Quotes from yesterday’s games in the PENNY DEL – at MagentaSport
Krefeld Pinguine – Düsseldorfer EG 3: 6 – First third missed!
The Krefeld Penguins remain without points even after their 4th game of the season. Alexander Blank was served: “We just wanted to show the fans that we were fighting. We actually played the second period well. But if you missed the first period like that, it’s hard to come back.” On the “missed” first third: “Actually we had planned a lot. But if we conceded a goal twice when we were outnumbered.”
Düsseldorf’s Alexander Ehl about the moment when he scored his first DEL goal: “I had to shiver because the referees had just watched it. But I’m brutally happy! About the game:” We had resolved to put a lot of pressure on in the last third do. We made good use of the opportunities. That worked out well. ”
Düsseldorf’s Daniel Fischbuch was dissatisfied with the 2nd third. It was “only” 3: 1 for DEG: “We run too little, invest too little. Leave Krefeld far too much to play.” His slogan for the last third: “Strengthen your defensive. Just play and out!”
Krefeld’s Laurin Braun after a weak first third, which DEG used to lead 3-0: “No, everything that was discussed didn’t go that way. We throw away the window unnecessarily, we get nervous. Knock it off, always wherever the enemy is standing. That has to change!
Nürnberg Ice Tigers – Schwenninger Wild Wings 1: 2 (OT) – “Will surprise many more”
Nuremberg’s Niklas Treutes Record, he didn’t really want to be happy about the first point after regular time: “The anger that we lost prevails. If you look at the last game, it was definitely an improvement. Much of what we did we did it right. It’s never easy to go into overtime when we are outnumbered. A bit of bad luck and then unfortunately we lose the game … It was clear that it would be a close game. We have brought a lot to the gate – maybe not necessarily enough.
Schwennnings Andreas Thuresson, Schütze on the winning goal: “We had to work hard for 60 minutes. Had some weaker phases, Nuremberg used them to equalize. We found a way to still win, that’s all that counts.” On the “record” of 3 away wins: “We have a really good team. Stick to our schedule. I think we can do well this season and surprise many.”
