Why did Fribourg-Gottéron lose often before they did change the coach and lost always with the new coach?
Why was Chris Mc Sorley, headcoach and Mr. Everything in Geneva – besides Davos' Arno Del Curto the most respected coach in the Swiss league – not able to win the series vs Zug?
Why did the fired “no name-coach” Colin Muller had approx. the same results with the ZSC-Lions as the Olympic- and World-Champion coach Sven-Ake Gustafsson did have with the same Zurich team?
Why does Biel
Why did the Langnau Tigers did make the playoffs?
Why did the same Langnau Tigers lose 13 out of the last 15 season-games with exactly the same staff on and off the ice?
Why do the ZSC Lions invest year by year a lot of money in their highly appreciated junior-program and win dozens of junior-championship-titels…but didn’t produce yet just one single high-end-player (NHL-player, Swiss-National-Team core-player or ZSC-Lions first or second-line-player)?
Why do we have usually fast and clear answers to all these questions and why these answers walk most often on very thin ice when analysing it in a self-critical-way?

ReplyDeletesehen wir es akademisch: Eishockey ist und bleibt eine unlogische Wissenschaft, in welcher der Faktor Mensch (glücklicherweise) eine übergeordnete Rolle spielt...
good questions Thomas, from my point of view I would say that regarding the series between Lakers and Lugano, maybe the Lakers players were too sure after their 5 wins (1 friendly) and after the first 2 games they were not able to find the way back.
ReplyDeleteFor Gotteron the problem was obviously not the coach but the chemistry in the team.
Gustafsson vs Muller, maybe the same problem not coach but the team.
Mc Sorley sent the wrong msg with the transfer Deruns to Berne, and all the rumours followed, and the team had a few players too much out, but the team playe with a lot of passion and heart.
Biel vs Ambri, Biel is more physical and Ambri without Westrum and Kutlak is a low scoring team.
SCL Tigers, first of all Fust made an'excellent Job, I never saw a tigers team play such physical and intensiv as this year, after they reached the playoffs I think batteries were low, mentally and physically.
GCK Lions - ZSC, I can hardly understand, they produced good keepers, Berra-Genoni, good players like Trachsler, Bieber and other I forget now, maybe the problem is they never had a chance to play for the Lions and had to go elswhere?
