Genève-Servette has not won at Les Vernets since October 18. It was against Rapperswil, a 5-3 victory on the return of a long eight-game road series to open the season.
Since then, the Eagles have no longer been able to reach home. On their ice rink and in front of their audience. The Vernets are no longer a fortress and in fact no longer scare anyone.

Saturday against Bern, the players of coach Jan Cadieux lost for the sixth time in a row on their ice rink, series in progress. Monday, Ambri (11e27 points) will be visiting Geneva. Should we fear a seventh snub in a row?
Winning at home should be the mark of great teams, or at least good teams. Recently, the Eagles have lost their bearings in Les Vernets. Impossible to move up the rankings by losing so many units at home.
The Garnet are penultimate (13es), just in front of HC Ajoie, but behind Langnau and Ambri, in particular. The good excuse of late matches is soon no longer valid: the Eagles only have one match less than the Emmentalois and two less than the Leventins.
Granlund as savior Friday
Against Berne on Saturday, the Eagles did not get off to a very good start (led 0-1 from the 22e minute) and especially ended their evening badly (winning goal from defender Ramon Untersander one hundred and thirty-three seconds from the final siren (58e2-3). The two Geneva successes, scored as often by the Finns (Teemu Hartikainen in power-play at 33ethen Sakari Manninen at even strength, 52e), will once again have been insufficient.
The day before, in Langnau, the Garnets had come close to being sent to prison. But an equalizer from Markus Granlund forty seconds from the bell, then a winning goal from the same player after sixteen seconds in overtime, allowed them to avoid a snub (4-5 victory after).
Two matches played between Friday and Saturday – with Robert Mayer in front of the nets in Langnau, with Antti Raanta against Bern –, only two points on the clock: the results are very poor for this GSHC which continues to grope its way forward in the championship and which will have soon exhausted his last jokers.
This Monday, the Eagles host Ambri (7:45 p.m.) before continuing with seven other games – including the first leg of the CHL quarter-final against the Germans from Bremerhaven on December 3 – until the international break in mid-December . Suffice to say that it is probably during the next two weeks that the GSHC will play a large part of its season.
