    The best players of the game
    SC Bern: #72 David Jobin
    Black Wings Linz: #88 Dan Dasilva (21:50:05)
     
    The game is over and Bern colects another three points in the Group M and takes the first place in the Group with six points advantage.
     
    Game over.
     
    59:47
    Bern just simply controls the game with no bigger problems.
     
    59:00
    Last minute of the game.
     
    58:29
    And fans are getting quite loud now. But it won't probbaly help their team to tie the game.
     
    58:00
    Last two minutes of the third period. And probably of the whole game.
     
    57:45
    Offside Bern. Faceoff in the neutral zone.
     
    56:58
    Moreover Bern is playing with the puck most of the time in last couple of minutes.
     
    56:09
    Bern's playing solid in its defence. Linz has a really tough job to score two goals to make the game tied.
     
    54:50
    The atmosphere is quite calm in the arena. You can hear couple of drums but always only for a few seconds.
     
    54:34
    Scramble in front of Genoni after McLean's shot from the left wing. But no penalties are coming.
     
    53:30
    Linz should start playing more physical game because now Bern gets everything almost for free.
     
    52:26
    Loik in front of Genoni with a backhand shot, but it wasn't strong enough to surprise Bern's goalie.
     
    51:51
    Linz controls the puck but isn't able to move forward.
     
    51:19
    First bigger physical contact in this game. Krueger (Bern) has a problem with Dorion (Linz) so both get two minutes for roughing.
     
    50:50
    Linz is caught in offside.
     
    49:55
    Linz is trying but Austrian team can't make it in front of Genoni for a longer time.
     
    48:28
    Dangerous scramble in front of Genoni. The puck was free but no one couldn't get it under control.
     
    47:19
    Also Bern has started to do something and not just waiting with the puck in front of Genoni.
     
    46:10
    Important goal for Linz. Also fans looks more cheerful and in the game than in the beginning of the period.
     
    45:46
    Goal for Linz!
    What a lucky goal. DAN DASILVA was maybe a baseball player in his previous life, because the way he scored this good looks like that. After Hisey's pass he found the puck in the air and smashed it in the net. Assist: Rob Hisey.
     
    44:30
    3:30 in the third period and only two shots from both team.
     
    43:44
    Robert Lukas tried it but his shot went high of Genoni's net.
     
    42:52
    Bern has no need to do anything. So only controls the puck and waits for a chance how to make it near Ouzas.
     
    41:35
    Nice, but not effective situation by Bern. There was definitely one pass more than needed.
     
    40:37
    Both teams already with one attemp in the third period.
     
    40:01
    Start of 3rd period.
     
    Next period begins at 21.13.
     
    Stats of the first period
    Shots: 9 – 13
    PIM: 6 – 2
     
    Although Linz played quite good and dangerous game in the second period, Bern was able to score three goals. One in the first minute of the period thanks Ebbett, second one in the middle of the period after accurate one-timer by Krueger and third one thanks Jobin.
     
    40:00
    2nd period finished.
     
    39:42
    Good chance for Ebbett, who missed the puck in the last moments of his attemp.
     
    39:00
    Last minute of the second period.
     
    38:50
    Bern still in front of Ouzas.
     
    38:13
    Moser's line with a good chance in the PP. But Ouzas was fast enough to find the puck near his right post.
     
    37:43
    Piche (Linz) gets two minutes. Another PP for Bern.
    36:53 JOBIN - 0:3
     
    36:53
    Goal for Bern!
    But now Bern had enough luck and scores its third goal. After a scramble behind the net DAVID JOBIN found himself with the puck in between of the circles and sent the puck right over Ouzas' right pad to the net. Assist: Marc Arcobello.
     
    36:08
    Linz still under pressure. But Bern can't take advantage from that.
     
    35:10
    Bern didn't solve this 2 – 1 situation as should have. In the end Ouzas didn't even have to make a save. Linz defence worked well in this case.
     
    34:45
    Glove save by Genoni against Dasilva's shot.
     
    34:34
    And another offside call against Linz. Faceoff in the neutral zone.
     
    33:50
    Robert Lukas was little bit fastera nd got the pass to an offside position.
     
    33:37
    Loik on the ice. Linz with five skaters.
     
    33:06
    But now it turned to be the "old style". Bern loses puck quite often and has almost no chances.
     
    32:24
    It looks definitely better than the previous two PP's from Bern.
     
    31:37
    Curtis Loik (Linz) gets two minutes for hooking. So Bern has its third PP in this game.
     
    30:51
    Altmann's one-timer wasn't accurate and hit only on defenceman standing in front of him.
     
    29:53
    But Linz doesn't give up. McLean with a good shot. But only another save for Genoni.
    29:24 KRUEGER - 0:2
     
    29:24
    Goal for Bern!
    Bern scores another goal after a break situation. Simon Moser skated along the boarding and sent the puck on JUSTIN KRUEGER who was in the right circle. His one-timer went between Ouzas's pad right in the net. Assist: Simon Moser.
     
    28:23
    Bern is back in the tempo but struggles little bit with passing.
     
    27:10
    But Bern is an experienced team. It's not easy for Linz to create that open positions as in the PP.
     
    26:05
    Linz had so many chances during its PP and now continues with a pressure.
     
    25:05
    How this couldn't have been a goal? Altmann sent the puck on an empty net but Moser appeared there and jumped to the shot.
     
    24:35
    Linz still in the zone. But Genoni and his defence is doing amazing job
     
    23:39
    What a chance! But Hisey shots from the right circle high of the net.
     
    23:27
    Penalty for Bodenmann (Bern) – two minutes for hooking.
     
    23:16
    Chance for Linz now. But Genoni stays solid.
     
    22:45
    Not even three minutes in the second period and Ouzas has already as many saves as in whole first period.
     
    22:20
    And another good position for Marco Muller. But also this attemp from the right circle was quite easy for Ouzas.
     
    21:46
    And Bern continues with a pressure. Hischier had a nice position on left but couldn't score.
    20:35 EBBETT - 0:1
     
    20:35
    Goal for Bern!
    Simon Bodenmann made it with the puck in front of Ouzas where he left the puck on ANDREW EBBETT, whose shot was perfectly hidden so Ouzas couldn't see anything. Assist: Simon Bodenmann.
     
    20:01
    Start of 2nd period.
     
    Next period begins at 20.18.
     
    Stats of the first period
    Shots: 6 – 5
    PIM: 6 – 4
     
    Quite slow start into the match. In the beginning of the period it was Bern who looked more active and controled the puck most of the time, but Linz was getting better during whole period and in the end it was Austrian team who had more from the game.
     
    20:00
    1st period finished.
     
    19:25
    Most of the time puck is behind Genoni's net. Nothing serious is happening.
     
    19:00
    Last minut of the first period.
     
    17:36
    Good pass by Blum on the second post, where Moser was waiting for the puck. But when he got it Ouzas was already on his place ready to make an important save.
     
    17:10
    Moreover icing for Bern.
     
    16:45
    But nothing has changed since the first PP. Bern is not playing good with in one-man-advantage.
     
    16:09
    Another penalty for Altmann. Linz's player gets two minutes for tripping. Secont PP for Bern.
     
    15:31
    Bern under pressure. But all Linz's shots are quite inaccurate.
     
    14:37
    Blum tries it with a shot from blueline and hopes that the puck will end in the goal after few deflections. But it's not happening.
     
    13:25
    But Broda lost his stick so it was quite easy job to Bern's defence to send the puck from their zone.
     
    12:37
    And it looks definitely better than Bern's PP. Lot of moves and shots, dangerous situations...
     
    11:50
    And also first PP for team Linz. Dasilva gets two minutes for roughing.
     
    09:35
    Lot of inaccurate passes in the neutral zone. Visualy it's not that nice game.
     
    08:39
    Rob Hisey in a good position in front of Genoni. But in an open position he had lost the puck right before he tried to shot.
     
    08:18
    Another Bern attack stopped with offside.
     
    07:54
    Moser fires from circles but his shot went wide.
     
    07:10
    And still no shot from Bern. Moreover the game continues behind Genoni's net.
     
    06:31
    But Linz is playing really good so far in the PK. Bern has no shot on Ouzas.
     
    05:40
    Altmann (Linz) gets two minutes penalty. First PP for Bern.
     
    05:09
    Alain Berger found really good spot in front of Ouzas and tried to tip the puck in after a long shot from blueline. But Ouzas stays solid.
     
    03:58
    Still only two shots on both sides. Moreover it wasn's even a hard work for Genoni or Ouzas.
     
    03:10
    But no serious action or attemp so far in the first period. The game is quite calm and slow.
     
    02:30
    After couple of easy moves by Bern players also Ouzas has his first save.
     
    01:10
    Ant only with the puck, after couple of moves, Genoni was forced to make first saves.
     
    00:40
    But no after one bad Bern's pass Linz is already with the puck.
     
    00:20
    Linz under pressure.
     
    00:01
