Schwenninger Wild Wings: 2: 5 defeat: black evening in Frankfurt – sport
die Schwenninger Wild Wings ended the ice hockey year 2022 on Friday evening with a 2:5 (0:4, 0:1, 2:0) defeat at the strong DEL promoted team from Frankfurt.
This means that the guests have not yet managed to jump to ninth place. The Neckarstädter had gotten under the wheels, especially in the first third. Wild Wings coach Harold Kreis summed it up: “The first three quick goals we conceded tore us into a deep hole. We only played good ice hockey in the last third.”
There was a great atmosphere in the sold-out Frankfurt ice rink. Around 750 Schwenninger fans traveled with them.
The personal details
While Harold Harold circle in the Frankfurt ice rink on squads and ranks the convincing 4-0 win against Nuremberg set, lion tamer Gerry Fleming had to do without “repeat offender” Ryan Olsen, who was suspended for seven games after his match penalty in the most recent 6:3 in Augsburg.
The first third
The party started with an ice-cold shower for the people of Schwenningen. After only 114 seconds, the Frankfurt team managed to take a 1-0 lead with Carter Rowney outnumbered. Wild Wings keeper Joacim Eriksson looked unhappy. He had left his goal to clear and control the disc, with Rowney practically up after a mistake.
The lions are brutally effective in the next few minutes. In the eleventh minute Kevin Maginot made it 2-0 – Rowney (13th) was responsible for the 3-0. The injured goalkeeper Bastian Kucis had to leave the hosts. Jake Hildebrand came. The Wild Wings still had no access to the game and received unnecessary penalties.
When Sebastian Uvira and Alex Trivellato were sitting in the cool box, Frankfurt’s top scorer Dominik Bokk scored to make it 4-0 (17th). The expression on Schwenningen’s coach Harold Kreis as he walked into the dressing room during the first break spoke volumes. The guests’ plan to keep the zero for a long time had long been in the wastepaper basket at this point.
Harold Kreis’s speech to his team was short and certainly a bit louder. Already four minutes before the restart – in front of his team – the Wild Wings coach was back at the gang.
The second section
In the middle section, his team fights solidly, but shows too little train to the Frankfurt goal. In the 31st minute, Will Weber received a game penalty after a gang check followed by a fight – Peter Spornberger had to go down for ten minutes. Outnumbered, Carter Rowney (33rd) scored his third goal to make it 5-0. Schwenningen defender Johannes Huss during the second break: “Our first third was a disaster. Either we turn it around now or we lose.”
The final phase
Huss followed suit and reduced the deficit to 1:5 after a fine individual performance in the 44th minute. Alex Karachun (48th) put the intermediate score at 2:5 from Schwenninger’s point of view. The Wild Wings show good character. But there was nothing more in it for her.
On the way home, the people of Schwenningen will have a toast at midnight, despite the defeat on the bus. The Spink twins celebrate their 30th birthday on Saturday.
The look at the derby on Monday
The Wild Wings now have to digest this defeat quickly at the turn of the year, because the home derby against the Adler continues on Monday evening. “Mannheim is one of the championship contenders. We can’t afford to openly exchange blows against such a team. Whenever we wait for the Eagles to make a mistake,” continues Harold circle in the first game of the year on the support of the fans. “The atmosphere is always great against Mannheim. For me, that’s the best atmosphere in the league ever,” said striker Boaz Bassen, looking forward to the hit. The Helios Arena could be sold out on Monday night.
