Fribourg dominates Flyers, beats Kloten 7:1

The story of the 3rd game is quickly told. Too many indivual mistakes by the Flyers, combined with too many minor penalties equaled a 7:1 defeat by the Dragons from Fribourg who were better prepared, avoided the mistakes that led to their defeat in the previous game. Another indicator was the shots on goal statistics: 49:25 was the clear verdict for Gottéron. Kloten had already lost the game after the 3rd goal, was unable to show a reaction. Game 4 will be played in Kloten tomorrow and it will be interesting to see how the Flyers react to the defeat that might still be in the heads of the players.
