HOKEJ Rakúsko: Jesenice - Linz

Last chance for Jesenice today, since Linz leads 2:1 in best of five. When playing at Linz they were a better opponent in the first period, but made some huge mistakes in third and than lost 4:3. It's important to notice that Jesenice lead 2:3 in 53:00. Jim Boni, Linz coach, said: "Jesenice were a better team, but we all have to thank them for the gifts they gave us at the end of the thitrd period." True, when they lead 2:3 all they had to do is not to play as they have won already. Today Jesenice's players realize what a chance for half finale they had at Linz, but some of them said: "We will win today and go back to Linz one more time!".

It's also important to notice that Linz has small chances when playing 5 on 5, but has great and powerful power play and most of the goals are reached thorugh PP. Goalie Penker is in good and stable form, but still defence is not the best part of their game. I see Jesenice as faster players than Linz, but sure Linz plays more agressive and "dirty" hockey.

Today the best attacker and scorer Conny Strömberg is back in Jesenice and with help of around 4.000 fans this game will not be an easy one for Linz. Jesenice's fans are also one of the loudest in the league.

Home win wort 6/10 for me.
