Forget. Or “short memory”. You hear these terms again and again in the playoffs. The teams should no longer think about what happened in the game before. Even though that was just two days ago. Be it after bitter defeats or great victories. Because everyone knows: It’s not one game that counts, it takes four wins.
Today it will also depend on how well the Black Wings can forget. Shawn St-Amant will be there again. He didn’t get a ban, but he got a fine. Niklas Würschl will probably no longer be on the ice for the Black Wings in this series. To be on the safe side, he had to spend the night on Monday in a Salzburg hospital.
A cauldron awaits the two teams in Linz today. The game will be very well attended, if not sold out. There have been no seats since the weekend; on Monday afternoon there were still just over 500 standing room tickets available.
