Eisbären Berlin actually had their sights set on a fourth win in the fifth game in the Hockey Champions League, but things turned out completely differently for the Swiss representative HC Fribourg-Gotteron, who lost the last three games in the national league. For Berlin the game was over before it started.
Double early and after half an hour his third goal: Jan Dorthe at Fribourg.

It was a practice evening at the Eisbären Berlin in Switzerland. At the currently stagnant HC Fribourg-Gotteron, who have lost only one of their last eight games and recently left the ice as the losers of three times in a row, fell German champions under the wheels 3:9.
After just ten minutes, the Swiss first division team led 2-0 thanks to a double strike from Jan Dorthe, and Ty Ronning made it 1-3 in the 21st minute. But anyone who hoped to start an electronic progression to the middle third was disappointed. In fact, the Eisbären conceded five more goals between the 22nd and 31st minutes, including Dorthe scoring his third goal and Christoph Bertschy scoring twice.
It was a reality check.
Serge Aubin took goalkeeper Jonas Stettmer off the ice after the eighth goal and helped Linus Vieillard make his professional debut. And the 18-year-old had to get behind only once in the remaining 29 minutes, while the Berliners made little cosmetic gains with a brace from Blaine Byron.
“It was a difficult evening for us,” explained Serge Aubin after the historic CHL loss. “It was a reality check.” The coach also mentioned “several injured players” and added, “We ran out of steam. We couldn’t put enough pressure on our opponent. This was also because he “changed the system a bit”.
Final replay on Friday night
In the end, Aubin does not want to look in the rearview mirror, but “look forward.” And there the new edition of the DEL finals awaits. The champions host the second place Fischtown Penguins on Friday night (7:30pm).
