The fans: seventh man on the pitch, really leave you speechless (click and watch the final team-people hug HERE). All the videos that we have proposed and that we will continue to offer are enough. The yellow and black people accompanied Devèze’s team from Varese and pushed them throughout the game, truly without limits. Tonight, even away from home, it seemed like we were back in the Cup final four in Merano and, more and more, in the late eighties and mid nineties. When it was scary to be faced with the Varese public, even before Varese
Best: Difficult to find a total team mvp tonight. Countercurrent: let’s say that the Hounds are the mvp in their entirety, it’s useless to elevate someone. The average is too high.
The comment: if you play hockey, no one beats Varese. Today only a small blackout only at 2-0, otherwise a perfect game in terms of approach, timing, management, ability to defend and attack with the right cynicism, making perfect use of the power play. In the game for 60 minutes, it was perhaps the best Varese of the season for continuity, intensity and skate and, when Pergine started playing hard, the Hounds have never succumbed to the temptation to settle scores without ever flaunting superiority, overt, or mockery.
The match: Pergine tried to resist with his sudden blows and barricading themselves around Rigoni, as in the case of the 1-2 goal which seemed to have reopened everything, but then the raging Varese, a perfect machine, exhausted any resistance. Honor to Pergine, truly exemplary in never giving up. But Varese are too strong and, having scored the 3-1 with Piroso, they then spread and now, from Saturday, he will play for the title with Caldaro.
And now a beautiful new video, while the Pergine ultras are embracing the Varese fans in a moment of truly maximum sportsmanship
Here are the Mastiffs banging on the balustrade to “touch” their fantastic audience
THE DOGS RUN UNDER THE BALUSTRADE
HERE’S THE FINAL CRAZY PARTY
LET’S ONLY LET THE PICTURES SPEAK. THOSE ARE ENOUGH
BEAUTIFUL WEATHER: THE FANS OF PERGINE AND THOSE OF VARESE ARE PARTYING

59′ We are among the fans
58′ Two minutes
58′ Rosamunda is sung in 200. The party has begun
55′ Meanwhile Perla strangles the scream of Pergine, in superiority and in siege
55′ Caldaro awaits us in the final at the Acinque Ice Arena next Saturday, victorious 3-1 in Appiano (3-1 in the series)
54′ Six minutes to go
52′ We are among the people of Varese who have been waiting to go to the final for a long, too long time. And now he sings: “He who doesn’t jump is a Bolzano”
48′ Varese in double superiority
47′ Thirteen minutes until the most beautiful finalthe one conquered by all of Varese
44′ “We will always be here when Varese score…”: it’s a party in the stands
41’51” 1-5 THE VERY POKER OF VARESE, THE GOAL OF EDO RAIMONDI WITH A FIERCE DEVIATION ONE STEP AWAY FROM RIGONI. WHEN EDO SCORE IT’S ALWAYS A DIFFERENT GOAL FROM ALL OTHERS. EDO IS A PIECE OF THE MASTINI’S HEART
41′ He recovers and a very cheerful and very kind Pergine fan comes to embrace us: “Are you from Varese? Well done”. Great environment, very sporty and with a large crowd, here in Trentino
Beware of goals: the fourth is from Vanetti who scored from a shot by Desautels and not by Tilaro
STILL TWENTY MINUTES OF BATTLE TO TAKE THE FINAL
40′ End of second period: now the videos of an unparalleled audience after the second half from Varese, unapproachable
39′ One minute left in the second half: the yellow and blacks have been ruthless up to now
37′ “On time on time Varese on time”: to us, almost old chroniclers of small big businesses, this support reminds us of something that comes from the past. Saturday evening, Pergine Valsugana, 200 people from Varese are singing with drums and flags
35’03” 1-4 THE GIALLONERI STRIKE IN SUPERIORITY: DESAUTELS SHOOTS FROM OUTSIDE AND BAGS VANETTI WITH AN ALMOST imperceptible touch, CLOSING AN EXEMPLARY POWER PLAY BY DEVEZE’S TEAM
35′ Continuous penalty now: Varese in 4 against 3 for 1’37” with the show in the stands
33’26” 1-3 AND THE SHOOT, BESIDE THE GOAL, ARRIVES: PIROSO, KILLER AND SUDDEN DIVERSION ON THE PUCK THROWN BY PICCINELLI AND HE’S SAD
33′ As you can see, for now Perla and Rigoni are only tickled by the attackers in this long balance phase. An isolated winning shot is expected
32′ Schina from distance: it does not work
31′ Michael Mazzacane tries: central blow stopped by Rigoni
30′ Perla closes Becker, Rigoni does the same with Piroso
29′ Double venial penalty
28′ Total balance, very few chances
27′ Varese, as in game 3, attentive in defense and ready to restart
26′ Again Perla on Mocellin. Complete Varese
26′ Perla blocks everything with his in 4. It suffers
25′ Perla attentive: Pergine pressing
25′ Penalty for Varese, clear: Erik Mazzacane is out for a baton charge. Right
25′ Five minutes without chances
24′ Balanced phase, like in match 3 in Varese
23′ The Trentino people are pressing
21′ It starts again, Perla is under the support of the Varese fanson the right side of the track dominated by the single large grandstand
It begins again after the double Tilaro and the usual goal taken in defensive indecision
It will start again soon. But before here is the yellow and black wall
First interval: Varese conceded a goal without almost realizing it which keeps Pergine alive more than ever in the game after a delirious brace from Tilaro
19′ Franchini, nooo: with 3 seconds to go in front of goal he pulls on Rigoni’s pincer
19′ Last minute with penalty: at 51 seconds two minutes for each side
17′ Pergine lethal in one of the rare actions of the first half, Varese much more insidious. But when it seems done, the Trentino people come back and are always there
15′ Tilaro one step away from the hat-trick. In the last two minutes, everything happened, even when Pergine scored one of his impossible goals with two passes
13’52” 1-2 INCREDIBLE GOAL PERGINE GOOD WITH THE NEW FOREIGN, BUT THE CREDITS ARE ALL OF THE SPEED ACTION OF SANVIDO AND MOCELLIN AND A POORLY POSITIONED DEFENSE
13’41” 0-2 THE DOUBLING OF VARESE CARRIED AWAY BY A KRONENBOURG CHEER: TILARO DOES IT ALL, ONCE AGAIN. The yellow and black number 15 beats the blue with a personal effort and kills Rigoni
12′ It takes place in the deafening din of the Varese fans
10′ The crowd claims for a foul on Franchinithen Rigoni saves Pergine three times in a row, twice on Drolet
9′ Varese very careful in defense
8′ Very balanced match, Tilaro’s torpedo aside
8′ “Yellow olè”: it seems to be in via Albani, but we are more than three hours from Varese
7′ Complete Varese
6′ Block Pearl: Pergine still not very dangerous even with the extra man
5′ Immediately naive penalty for Piroso: obstruction
4’53” 0-1 THE GOAL FROM VARESEEEEEEE: TILARO DOES IT ALL BY HIMSELF AND PUT IN (BUT THERE’S A TOUCH OF A DEFENDER ON THE REBOUND) DRIVING THE TWO HUNDRED VARESINI CRAZY
3′ Very open start of the race in an incredible climate: Michael Mazzacane just went shooting. Rigoni stopped the puck
1′ Departed in the midst of the deafening cheering of the people of Varese
Enter the Hounds: typhoid from the old days.
Ecco i video of creepy yellow and black cheer.
Due children with the red and white flags of Pergine and yellow and black of Varese are waiting for the players on the ice, skating very fast.
We go live together with the two hundred fans who arrived from the Garden City who are supporting the yellow and blacks with drums and flags even before the start in a truly incredible climate.
In the middle of bedlam of the two hundred people from Varese who arrived in Pergine, we will tell you about match 4 of the semifinal between the Trentino and Varese teams live: if the hosts win, the big fight will be played on Tuesday at the Acinque Ice Arena to qualify the finalist, if the Mastiffs win already tonight they would access the last series that will award the title. Game 4 is also being played between Caldaro, ahead 2-1 in the series, and Appiano.
In Varese Bertin is still missing in defense but Fanelli is there (not Garber) and also Raimondi in attack. Pergine lines up the new foreigner Christian Buono, a 22-year-old Canadian striker, given that Foltin has been Italian since this match.
