Blood and sweat for the Nürnberg Ice Tigers – Sport

No offside, no icing: The 2: 4 of the Ice Tigers in pictures

After that there was long and angry discussion about an offside and an icing. Neither was whistled, which actually had an impact on the result. But it doesn’t help: The Nürnberg Ice Tigers lost 2: 4 to EHC Munich and thus for the eighth time in a row. But the game was good, incomparably better than the performances in Ingolstadt, the photos by Thomas Hahn are even better.

While studying at the University of Anchorage, Trinkberger played or just defended for the Seawolves for four years. “My role as a defensive back was clearly defined.” Bring the slice straight out of your own third. “In addition, we scored few goals as a team.” He explains that he has only collected ten scorer points in 102 college games. Now the Ice Tigers also score few goals, but in his first 15 games as a professional ice hockey player Trinkberger has already prepared four goals – as many as Tom Gilbert, two more than Andrew Bodnarchuk (and a total of twice as many points as Patrick Reimer). Which describes a problem with the Ice Tigers.

Who is the old hand?

“That is the risk that we have with many of our leading players,” explains head coach Frank Fischöder. “You try a lot. You want to fill the role. You want to help the boys too, and then things happen.” Puck losses, positional errors, bad passes. Just things. The calm, strong-running and disc-safe Trinkberger and also the 20-year-old Julius Karrer often seem like old hands – next to the real old hands. Trinkberger doesn’t want to see it that way. “We play good or bad as a team. And currently we’re playing badly. Eight points from 15 games are not okay. That is out of the question.”

Ice Tigers are back outnumbered

He therefore wants to continue working, give everything every day, “then at the end of the day we have nothing to reproach ourselves with”, get better, preferably as early as late Friday evening (8.30 p.m. /MagentaSport) when the Straubing Ice Tigers are guests in the empty Nürnberger Versicherung arena – and continue to learn from its prominent fellow men. Gilbert and Bodnarchuk both played in the NHL, the 38-year-old Gilbert was one of the best offensive defenders in the best league in the world for years, Bodnarchuk trains with Sidney Crosby and Nathan McKinnon every summer. “I can only benefit from such players by asking them how they would solve certain situations, over and over again.”
And then he talks about his operation in great detail. However, readers should be spared some text exits.
