On the second league game weekend in the national ice hockey league, the Black Bears will face two top-class players.
On October 22nd, at 8:15 p.m., ESV Waldkirchen will make a guest appearance in the Weihenstephan Arena.
And on the following Sunday from 6 p.m. there will be a district derby at EV Moosburg.
Actually two games that could be really fun, says coach Nils Hanfstingl.
But even he is not sure about the situation in the hospital, whether his players can play against the two tough opponents with the necessary looseness and cleverness.
In addition to Dmitri Kurnosow and Peter Meier, Fabian Eder, Christian Semmler and the young Theodor Ziegelhöffer will probably also be absent due to injuries this time.
In addition, the Bears from last weekend still have a lot to work on.
On the one hand, there is the more than inadequate exploitation of opportunities.
Above all, the 33-year-old trainer didn't like the attitude from the second third of the 5-0 defeat against Selb at all.
“During training this week, we worked to ensure that the right mentality was displayed, even when things weren't going well.
Because if it fails because of mentality, then we have a bigger problem, ”says Hanfstingl.
Bears in the outsider role
Of course, in the opinion of the coach, the favorite role at the weekend lies with the opponents. Waldkirchen is a team that is difficult to calculate and it depends on how many of the top players like Jan Bojer and Thomas Vezina are there. There weren't very many last weekend. Just 14 healthy players brought the Crocodiles on the ice against Dingolfing and received a clear 0: 4 defeat.
On Sunday the Bears will make a guest appearance in Moosburg.
“I think Moosburg is also a bit crooked.
They didn't think that they would lose the game against Vilshofen at home, ”speculates Hanfstingl.
And the second home defeat last Sunday against Trostberg should not have improved the mood in Moosburg.
Because of the derby character, the coach hopes that his team will show his will against the EVM in order to take the next steps on the way to improvement despite the many failures.
