Greg Poss is dissatisfied – what is not necessarily clear when looking at the development of the team under his management, makes much more sense when looking at the recent performances of his protégés: “I expect more from my team. The performance in Schwenningen it definitely doesn’t meet our standards: it’s always the little things that make the opponent buy nerves when we lose games”, Poss puts his finger in the wound.
He himself was unable to make the trip to the Black Forest due to illness, but that shouldn’t be an excuse. “Obviously, with our fans behind us, it’s a little easier to perform how we want to. Of course we need to work on this in view of the next away games, first of all we are very happy to be able to play the next two games at home again” , Poss promises a changed aspect of his team.
He too is still a bit battered, but will not let himself be denied another game behind the rink: “At the latest when the puck falls for the first time, I feel great,” says Poss with a wink. He will not be able to fall back on Chris Bigras, who will only arrive in Iserlohn around noon. In addition, Kris Foucault is still injured – it is not yet possible to reliably predict when the Canadian will return to the ice.
The Roosters head coach will also have to do without Yannick Proske and Nils Elten, who traveled all the way to the U-20 national team. However, Elten remained with cooperation partner in Herne, Sebastian Streu will take Proske’s place in the squad against the his former employer. “One of our two goalkeepers plays in goal”, Poss does not let himself be seen when it comes to the position between the posts.
