SWISS HOCKEY LEAGUE PLAYOFFS - SCB vs HCL - Game 2
1.3.2005 - One of the few chances SCB got their hockey sticks on the puck----
5-2 win by Lugano over SCB, Game 2 - Series Tied 1-1
For all the hockey fans from the NHL who are pretty much watching daisies grow because of the non-existant contract negotiations, I had the chance to feast my eyes on the defending Swiss Hockey Champion, SCB . After getting off to an explosive start, the Luganese countered with a slew of goals , 4 to be exact in the second period, to the surprise of SCB.
The 16 000 plus, sellout crowd in the pyramid shaped ice arena was extremely quiet as SCB tried to get back into the game. There were hardly any passes which were utilized, moreover there was no muscle added in this critical 2nd game of the Playoffs. David Aebischer, the Colorado Goalie and Swiss native added muscle in the net, as he blocked a late rush by SCB in the third period.
With the win, HCLugano have Home advantage, which means that the next game will be in Lugano.
