The Eagles of Nice fell for the second time this season at Jean Bouin, against the Boxers of Bordeaux, with a score of 5-3. The
Eagles drop to 4th place in the French D1 championship.
The Eagles absolutely had to win in order to best prepare for the away game this weekend against the leader, Lyon. It’s missed!
And yet, Stan Sutor’s men gave it their all, but as it has been since the beginning of the season, luck was not on their side….
The Boxers of Bordeaux believed in victory until the end, and they thoroughly deserved the 2 points on Saturday night at Jean Bouin.
The Azuréens lacked inspiration, as exemplified by a double
power play in the 2nd period, for over a minute, without scoring a goal….
It is true that at the moment, the Eagles are not spared by injuries (Karri Koivu: knee sprain, Janne Kumpulainen: ill, Jozef Slaninak: broken finger, Stefan Majernik: still injured in the knee).
The team from Nice must absolutely pull themselves together next Saturday against the leader, Lyon, in order to stay at the top of the standings.
