The madness of Salzburg or: How Troy Bourke predicted the goals

Bourke as a match winner

“I didn’t do much, Robertson had the idea and the hands to do it,” said Bourke. Who became the player of the evening: first with his equalizer to make it 5:5, which went into the goal from ex-Salzburg player Raphael Herburger’s skate, then with the winning goal. For Bourke, it was a nice confirmation after two mixed years in which he stood out in terms of play but was constantly dealing with long-term injuries.

“Coach, I have such a feeling today!”

He apparently suspected the madness on the day before the game. “There was a funny episode,” said coach Oliver David after the match. “During the morning training, Bourki came to me and said: Coach, if you need me: I’m ready for any shift, I have that feeling today.” The feeling shouldn’t deceive him.

Criticism is 25 times more expensive than violence

Unfortunately, the ICE Hockey League still has no (fingertip) feeling: it sanctioned the brutal attack by Finn van Ee against Salzburg’s Benjamin Nissner with a fine of 200 (!!) euros. As a reminder: Peter Schneider was fined 5,000 euros for criticizing the league; a foul that leaves a player lying on the ice covered in blood is sanctioned 200 euros. We’re talking about a factor of 25 here: criticism of the league is punished 25 times more than assault in ice hockey. Now we know what makes the ICE Hockey League tick.
