SC Bern has not had the best start to their season. Despite that, the position of head coach Kari Jalonen would not be up for debate, Marc Lüthi tells Tamedia's Reto Kirchhofer.

Confronted about the team not being able to deal with the current crisis, the CEO states that they are not used to suffering anymore. He does not understand why that would be the case though. The quality of the team would still be enough for the top four. "The players have to finally put aside this shit and do what they love: playing ice-hockey", the CEO says. Shit in his context would be insecurity and a lack of confidence.

On the topic of goalies, Lüthi mentions that both Niklas Schlegel and Pascal Caminada played solidly, but let themselves be dragged down by the team. One of the reasons he decided to bring in a new one is to give the team the best possible support.
