First bankruptcy, then victory: “Nature Boyz” show two faces

First a bankruptcy, then a victory: The Forster “Nature Boyz” recently showed two faces.

At the home game against Bad Aibling there was a special feature: spectators had to be turned away.

Forst - “Sold out.” In the history of the Forster “Nature Boyz”, this rating has probably never had a home game.

At the state league appearance against EHC Bad Aibling it was time - but the enthusiasm of the club superiors was limited.

Due to the restrictions due to Corona, only 50 spectators were allowed to enter the Peißenberg ice rink.

Numerous visitors, reported SC spokesman Werner Schilcher, had to be refused entry.

"This game should have seen a lot more, because it offered everything a hockey heart desires," said Schilcher.

With a 5: 4 success over the “Aibdogs”, the “Nature Boyz” made amends for the bitter 2: 8 bankruptcy two days earlier at EV Pfronten.

In the Allgäu, things went well at first.

The early leadership of the "Falcons" made up for Manuel Weninger.

As a result, Forst determined the game.

A penalty gave Pfronten the 2: 1 (16th).

In the middle third, the Forster suffered a “collective dropout”, according to Schilcher.

By the 28th minute, Pfronten had extended the lead to 6: 1.

That meant the decision in this game.

Manfred Guggemos scored the 2: 6 (34th), then Pfronten scored two more goals.

Nature Boyz: Exciting game against EHC Bad Aibling

The Forster had apparently digested the defeat quickly, because against the EHC Bad Aibling, the team showed mental strength, according to Schilcher.

The “Nature Boyz” took the lead four times and the guests equalized four times.

However, that in no way shook the men of the coaching duo Armin Dallmayr and Martin Kirschner.

The home side used an outnumbered situation to score the winning goal: Manfred Guggemos pulled away and heaved the puck into the net to make it 5: 4 (59th).

The guests then took the goalkeeper off the ice for an outfield player, but the Forster couldn't take away their second win of the season.

Both teams had offered the spectators an open game with numerous chances.

Sebastian Sutter brought the "Nature Boyz" into the lead (5th), only 28 seconds later Bad Aibling equalized.

As a result, the goalkeepers showed strong saves on both sides.

In the middle section, Bastian Grundner (23rd / 2: 1) and Michael Krönauer (33/3: 2) met for the Forster.

The Bad Aiblinger managed to tie each other (30th, 36th).

The longer the final third lasted, the more the tension grew.

Daniel Anderl scored 4: 3 (56th) after a nice combination, only 31 seconds later Bad Aibling had equalized.

In the power play, the "Nature Boyz" finally decided the contested game.
