Adler Mannheim – Eisbären Berlin 1: 4
The Eisbären Berlin win the duel of the front runners and put a big exclamation mark. The decisive factor was a double strike in the 10th minute. Berlin’s Matthew White scored 2 goals. About the game he said: “Whenever you play against Mannheim, you need your best game. It was a very physical game … It’s easy to say that it was a statement, but we expect something like that in every game in the playoffs. It doesn’t matter whether we are Play against a team from the north or from the south. We now have 3 games against big teams. Mannheim, Augsburg and Nuremberg. These are big, physical teams and we will have to play playoff hockey before the playoffs take place . ”
For Mannheim, the defeat has no effect on the table. Captain Benjamin Smith struggled with the attitude of his team: “We played a little too softly, didn’t play our best, weren’t physical enough … We have to come together again now, find a way to play more emotionally. There is no panic. We are still a good team and we know that too. We just have to be better. ”
2 goals conceded in 42 seconds. Mannheim’s Thomas Larkin was served after a 2-0 draw in the first third break: “It wasn’t good enough. We have to skate better. We haven’t been running that much at the moment. That has to be better.”
Berlin’s Fabian Dietz to a 3-0 lead after the first third: “We are doing almost everything right. The little things count today and we are mostly in the process of implementing them well. That is the decisive factor today.”
Berlin coach Serge Aubin before the game: “Yesterday we played a pretty good game for most of the time. We only had a short time in the second period when we weren’t really there. The key at the moment is that you, no matter who, have to play the full 60 minutes. If we do that, we’ll be very hard to beat. ”
Mannheim’s Mark Katic before the game: “Hockey is a fun game. Anything can happen. Today there are two strong teams here and both want to win. It will be exciting and a good game.”
Straubing Tigers – Kölner Haie 3: 5
The Kölner Haie win a game with many goals at the Straubing Tigers. After a 4-0 lead in the meantime, Cologne had to shake a little again in the last third. With the win, the Haie still have every chance of the playoffs. Goalie Justin Pogge, why it was still a close one in the end: “Straubing fought for his life … Our team stuck together and we needed the points. Good for us … We played simply. In our situation you also have to fight for your life. We did a good job today and fought for victory. ”
Despite the defeat, the Straubing Tigers remain in 4th place in the south group of the PENNY DEL. Sandro Schönberger on the reasons for the bankruptcy: “In the 5v5 we were maybe even a bit better today. But we clearly lost the game in the” special times “. We got two goals outnumbered and one outnumbered ourselves. You won’t win any games. Still, compliments the boys. We came back after a 4-0 draw. If we hadn’t got the 5th goal, we might have turned the game around. ”
Cologne’s James Sheppard after a 3-0 lead in the second period: “As long as we do our job and our work, it will go well … We have to play the last 20 minutes completely.”
Saturday’s games
Schwenninger Wild Wings – Eisbären Berlin 4: 2
Ice-cold Wild Wings defeat the front-runner in the northern group and remain fully in the playoff race with 5th place. Despite the victory, Christopher Fischer was self-critical: “I think we didn’t play our best game again today. We were undisciplined and took a lot of penalties. We played partly without concentration, erratically in our thirds. But we have Joacim Eriksson back in goal. He helps us a lot back there in and that also gave us a bit of confidence. ”
Berlin’s captain Frank Hördler on the reasons for the defeat: “In fact, I would say 5 minutes in the second third, where we let off the gas a bit and then received a tough penalty. Otherwise, I think the rest of it was a great game by both teams.”
ERC Ingolstadt – Kölner Haie 3: 2 nP
ERC Ingolstadt beats the Kölner Haie in the penalty shootout and is almost certain to be third in the playoffs. Louis-Marc Aubry said after the game: “It was a tough battle. Last week they demanded everything up to overtime. Today both teams fought to the end and we are happy that we won the shootout . ”
Cologne’s Dominik Tiffels: “You don’t have to say much. We just can’t manage to score goals in overtime or 4 on 3. You shouldn’t be surprised if it doesn’t work out in the end.”
