In a low intensity game the home team took advantage of the careless defensive work of the Tigers at the end of the second period to score two goals. The rest of the game was nothing for the hockey lover, neither team had the capability to make fans jump from their seats tonight.
The game wasn't even a minute old when Finnish forward Ville Koistinen
passed the puck straight to Thomas Nüssli who didn't face an opponent
and beat Martin Gerber a first time. This game was important for both
teams. Kloten tried to stay in the top 8 while Langnau were trying to
gain points towards the 8 best teams. This was a wake-up call for the
home team. The Flyers now created chances and when Langnau's Chris
DiDomenico was benched for holding Peter Guggisberg deflected a hard
shot from Tommi Santala through his legs and between Punnenovs pipes
with 7 minutes played. In the following minutes the Flyers created a few
more chances but the period ended 1-1.
The second period started with 2 minor penalties against the home team,
goalie Gerber for moving the goal out of it's crease and Romano Lemm for
interference in the first 10 minutes. The Tigers created a a number of
chances but couldn't capitalize on the one-man advantage. With less than
4 minutes left, Romano Lemm stood just right when he got the pass from
behind the goal and the puck bounced off his stick into the goal in the
37th minute. And less than a minute later Matthias Bieber increased the
score to 3-1 when he scored unassisted. In the second period the guests
from the Emmental had chances to score but in the end had to accept two
quick goals because the puck wasn't cleared consequently in front of the
own goal.
The start of the third period was rather quiet, it didn't seem that the
Tigers were capable of turning the game around, the Flyers for once were
in control of the game. But out of nowhere, with 8 minutes left, Ville
Koistinen scored on a nice solo and a shot from the far face-off circle.
All of a sudden, the Tigers had the upper hand in this game. The
pressure suddenly was on the Flyers side. Head coach Laporte removed
Punnenovs for a 6th attacker but with a minute left it was Chad Kolarik
who scored the empty netter.
This win was important for Kloten as Lausanne, the 9th placed team, lost
in Davos. Langnau and Biel take the 11th and 12th spot but aren't out
of the play-off contention yet.
