Phil Lakos was thrown out of the rink with a game misconduct penalty.
Weird dress rehearsal for the new season: The Slovak club Nitra breaks off a test match against the spusu Vienna Capitals due to hardship.
No friendly game! In the match between NK Nitra and the Caps, things got hot on Sunday. The coach of the Slovak first division club, Antonin Stavjana, pulls the rip cord. The head coach lets his players resign in minute 39. Before that, there were hardness deposits on both sides.
In the middle third the game gets heated. Raubein Phil Lakos brings down a Slovak. The referees will issue a 5 minute plus game penalty. During the five-minute shortfall, HK Nitra extended their lead by two goals to 5: 1. The game is characterized by penalties throughout. The cool boxes of both teams are almost never unoccupied. After Vienna's youngster Lukas Piff fought a powerful duel with a Slovak in minute 38, the emotions boil over shortly afterwards. The coach then decides to abandon the game.
Dave Barr, Head-Coach of the Capitals: “We have decided to play a hard, physical but of course fair game in the final preparatory game before the start of the league. Unfortunately, the referees apparently did not have their best day. Accordingly, it is heated We can take some positive things away from the game, although we were 1: 5 behind. I was impressed by the way our team stuck together, precisely in the situations in which it was rough on the ice. Mine Players played as a team. But it is also clear: We have to avoid penalties. Nitra scored three goals in power play, two of them when we received a 5-minute penalty. If you are outnumbered a lot, your special teams get tired , The rest of the players, on the other hand, just sit on the bench. You never get into a rhythm of the game. We have to work on that. “
