The press release in full:

Best of five
" mode.
The
Starbulls
are now 1: 2 wins behind.

In the
third game of the semi-final series
, the
Starbulls will
continue to have to forego several key players.
Maximilian Vollmayer, a strong offensive, dangerous goal-scorer and the best point defender in the entire league, has to pass after an injury like in the last game on Easter Monday.
Timo Bakos and Sebastian Stanik
have not
yet
received the green light for a return to the ice.
Michael Gottwald
is with the
U18 national team
.
Game starts badly
The game in the
Selber Netzsch Arena
starts badly for the
Starbulls
.
The vote in the
Rosenheim defense
is not right, Carl Zimmermann has space and time, does not hit the target at first, but can still sink it in the short corner in the second attempt from close range - just 82 seconds have been played.
But the Starbulls defend themselves against the attempt of the High Franks to continue to exert pressure, with success.
At the first
Rosenheim power play
, Self Steven Deeg comes to the breakchane, but
Starbulls goalkeeper Andreas Mechel
can prevent the home side's second goal with a good
save
.

The Starbulls are twice very close to 1-1 before the first break: In an initial Rosenheim pressure phase, the hosts start swimming on the defensive, but a concealed shot by
Michael Baindl
sticks to a skate in front of the goal area (10th).
In the third majority game of the green-whites, Curtis Leinweber shows a lot of understanding of the game and uses Tobias Meier, who cannot get past self-keeper Michel Weidekamp from a short distance without being pushed.
Starbulls take over the direction in the second third
At the beginning of the second part of the game, the
Starbulls
take control
on the ice.
The home side speculate on quick counterattacks from their compact defense, but the
Rosenheim pressure
is too great.
After a shot by Florian Krumpe, which Michael Baindl deflects, the score is 1: 1 (26th) - and the
Starbulls
remain the team with more
target possession,
more forward thrust, more scoring chances, shooting almost three times as often at the opposing team in the second third Goal than the home side.
But the wolves are ice cold in power play.
The first outnumbered game of the high Franconians lasts a full ten seconds.
Nick Miglio scores with his back to the goal with a backhand to make it 2-1 (31st), the
Rosenheim defense
looks unfortunate.
Previously, Enrico Henriquez-Morales had the
Rosenheim lead
on the bat
with a “building trick”
, after which
Michael Baindl, Alexander Höller and Tobias Meier gave
away wonderfully played big chances.
In the majority, the
Starbulls
also have a hard time in the fifth situation, they do not get a single clear shot opportunity.
The narrow lead of the hosts at the second break still corresponds neither to the course of the game nor to the odds.
Second third fought over
The
Starbulls have
to start the
third period
outnumbered, but do not allow a single opposing goal completion for the entire two minutes.
Clear scoring chances are and will remain in short supply on both sides.
The home side's next power play also fizzles out without any effect.
The
green-whites are
running out of time, against the now very concentrated and compact self-defensive work, there are no effective ideas.
Curtis Leinweber
practically works for himself.
with the crowbar the chance to make it 2-2, but puts the puck just past the right corner of the cross (57th).
With an additional field player and without a goalkeeper, the
Starbulls
no longer come into the final position, and when Dennis Schütt slips on the opposing blue line, Carl Zimmermann has a free run and brings the puck in the empty Rosenheimer goal to 3: 1 (60).
16 seconds before the
final siren,
Beppo
Frank
scored the second Rosenheim goal with a full shot from the blue line.
Starbulls now with their backs to the wall
After the
4: 3 away win after extra time in the first game
on
Holy Saturday
and the 2: 5 home defeat in the second clash on Easter Sunday, the
Starbulls are
now in the "
Best of five
" series with 1: 2 wins behind.
The green-whites have the chance to equalize at 2-2 and force an all-important fifth game on Sunday on Friday on their own ice.
