The majority game of SC Riessersee left a lot to be desired in the game of the ice hockey Oberliga Süd against EC Peiting, to put it mildly.
One reason why the SCR's 3-1 defeat was deserved.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen -
The SC Riessersee was never known in the past few years for performing particularly well in power play.
In the current season, however, it looked partly very appealing, which the white and blue special teams conjured up on the ice.
After all, the SCR is in fifth place in the league-wide statistics.
In the home game of the ice hockey Oberliga Süd against EC Peiting, the Riesserseer did nothing to improve these statistics.
On the contrary: The poor powerplay game was one of the many reasons why the SCR lost 3-1.
The counterpart on Sunday evening was the ECP, second in the undernumbered statistics.
And in the Olympic Ice Sports Center they presented right from the start why they came in second in this table.
No sooner had the game kicked off than a Peitinger took a seat on the penalty bench.
The next two minutes passed uneventfully.
Well, it can happen from an SCR point of view.
The next chance will come.
And it came right afterwards.
23 seconds after the ECP was complete again, the next player had to watch for two minutes.
A copy of the first majority followed.
The SCR did not fire a shot.
Peiting knew how to nip any attack in the bud.
Even in five-on-five there was no improvement.
The Garmisch-Partenkirchner presented themselves completely without ideas.
In particular, the lack of captain and creative head Florian Vollmer (upper body injury) was clearly visible.
The guests didn’t do much better at first.
Accordingly, there was boredom on the ice.
This was perfectly accompanied by a yawn from ECP coach Sebastian Buchwieser.
Only towards the end of the first period did the game pick up some speed.
The first structured attack by the SCR via Uli Maurer led to the chance by Robin Soudek (15th).
Two minutes later, the ECP showed how to consistently use an excess.
As soon as Bastian Eckl was sitting in the penalty box, Simon Maier turned away cheering - 1-0 for Peiting.
It continued in the second third with a counterattack according to the textbook.
The ECP captured the disc, played a quick pass to Nardo Nagtzaam, who in turn made it 2-0 for the guests - to the clearly audible displeasure of SCR coach George Kink.
Nothing at all came together for his team during this phase.
Eckl also noticed that a little later he was given another two-minute break.
"Tired of the shit here," yelled the licensing player before taking a seat.
Eckl should continue to play a leading role in this game, still not a happy one.
The next power play of the Riesserseer should be an even weaker one.
The pane hit the side band in the neutral zone and from there through the legs of the stunned Eckl.
Dennis Neal said thank you, went to the goal and put the puck in it.
Eckl's sympathetic reaction to this faux pas: He thundered his bat onto the ice, including a loud roar.
Then the seconds of the majority ran out and the SCR again had no scoring chance.
In the final third, a lot of frustration had built up.
He briefly discharged himself at Soudek.
His violent shot hit the connection hit.
Can the SCR still turn the game around?
He has proven several times this season that he can catch up.
But not that day.
