What a bitter ice hockey evening for the Fischtowns Pinguins: The team from Bremerhaven scores a regular goal that is not conceded and then they concede the game-winning goal. The DEL admits a mistake, but still rates the game.
Huge excitement in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL): In the 1: 2 (1: 0, 0: 2, 0: 0) from Bremerhaven in Straubing, a goal that was not given according to video evidence caused great outrage. The referees did not recognize Ziga Jeglic’s goal even after watching the TV pictures, in return, Lower Bavaria scored the winning goal from Taylor Leier. An “embarrassing decision,” said Bremerhaven coach Thomas Popiesch on Friday evening: “I have no sympathy for that.”
The encounter remains lost for the Fischtowns Penguins. “Since it was a factual decision on the ice and the subsequent video evidence is also included, the rating of the game remains,” said the league on Saturday night. The referees had just made a “mistake”. The scene should be discussed in detail with those involved.
Meanwhile, the relegation needs of the Krefeld penguins continue to increase. Just three days after the 1:7 against the Iserlohn Roosters, the bottom of the table also lost 4:7 (1:3, 2:3, 1:1) at the competitor Augsburger Panther. “Brutally disappointing,” said Krefeld’s Dominik Tiffels at MagentaSport: “We shoot ourselves in the leg. In between we played more ice hockey than usual, but it’s not enough. If you concede seven goals, it will be very difficult to win.”
Champion and table leader Eisbären Berlin won the top game against the Grizzlys Wolfsburg comfortably 3:1 (1:0, 2:0, 0:1). EHC Red Bull Munich are new second after the 5:2 (1:1, 3:0, 1:1) at the Kölner Haie. The fourth-placed Adler Mannheim trembled to a 4:3 (1:0, 2:2, 0:1) after a penalty shootout against the Bietigheim Steelers. National player Korbinian Holzer left the ice at the end of the first third due to injury and did not return.
