After a six-point weekend, Erding is now fourth in the table.
Erding - The Erding Gladiators have just what is commonly called a run. Thomas Vogl's team has clinched five victories in the last six games, is now fourth and even has a chance of winning the Bavarian Championship. The best-placed Bayern league team wins this title in the Oberliga gear round. At the moment that is Passau with a four point lead. At the Blackhawks, the gladiators celebrated a 6: 5 success, after a 4: 4 deficit, whereby the Passau team itself had provided the greatest possible motivation among the Erdingers.
The Erdinger had already caught up on Friday, turning a 0-2 against Landsberg into a 5-2. "We only needed a can opener," explained Gladiators trainer Vogl. "Many break in after a 0-2 deficit, we just kept playing." He didn't want to point out anyone, but Sebastian Lachner was the man who decided the game for him with his goal to 2: 2 and the passes to 3: 2 and 4 : 2nd The use of the recovered goalkeeper christoph Schedlbauer was not a risk. "He is 100 percent fit again," emphasized Vogl, who was still highlighting a parade of his keepers when he caught a puck behind his back and the fans almost freaked out: "You don't even see a save like this in the NHL," said Erdings Trainer shaking his head.
His fellow Landsberger opposite Fabio Carciola admitted that the Erdinger victory was deserved. "After 2-0 I thought we were going to get points here," said Carciola. "But then we lost the thread and made too many individual mistakes." Landsberg's coach acknowledged without envy: "Erding played the 60 minutes down super."
Passau also had to experience that Erdinger can do this. The gladiators were very motivated by the preliminary report on the Blackhawks website. “The hawks will not get involved in the often“ dirty ”game of the Erdinger. In the first leg of the promotion round, the gladiators tried more to influence the referee and the spectators than to worry about their own game. This is exactly what the Passau Black Hawks will not do for the home game on Sunday, ”it said. As a reminder: There were five controversial goal decisions in the first leg, all of which were made against Erding. At that time, the ratio of the penalty minutes was 30:20 for Passau, on Sunday 26:20. The Blackhawks got five penalties in the last five minutes, the gladiators promptly made a 4: 5 a 6: 5 - and did not even have to play "dirty".
