

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

Justin Abdelkader really gets on the nerves of the SCRJ Lakers. A stick against Sandro Zangger with hardness, which did not result in a suspension despite a call from St. Gallen, and with theater interludes.

The American has now been fined a total of 6,000 francs for the fact that the 36-year-old EVZ striker did the dying swan twice last Sunday. If he is convicted for a swallow for the third time this season, a suspension will automatically follow.

Case 1: «Abdelkader faces SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers’ goal when he is checked several times with the stick by player Fabian Maier. At the last cross-check, Abdelkader falls to the ground,” the judge’s verdict reads. “The video footage shows that Abdelkader did not fall down during the previous cross-checks, which were more difficult. unnatural way. He flexes his right leg. This kink cannot be explained by the cross-check and is therefore incomprehensible. You can also see how he looks at the referee and makes a gesture with his right hand to draw attention to the scene. ” Maier received 2 penalty minutes on the spot.

“Let’s let his head fall back”

Case 2: «Abdelkader positions himself for the face-off in the face-off circle in his own defense zone. To his left is Sandro Zangger (SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers). He wants to prevent Abdelkader from getting into a suitable position and pushes his stick in the direction of Abdelkader. Abdelkader first pushes him away with his stick, but there is contact with the stick and his own face. Despite the contact with Zangger’s cane and Abdelkader’s face, his reaction is exaggerated. Abdelkader reacts slowly after the contact and drops his head back. This delayed response cannot be explained by a natural reaction.”

Before Abdelkader, Zug’s goal getter Gregory Hofmann had already been fined CHF 2,000 for an acting performance in a game against the Lakers.
