Before the decisive group game in the Champions Hockey League (CHL), Bremerhaven coach Thomas Popiesch criticized the German ice hockey league's schedule.
The background is that his Fischtown Pinguins two days before and two days after their important international appearance against the Czech top club Sparta Prague (Tuesday, 19.
Bremerhaven - 00 a.m.) are also required in the DEL.
“It couldn't be more stupid.
This is a provocation, "said Popiesch of the" Nordsee-Zeitung "(Tuesday) from Bremerhaven.
“For me it is catastrophic, as is planned in the DEL.
It's disrespectful.
It has been shown from the beginning: The DEL does not care that the CHL gets to a higher level.
They don't care, that's why we can't get a millimeter further. "
