Mannheim. The Adler Mannheim continue to live up to their role as favorites in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL). After all the games in the southern group of the two-pronged league have been played, things are going well for coach Pavel Gross’ team against the teams from the north. With one exception – against the Pinguins Bremerhaven, the blue-white-reds could neither win in the preparatory tournament for the MagentaSport Cup this season, nor in the two DEL games.

After 15 wins in a row, the Northern Lights ended the Adler’s successful streak with a 5-0. After that, the Mannheimers made a next statement with five successes in a row, but again it was Bremerhaven that took the points at 2-1 on Easter Monday. In the new episode of the Adler podcast, MM sports editor Jan Kotulla talks to his studio guest Philipp Köhl about the reasons for the Adler’s difficulties with the Hanseatic League.

In addition, it is about the high stresses caused by the compressed game plan with matches within 24 hours as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the shortened play-offs, which begin on April 20 with the quarter-finals in the “Best of three” mode.
Jan Kotulla and Philipp Köhl have the greatest respect for the miraculous return of striker Andrew Desjardins. After his hip operation in December, the “grinder”, as Gross calls him, fought his way back into the team. Can he give the eagles additional impulses with his leadership skills? Just listen to the “Adler-Check”. And then there was an overseas success in Mannheim, and the duo is also dedicated to this story.
