The Villachers are ridiculed after the derby, the Vienna Capitals hope

When a team loses 8-0, it’s always painful. However, if this result happens in a derby, then it will be a topic of conversation in ice hockey-crazy Carinthia for a long time. Record champions GET UP finished it on Wednesday Villacher SV in Klagenfurt 8:0 and takes the top spot in the tabler ICE Hockey League in attack.

At the beginning of the more intense carnival season, the people of Villach have to put up with ridicule and malice. VSV coach Tray Tuomie had to admit: “We were the worse team from the first to the 60th minute. The KAC also deserved to win at this level.”

It’s about 6th place against Linz

After the debacle, the Villachers fell from fourth place to 6th and have a direct duel for the last place on Friday in Linz (ORF Sport+), which would mean direct entry into the quarter-finals. But there are still 39 points to be awarded.

They hope so too Vienna Capitals which came last on Friday Asiago and want to polish up the miserable home record of 12 points from 17 games. The Italians, who started the season well, are showing signs of dissolution and have lost the last 14 games, on Wednesday 2:9 against Innsbruck.

The Capitals could have a defender Dominique Heinrich make a comeback after an eight-game break. Seven Viennese players are still on the injured list.
