His cry of rage would undoubtedly have resounded in the Malley ice rink if the Lausanne fans had not properly celebrated the victory of their Lions (2-0) at the moment of the final siren. Kevin Pasche held his own in front of his net during the hard-fought final minutes, against the Zurich side playing 6 against 4.
“In Bern before the international break (7-2 defeat) and Tuesday against Geneva (5-0 defeat) I did not find myself up to the task. I really wanted to respond this evening and the team helped me a lot. I finally found myself up to the task and that feels good,” said the young 21-year-old goalkeeper, who is experiencing his first season as number 1 goalkeeper in the National League, in the mixed zone.
Reference match
“It’s the benchmark match we needed to start again after the break. Plus against Zurich, it was perfect. Now it’s about showing more consistency,” continued Kevin Pasche.
The LHC goalkeeper did not fail to praise the work of his defense during an intense end of the match which undoubtedly reminded some spectators of the last play-off final, lost in seven matches against the same Zurich. “+Glausi+ (editor: Andrea Glauser) saved me two goals this evening, I saved others for some. We had good chemistry, but we know that we won’t have it every night. He We have to work on that,” explained the Lausanne goalkeeper, who keeps the goal set by his coach Geoff Ward in his sights.
“A beautiful show”
“The period until December is going to be intense and important. We really want to stay in the top 5, even in the top 3,” he announced. With only one point ahead of Zurich (which has played two matches less) and two ahead of Davos, Kevin Pasche is aware that this first place does not have the greatest value.
“This leadership status is gratifying, but we know that a defeat on Friday in Zug could drop us two or three places,” he recalled. “It’s very close this year and it’s great for the fans. It’s a lot more pressure for us too, but it produces a great show.” Difficult to contradict him.
