Hannover Scorpions record surprising home bankruptcy
Reading time: approx. 6 minutes
Both can hardly hope for the top, Halle is too confident. Leipzig is also firmly in fourth place, while the Indians defied the high physical strain, also won in Hamm and are now almost 0.1 points ahead of Herne and Hamburg. Herne is still 0.009 points ahead of Hamburg, but has also played three games more. Reaching sixth place will be difficult for the people of Ruhrstadt. Positions nine and ten are just as exciting. Rostock lost, but so did the competition from Essen and Herford and the last credits had exactly one point on the credit account. There was also a change at the bottom of the table. Krefeld, who have recently become stronger, were able to overtake Diez-Limburg and are now in twelfth place.
Black Dragons Erfurt – Saale Bulls Halle 1: 4 (1: 1, 0: 2, 0: 1)
Even without goalscorer Joonas Niemelä, the Bulls remain on their winning ways. Head coach Ryan Foster, who has just been given a contract extension by the club, relies on consistent defensive work that quickly makes it impossible to get through. And if it works, there are two good goalkeepers between the posts in Sebastian Albrecht and Eric Steffen. Albrecht also showed an excellent game today, only letting himself be overheard once when Arnoldas Bosas was twice the man down. if he caught everything, he had a catch rate of 96.3 percent. The best players in Halle were Pascal Grosse with three points, as well as Lukas Valasek, Maurice Becker and Tatu Vihavainen with two points each. Erfurt could only counter Halle with their fighting power, but in the end had no real chance of victory.
Goals: 0:1 (02:37) Tatu Vihavainen (Valasek, Grosse), 1:1 (19:25) Arnoldas Bosas (Fischer, Beach 5-3), 1:2 (35:31) Patrick Grosse (Becker, Gollenbek), 1: 3 (37:01) Tim May (Vihavainen, Valasek 5: 4), 1: 4 (53:45) Maurice Becker (Striepeke, Grosse)
Hanover Scorpions – Hamburg Crocodiles 2: 5 (1: 1, 0: 3, 1: 1)
This defeat was, at least from Scorpion’s point of view, as unnecessary as a goiter. In one game, the guests convinced with an outstanding power play, while the Scorpions got nothing on the chain in this discipline. 50 percent success rate for the crocodiles, zero for the hosts. In addition, a few seconds before the end of Brad Ross, he had an argument with Sam Verelst, which earned him a five plus game time and thus blocked a game. A circumstance that did not exactly cause enthusiasm for coach Tobias Stolikowski. While no player in the Scorpions stood out particularly positively, Harrison Reed showed his strength with three points in Hamburg. In terms of goalkeepers, too, Kai Kristian was the clear winner with 95 percent against Brett Jaeger (87.5 percent).
Goals: 1-0 (07:04) Mike Hammond (Ross, Gron), 1-1 (15:05) Harrison Reed (Martens, Reimer 5-4), 1-2 (27:09) Adam Domogalla (Schaludek, Verelst), 1: 3 (33:39) Dennis Reimer (Reed, Zuravlev 5: 3), 1: 4 (37:13) Thomas Zuravlev (Reed, Martens), 2: 4 (45:55) Robin Just (Raabe , Airich), 2:5 (48:27) Maximilian Schaludek (Gauch, Verelst)
Mosquitoes Essen – Icefighters Leipzig 1: 4 (0: 1, 0: 2, 1: 1)
A deserved success for the Icefighters, who were clearly the better team for more than two-thirds and only allowed the Essen team to score the consolation goal when they themselves were four goals ahead. The hosts’ best player was also the goalscorer, because Mitch Bruijsten shot ten times at the goal defended by Leipzig’s Eric Hoffmann, more than twice as often as his team-mates. In Leipzig, the players in the third and fourth attacking formations were particularly convincing, collecting seven points.
Goals: 0:1 (19:19) Robin Slanina (Acorn), 0:2 (29:44) Connor Hannon (Stopinski, Farrell 5:4), 0:3 (36:24) Felix Stopinski (Hon), 0 : 4 (44:49) Sebastian Hon (Wolter, Eichelkraut), 1: 4 (47:36) Mitch Bruijsten (Hein, air)
Tilburg Trappers – EG Diez-Limburg 6: 1 (1: 0, 1: 1, 4: 0)
Anyone who had expected Limburg to surrender without a fight in Tilburg was disappointed after the encounter. It was a make or break battle, which Tilburg led in a superior manner, but the closer the Dutch died to the opposing goal, the narrower and more difficult it became. The goal shot ratio is 47:7 and yet victory was only certain after 48 minutes. The Limburgers held two-thirds a 1-2 draw, then the trappers scored three goals within just seven minutes and in the middle of this phase what had been quite a fair encounter escalated. First, Tilburg’s Danny Stempher and Limburg’s Paul König fought a fight that was only punished with five minutes for both. That was the wake-up call for Brett Bulmer and Wouter Sars on the Tilburg side and Nikonor Dobryskin and David Lademann on the Limburg side to brawl as well. Referee Ramon Sterkens was forced to award all four with a five plus playing time, which ultimately meant 67:67 penalty minutes or 134 added and at the same time was the highest value since December 2019, when Leipzig and the Indians climbed to 182 penalty minutes .
Goals: 1:0 (04:47) Ties van Soest (van der Schuit, Jacobs), 2:0 (24:14) Brett Bulmer (van der Schuit, Hermens 5:4), 2:1 (39:25) Jordan King (Drover, Krymskiy), 4: 1 (46:41) Ties van Soest (van der Schuit, Sars), 5: 1 (47:53) Raimond van der Schuit (Müller), 6: 1 (57:44 ). ) Reno de Hondt (van der Schuit, Loginow)
Herner EV Knappen – Rostock European Championship 6:0 (1:0, 2:0, 3:0)
Last season Rostock left Herne with three points and 7:6 goals and this season there were zero points and 1:16 goals. Rostock can certainly do better than that, as they proved in the 7-0 win against Herne in autumn. She was even able to keep up with the shooting ratio. They tested Björn Linda thirty times, without success, while the HEV rang six times in the first 37. Herne’s Finn Tomi Wilenius, who scored a perfect hat-trick, was responsible for this strong result. Another top performer was defender Robert Peleikis, who only scored one point, but scored +4 in the plus/minus rating.
Goals: 1:0 (04:46) Denis Fominych (Orendorz, Ackers), 2:0 (20:16) Tomi Wilenius (Swinnen, Liesegang), 3:0 (35:43) Tomi Wilenius (Liesegang, Swinnen ), 4: 0 (56:12) Tomi Wilenius (Ackers, Hüfner), 5: 0 (56:23) Nils Elten (Linda, Tegkaev), 6: 0 (59:29) Marcus Marsall (Orendorz, Peleikis )
Hammer Eisbären – Hanover Indians 4: 5 (3: 3, 0: 2, 1: 0)
That was close for the Hanover Indians. The favorite faltered, but not and despite an assumed superiority. While the Hammers used their chances extremely efficiently, achieving a shot efficiency of 20 percent, the Indians failed in this category with only 8.7 percent. The polar bears’ best players were Christopher Schutz and Kyle Brothers and of course goalkeeper Daniel Filimonow, while the Indians, who had three games to play in the last four days, earned top marks for Kyle Gibbons, Tobias Möller, Robin Palka and Branislav Pohanka.
Goals: 0: 1 (01:52) Robin Palka (Pohanka 4-5), 1: 1 (06:50) Michel Maassen (Trivellato), 1: 2 (07:20) Branislav Pohanka (Bacek, Möller), 1 :3 (10:54) Niko Selivanov-Esposito (Gibbons, Möller), 2:3 (11:58) Joshua Stephens (Lichnovsky, Rosenthal), 3:3 (12:52) Christopher Schutz (Brothers, Calovi), 3 4-4 (26-24) Parker Bowles (Gibbons, Aichinger), 3-5 (31-28) Kyle Gibbons (Palka, Kiss), 4-5 (47-12) Jesse Roach (Schutz, Brothers)
Krefeld EV U23 – Herforder EV 7: 4 (2: 1, 2: 2, 3: 1)
What a difference? Two months ago, the Krefelders lost 1:9 against HEV and now they won, probably deservedly, 7:4. The most important thing for Krefeld coach Elmar Schmitz: His boys can score goals and not only contingent player Ty Kolle. Particularly strong at the end is Manuel Nix, who has only scored two goals so far this season, most recently against Erfurt three days ago, and who has improved his goalscoring list by 44 places to 133. Annoying for Herford that in the last two thirds was equal, that the chances didn’t work. Even just one power play goal on six occasions is clearly not enough in such clear play.
Goals: 1: 0 (15:36) Edwin Schitz (Kolle), 2: 0 (16:41) Marcel Mahkovec (Hauf, Grygiel), 2: 1 (16:58) Jan-Niklas Linnenbrügger (König, Unger), 2: 2 (23:00) Rustams Begovs (Garten, Rinke), 3: 2 (26:03) Ty Kolle (Nix, Schitz), 4: 2 (30:18) Valentin Pfeifer (Mahkovec, Hauf 5: 4) , 4: 3 (31:32) Rustams Begovs (Garten, Rinke 5: 4), 5: 3 (47:44) Luca Hauf (Rutkowski 4: 5), 5: 4 (51:30) Jörn Weikamp (Krocker, Pietschmann), 6: 4 (53:14) Manuel Nix (Kolle), 7: 4 (59:23) Manuel Nix (Grygiel)
