Cherno Charges On for Win

@Zavodszky

In case you missed it here is the recap of the Hungary-Romania  icehockey match from last friday. The story can also be found on the English part of icehockey.hu
The national team wins match for new coach.
In what turned out to be a relatively easy win, Hungary put a beating on their neighbors to the east with a 7-0 win over Romania. Hungary took the early lead 1:36 into the first on a goal by András Benk with István Bartalis assisting on the goal. The Huns doubled their lead with Bartalis scoring one for himself from a pass by the 3rd member of their line, Ladislav Sikorcin. The so called “third line” would go on to score 5 out of the 7 goals. With five minutes left in the first period István Sofron received 2 minutes for checking to the head/neck and a misconduct that goes with it. Tamás Pozsgai got 2 minutes for cross checking, luckily the boys managed to kill the penalties.
The second period started off much like the first with the “third” line scoring at 2:33 into the period. Benk put the puck in the back of the net with the help of both Bartalis and Sikorcin. For the rest of the period neither of the red lights lit up behind either goal, however the Hungarians kept up their visits to the penalty box. Bence Szirányi for slashing, Benk for cross checking, and Dániel Kiss for tripping all received two minutes each with Botond Flinta joining in on the fun from the Romanian side for tripping as well.
The third period was the exact opposite of the first except that the Bartalis, Sikorcin, Benk line continued the production; the third period had four Hungarian goals with zero penalty minutes. Bartalis had his second of the game assisted by Viktor Tokaji and Sikorcin to make it 4-0. This was followed less then two minutes later by a János Vas (a: János Hári, Kiss) goal. Balázs Ladányi set up Sofron for the sixth and Benk completing the hat trick to set up the final score on an assist by Bartalis who led all scorers with five points. Miklós Rajna kept the net clean for the shutout.
