The Finals in SKY Alps Hockey League come to Asiago for the second time on Saturday! After their second defeat on the road in a row the club from Asiago is already under pressure in game 4 at home. The „Yellow-Reds“ need another home-win to tie the series again. In Final number 4 the team of Tom Barasso builds their hopes on their home strength again: At home Krystofer Kolanos and Co. won so far 20 from 26 games in the 2016/17-season. Besides in the last four clashes between the two finalists the home-club always was successful in the end. Important was always the first goal of the game so far in the Finals: In all three games won that team, that scored the 1:0 in the game. Most dangerous was so far in the Playoffs Giulio Scandella, who made already nine goals for the „Yellow-Reds“.  Krystofer Kolanos (ASH) and Alex Frei (RIT) were both successful seven times so far in the Post Season.
 
After two home-wins the Rittner Buam miss just two more wins for the title. In the Finals the team of Riku Lehtonen played strong so far: Janis Sprukts and Co. took already 122 shots on the net in three games! In Finale number 3 the Rittner Buam took even 51 shots (!), while their opponent tested goalie Patrick Killeen just 19 times. In the end the Italian Champion celebrated a 2:0-Shut-out-win and took the lead in the best-of-seven-Finals again. The team of Riku Lehtonen has now the chance to get three matchpucks with a road-win at Asiago on Saturday. On the road the Rittner Buam played strong the whole season: The South Tyroleans won 20 from 24 road-games in the SKY Alps Hockey League and never lost two road-games in a row. Besides the Italian Champion was successful in the semifinals in game 4 at Cortina and won the best-of-five-series with 3:1…
