Bern 4 Zug 1 (4-3 in series)

Bern did win the seventh game of semifinals series against Zug with a powerful 4-1. Like that home team earned the final ticket, they will play Fribourg for the cup.

As expected both teams played at the beginning a extremely disciplined game. Nevertheless, there have been good opportunities on both sides, but the goalies managed to keep the score without goals.

Although the home team fell behind at beginning of second period, Bern managed to fought back, first by Christoph Bertschy at minute 33 and then by Travis Roche and Ivo Rüthemann.

Even with Marco Bührer in bad shape(14 games 89% saves) in this series, Bern demonstrated until now a great fight spirit and we are certainly to assist a great final between Fribourg(1°) and Bern(2°).

Play-out

Lakers 5 Langnau 2 (4-3 in series)

Langnau must save their season on the League qualification. The tigers lose the seventh game 5-2 against the Lakers. As of Thursday, they will play against the NLB champion Lausanne.

If the Tigers are in precarious situation right now, is their fault. They had the series done last Saturday at minute 59. and they managed to lose that game and not "show off" Monday. As a result they are in trouble and their future could pass for LNB in two weeks because Lausanne is a serious treat.

Foreign players Robbie Earl and Juraj Kolnik led the home team, and in seven game the Lakers had never been menaced.
