The SC Riessersee was actually already defeated, but reared up again.
But it was in vain.
The Eisbären Regensburg won 8: 4 and the SCR had three injuries to complain about.
Regensburg -
Actually everything was already decided.
The Eisbären Regensburg take a 5-0 lead after 32 seconds played in the final third.
The SC Riessersee was beaten and could have packed their bags.
Get out of the hall and get on the bus.
One time home, please.
But that's not Coach George Kink's kind of man.
They continued to fight.
Panic at Regensburg
Christopher Chyzowski makes himself virtually invisible to the polar bears.
Curves loosely alone behind the goal of the hosts.
Then comes the disc.
Regensburg's goalie wants to grab, but Chyzowski is faster.
He steals the puck and pushes it in quickly.
The 1: 5 from the point of view of the guests.
Don't panic with the polar bears.
Simon Mayr is served exemplary by Robin Soudek and marks the 2: 5.
Don't panic with the polar bears.
Nick Endress scores his first goal in the white-blue jersey.
The 3: 5.
The polar bears are slowly moving, but don't panic yet.
Uli Maurer scores 4: 5 from an SCR point of view.
Panic among the polar bears.
What's happening?
We were through already?
They seemed to be asking themselves such questions.
Your coach Max Kaltenhauser knows what his team needs now.
A quick break.
The trainer chose encouraging words.
And they worked.
Fabian Herrmann puts the hosts at 6: 4.
Impact hit of the polar bears
All of these scenes played out within six minutes.
Then the game was finally decided.
The polar bears' sixth hit was one of those legendary impact hits.
Even then, the SCR did not give up, but a little later they were doubly outnumbered and had to swallow the 4: 7 as well as the 4: 8.
SCR hands over the game
0: 5 after 41 minutes.
It reads as if the guests were hopelessly overwhelmed.
But it was not like that.
Riessersee had more of the game at the beginning, acted more structured, more determined.
But in the middle of this phase, the 1-0 for Regensburg fell.
This was followed by a penalty against Uli Maurer.
In these few minutes the game slipped out of the hand of the guests.
Soaring windows cause two injuries
In addition, all players on the field had to be careful of high-flying windows.
At first Regensburg's Tomas Schwambeerger couldn't avoid it.
He got the pane in his face, for him it went on.
Anton Radu and Tobias Möller were less lucky on the SCR side.
Both were hit in the face by the puck.
In both cases the blood flowed, for both the game was over.
Maurer's bitter own goal
She hadn't even started for Eetu-Ville Arkiomaa.
The top scorer of the white and blue was missing injured.
And you could see that on the offensive.
Again and again the men of Coach Kink created good shooting opportunities, but the puck kept sailing past.
And in the back, more and more gifts were distributed as the season progressed.
So the polar bears gradually moved on and on.
The 2-0 draw for the SCR was particularly bitter.
Although there are officially no own goals in ice hockey, this was crystal clear to Maurer.
The striker tried to intercept a pass, but forged the target two meters in front of his own goal so that it slipped through the legs of goalie Daniel Allavena.
Bad luck coupled with inability
The next three goals conceded were then paired with bad luck with SCR ineptitude.
The race to catch up would almost have changed everything again, but in the end it has to be said that the Regensburg team did not end their small series of bankruptcies undeservedly with two defeats in a row (1: 7 against Höchstadt, 0: 2 against Peiting).
