Tornado Luxembourg vs Lions Compiègne. 2 - 8

Tornado Luxembourg vs Lions Compiègne

<p><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">The first 2 steps of this beginning of January were too high for our Tornado and the score of the 2 games against Chalons (January 7th) and Dijon (January 14th) are without any contest. The blues lost 7-2 against Chalons, 3rd in the championship, and then 8-1 against Dijon, solid leader, a week later. Both of these teams are well above the Tornado this season and their respective places in the standings are well deserved.</span></p><div> </div><p><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">However, on closer inspection, if these scores are similar, the content is not at all the same. Deprived of his two centres, Antoine Thomas and Colm Cannon, in Châlons, Christer Eriksson had to be very imaginative to compose two first lines up to the challenge. After the Christmas break, the boys were never able to exist against the 3rd place of the championship even if they had valiantly resisted in the 1st third before sinking.</span></p><div> </div><p><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">Against Dijon, the performance was not at all the same. This time, it was rather the discipline that played tricks on the Tornado. First of all, 18 minutes into the first period, when the score was 0-0, Antoine Thomas (1) was given a major penalty (5 minutes) and an automatic misconduct penalty for the game (20 minutes). Dijon took advantage of this to open the score and went back to the locker room on the smallest of leads before piling up 3 goals in 30 seconds at the beginning of the second period. Colm Cannon gave them some hope before the end of the second period (4-1). In the last period, Burgundy took advantage of every power play to punish the Tornado, bringing the score to 8-1. The boys finished on the kneecaps without having much to reproach themselves for in terms of involvement.</span></p><div> </div><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" xml:lang="en-gb">This Saturday, the Tornado meet Compiègne, 5th of the group C with only 3 points ahead of our Luxemburgish team.

The turning point of the season

<div>
<div>The year 2023 starts with a bang for our Tornado's with two 1st-category passes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The first challenge was last Saturday with a trip to Chalons. The Gaulois were in a solid 3rd place in Group C of this D3 but our boys were hoping for an achievement after a short 7-6 defeat in this same rink on November 26th. Would the Chalonnais approach this D3 match in the same frame of mind, when in November it was only a Patrick Muller Trophy match, a friendly competition created to compensate for the lack of championship matches in Group C this season? The answer was stinging. Without Colm Cannon and Antoine Thomas, Christer Eriksson had to deal with new lines, and our Tornado's really didn't see the light of day in a crowded and overexcited arena. The final score was 7-2 (1-0, 3-1, 3-1).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The second challenge comes this Saturday and again on the road. This time, the opponent will be Dijon and this time it is the leader of Group C. Another big game. On the other hand, the coach will be able to count on a complete squad if the little injuries of last weekend are forgotten. There is no doubt that our boys will be able to show some self respect and to bend their chests again to face these Dukes. The Burgundians may already be dreaming of the Final 4 and could be guilty of a small exces of confidence. There is absolutely nothing to lose against Dijon, which makes this match the ideal setting for a surge of pride. Our Tornado's, on the other hand, must keep in mind that a first round playoff spot is within reach. From a mathematical point of view, the real challenges will be the double confrontation against Compiègne (28 January and 4 February) and the trip to Strasbourg (11 February). The end of the regular season promises to be exciting.</div>
