Thomas Koch analyzes the upcoming semi-final of the KAC for the "Krone". And explains how they can make it to the final series. . . 

A real surprise! Very few people expected that the KAC would have to face Pustertal in the semi-finals tomorrow. As eighth in the basic round, they kept their cool against second-placed Fehervar. That must be a warning shot for the KAC not to underestimate the South Tyroleans - especially at home, where they have won all five games since the end of the regular season. They have carried the flow from the pre-play-offs against Ljubljana! But ten games in a row without a break is also a big burden. That could certainly benefit the KAC in a longer semi-final series.
