Recap
The decisive phase of the season started, when Kriens and Bern opened the 1/2 finals series. Kriens won pretty easily in the 1/4 finals against St. Gallen with 3:0. They have a quality squad led by outstanding player and legend Andy Schmid in their ranks. The favorite role is on their side, because they won 25 from 30 games in the regular season and playoffs. Also on Saturday, they won the Switzerland Cup after a 32:30 win against Kadetten Schaffhausen. The arbitral tribunal issued the Bern player, Simon Getzmann two game suspensions and a fine of 400 francs. In the playoff quarter-final game between Bern and Zurich at home, Simon Getzmann verbally insulted his opponent Luigj Quni and won the first two playoff semi-final games against Kriens. He is the second top scorer in the team and this is a big blow for the guests. Kriens has 6 wins in a row against today’s opponent and are heavy favorites to cover this line.
