Capitals lost the first victory that was believed to be certain

by alex

From 3: 1 to 3: 4 against Fehervar – the Viennese are last in the ICE Hockey League after their third defeat.

4,700 fans came to the Capitals' first home game of the season. After the two defeats against KAC and Znojmo, the Viennese were able to compete with a full squad for the first time. However, this did not yet have any effect on the result.

The defense with Fischer, Dodero, Wall and Karlsson seemed safer and the offensive wrote for the first time after 111 seconds by the strikingly good Danish team striker Nicolai Meyer. But with three unnecessary penalties and three fewer goals conceded, the Viennese gave a 3-1 lead in the final third.

In the gate of the Capitals, Starkbaum replaced the injured Kickert, whose examination results suggest a break of a few weeks. Therefore, the Capitals registered with the Swede Steen, the legionary stormman of the farm team, also in the ICEHL. The Viennese will continue with their home game against Innsbruck on Saturday.

“We have to play smarter and simpler when we lead. Vienna is a top club in the league, we have to start winning, ”said Meyer. The Dane received great praise from his coach. Dave Barr said: “Nicolai was great apart from the goals too. He can make all the difference. That's a positive aspect of the game.” It was known in Vienna that Fehervar had a good power play. “Unfortunately, they took advantage of every mistake we made,” said Barr.

KAC and Salzburg lost

The previously flawless KAC received an unexpected rebuff. The champions lost 6-0 to league returnees Znojmo. Title co-favorite Salzburg also remained without points: The Bulls were already 2: 6 behind against Dornbirn and reduced it to 5: 6.

Because Linz made the first point at 1: 2 nV, the Capitals fell back to last place.
