The Rittner Buam SkyAlps remain the absolute overtime specialists in the Alps Hockey League. For the third time in the current play-off campaign, the South Tyroleans had to go into overtime - all three times they left the ice as winners. Even S.G. Cortina Hafro have six overtimes to their name in the postseason. Only two of them were won by last year's finalists. Doubly bitter: the equalizer last Saturday, which took Ritten into overtime, was scored just 22 seconds before the buzzer. The playoff top scorer of the Rittner Buam (sixth playoff goal) Alan Lobi then provided the decider in the 94th minute. However, two Cortina cracks have scored even more often than Lobi in the current post-season campaign: Tommaso Traversa and Diego Cuglietta each have seven playoff goals. However, both are excellently taken out of the game by Ritten and have yet to score in the final series. On Tuesday, it will also depend on these two cracks whether they can free themselves from the compact Ritten defense in order to achieve their first final success this season. The Rittner Buam SkyAlps, on the other hand, have the opportunity to earn their first match pucks for their second title in Alps Hockey League history on Tuesday.
