Completely out of the question 1: 6 in Düsseldorf | Iserlohn Roosters

Because the post-match statistics say something different – the Iserlohn Roosters lost 1:6 in the six-point game at Düsseldorfer EG after a completely sleepy start and are now at the bottom of the table in the PENNY DEL.

Feature film: Düsseldorf take an early 2-0 lead as the Roosters make too many mistakes in the early stages. The Roosters tried to get back into the game, but the hosts scored another goal before the break. In the second third, the Sauerlanders created many chances, but they did not score, so the score remained 0-3. Early in the final period, the IEC made it 1:3 through Boland, but he failed to follow through. Düsseldorf, on the other hand, is ice cold in the end and gets the decisive 1:4 through Blank. Postma the empty goal and then Rossmy against disappointed guests increased the result to 1:6.

The Roosters had a good chance to take the lead through Branden Troock after just under half a minute, but the Düsseldorf defender troubled team #71 in the last minute. Soon after, the Sauerlanders had to go into the penalty kill for the first time. Here the DEG succeeded quickly and in a strange way thanks to Pivonka, who converted a rebound from the air (2:29). Shedden’s team was still settling when the bell rang for the second time in Jenike’s goal: Wirth slid a one-timer on the blue line, the puck landed on McCrea, who stood alone, who did not give Jenike a chance from the field close and went for it 0:2 (4:20). Iserlohn now seemed completely out of control and we could thank goalkeeper Jenike that there were no further Düsseldorf goals at this time. Just before the power break the Roosters sent another sign of offensive life through Cornwall, but his shot was no problem for Haukeland in the DEG goal. Benefiting from a penalty against Düsseldorf, Postma had to go off for a stick, the Sauerlanders were now able to build pressure for the first time that evening. Jentzsch had two chances to score from close range, but Haukeland was denied each time (9′). Minutes later, the Rhinelander goalkeeper was beaten, but Cornel’s shot went down on the goal line (10th). After that the home team were back on the trigger and were able to increase their lead to 3-0. Jenike had no chance again when Blank scored with a direct shot from a tight angle (16:37). It was also thanks to goalkeeper Jenike that no further Düsseldorf goals were scored until the first break. The 0-3 deficit at the first break was perhaps one goal too high, but Düsseldorf’s lead was deserved.

In the second third, the Roosters tried to find a way back into the game and had a few chances against Düsseldorf’s passive players, but neither Troock, Osburn nor Cornel could get past the confident Haukeland. In the 33rd minute, Jenike had to use all his skills during a break in Düsseldorf to stop Richard’s solo. Right before, the Roosters had another good chance, but Cornel’s shot bounced off the inside post and the puck went down the goal line again. The guests were now pressing more and more towards the 1:3, but Haukeland couldn’t beat it. As the pressure mounted, the danger of Düsseldorf’s counter-attacks grew and Jenike had to do everything she could several times to prevent another DEG blow. Angle had Düsseldorf’s best chance seconds before the break, but Jenike was able to direct the shot onto the post. Inadequate finishing on both sides and a strong goalkeeping performance ensured it was still 0:3 for DEG after the second third, but with more careful finishing the Roosters would have scored at least one goal.

Early in the last period, the Sauerlanders could finally reward themselves for their offensive efforts: Troock called on Tyler Boland and did not give Haukeland a chance – 1:3 (42:13). As a result, the Roosters tried to keep the pressure up and kept scoring. But only a few of these options were really strong and when things got dangerous, Henrik Haukeland was still there. Düsseldorf continued to act very passively and rely on individual side effects, which were always dangerous. An example of this was the 44th minute, when Jenike had to smother another Richards break. When it seemed only a short time before another goal was scored for the blue-whites, it was one of those attacks that led to a decisive 1:4: McCrea passed it to Blank, who got his score (50:46). . The Roosters continued to try hard, but it looked like the Iserlohners were now out of the game for good. Postma then took advantage of the fact that Shedden had taken out his keeper for a field player (58:11) and Rossmy was even allowed to increase the score to 1:6 unchallenged and undisturbed.
