When visiting from Bad Tölz, the Frankfurters want it better this time than in January. In the end, however, the same thing happens again, to the chagrin of the local lions
Frankfurt – The Frankfurt Lions would certainly have liked to save themselves a repetition of this film, which was so wrong for them, but in the end it turned out exactly the same. Even with the same result: Against the namesake of the Tölzern Löwen, the second division ice hockey team lost 1: 4 (0: 0, 1: 1, 0: 3) on Monday evening – as at the end of January, according to the familiar pattern. “Exactly the same thing happened. We didn’t learn anything from it,” said striker Christian Kretschmann. “We have to be smarter”.
In the DEL 2 ranking, the Frankfurters are still in fifth place, now six points behind Bad Tölz – but still with two games less because of their forced Corona break. For now, you missed the opportunity to make the connection, but you were well on your way well into the second third.
“We had a good chance, but we didn’t make it,” said Kretschmann. “And then suddenly it’s 1: 4.” Against injured guests who could only put five defenders and seven strikers on the bus – less than even their coach Kevin Gaudet, who is known for his weakness for small but fine squads, was dear. The local lions, on the other hand, seemed well advised not to underestimate the sparse group of visitors: with compact defense and dangerous counterattacks by their super scorer around the former Frankfurt Marco Pfleger, they had already surprised them last time.
The Lions started better this time too, initially allowing few counterattacks, they also scored through Luis Schinko (23rd). But they failed repeatedly because of the strong Tölz goalie Maximilian Franzreb – and finally had surprisingly little to oppose, as first Max French (36th) and towards the end two times Tyler MacNeely (50th, 54th) and Pfleger (55th) with their then but resounding deja vu counterattacks again turned the game to their disadvantage. mka
