The semi-final between Servette and Zug is a reprise of the 2021 final. At that time, only in best-of-5 mode, EVZ crowned itself Swiss champion with three wins in a row. In addition to the first title after 23 years, the start of the final game is especially memorable. When asked, Jan Kovar also has to chuckle.
Because it was the captain of the EVZ who already gave a clear signal after 15 seconds in the first game: the Czech hit the Minister of Defense of Geneva, Henrik Tömmernes, with a massive check in the gang. The Swede got up, straightened his helmet and off we went.
“Geneva has a few big boys”
“It was a good start with a good check with perfect timing,” said Kovar today. Of course he won’t soon forget that. Does the 33-year-old now expect revenge? “I expect everything and I’m ready,” said Kovar, “we know Geneva has some big guys. It could be a more physical series than the quarter-finals.”
The center of the parade block with Gregory Hofmann and Dario Simion predicts a series with many fights “and one to enjoy”. After all, Servette had a great season. Despite all the anticipation of rumble hockey, Kovar warns against Geneva’s strong power play. He does not want to spend time in the penalty area. But in this semi-final hit it will certainly be discussed.
