With a crazy comeback, Austria really annoyed gold candidate Canada at the Ice Hockey World Cup, but in the end it wasn’t enough for the outsider to win.
The team from the Alpine republic was 1:6 behind before the final third in Prague, then things went fast. Benjamin Baumgartner (44th), Peter Schneider (45th/56th), Dominic Zwerger (51st) and Marco Rossi (60th) made it 6:6 and forced extra time. After just 15 seconds in overtime, John Tavares shot defending champion Canada to victory.
“This will be a lesson for us,” said Tavares after the NHL Cracks’ 7:6 (3:1, 3:0, 0:5, 1:0) win. The Austrians wavered between pride and disappointment. “We picked up momentum in the third period, were on it as a team and the pucks came in. I’m really happy for the boys, I’m really proud,” said double goal scorer Schneider: “It’s a shame that we couldn’t win the game. “
Canada dropped the first point in Group A, but remains unbeaten in the lead after three games ahead of Switzerland (both 8) and Finland (7). After winning points, Austria (1) is second to last ahead of Great Britain (0).
