The French should not be underestimated: in the warm-up, they were only defeated by Fribourg-Gottéron in overtime, and two days ago, a double strike by SC Bern within 18 seconds in the middle period was a blow to the Brûleurs de Loups. There were no further goals in that game.
After a successful start to the Champions Hockey League on Thursday, EVZ will face Grenoble away on Saturday evening at 8:15 p.m.
«We approach every game with the necessary seriousness and treat our opponents with respect. Grenoble will run a lot and not let up. We have to counter that physically and play to our strengths.»
Michael Liniger, Head Coach EVZ
An estimated 300 fans have also made the trip to Grenoble: four fan buses are traveling to France on Saturday morning, and many more fans are making their own way there by car or public transport. So the EVZ should have no shortage of support in the second game of their European adventure!
