Red Jackets’ Dominant Home Opener Against Fehervar Despite Personnel Concerns

2023-09-24 18:52:00

The first home game of the season understandably attracts not only loyal subscribers to the ice rink, but also many “onlookers”. Curiosity and interest are great, an initial inspection of the strength of the favorite club is carried out – as was the case at the Red Jackets’ home opener against Fehervar. However, the 3,801 spectators waited in vain for the usual team presentation before the game. The club consciously avoided a spectacle. With only two new additions (Raphael Herburger and Jan Mursak), no need was seen for this. A player introduction would have been a little shorter this time, as the KAC is already struggling with some personnel concerns.

In addition to the long-term injured Luka Gomboc, Daniel Obersteiner and Jesper Jensen Aabo, Kirk Furey also had to call on Raphael Herburger and goalie Sebastian Dahm. Herburger was injured in the game against Bozen, more detailed examinations (MRI) will follow today, but the newcomer is already expected to be out for a long time. Dahm also had to miss, but his injury is unlikely to be any worse. In addition, the Dane was brilliantly replaced by Florian Vorauer.

Despite the failures, the Red Jackets started the game strongly, with a lot of speed and aggressiveness they caused the Hungarians to falter early on – and were ultimately rewarded. Thomas Hundertpfund (6th) and Jan Mursak (9th) quickly made things clear. Even though the guests were able to score the next goal from a quick counterattack, the home side remained dominant in the game. The game was decided after the second third at the latest, when Thomas Hundertpfund and Co. pulled away unassailable to 6:2. Especially with new addition Mursak, the button may finally have been opened. As with the 2-0, the Slovenian proved his cold-snout in the 3-1, despite being numerically inferior, and also contributed two assists to the ultimately clear 7-3 victory. Lukas Haudum with a brace, as well as Simon Schwinger and David Maier were responsible for the other goals.
