After a tough fight, the Tölzer Löwen lost 1: 2 in extra time in Landshut.
Coach Kevin Gaudet rates the point as a "big point".
Landshut / Bad Tölz - The Tölzer Löwen go into the international break as tenth in the table.
One place ahead of EV Landshut, which they were somewhat unlucky to lose 2-1 after extra time on Sunday.
Unfortunate because Brandon Alderson had already failed after half a minute of extra time due to the impeccable Löwen goalie Marco Wölfl, but was accidentally served the puck again directly at the goal line via Robin Weihager and then the sack to Landshut's 2-1 victory laced up.
"With a bit of luck we could have won," said Löwen coach Kevin Gaudet.
"But away from home it's a big point for us."
Keeper Marco Wölfl holds splendidly
This time too, the Tölzer appearance was similar to the previous away games.
A face that the fans would love to see at home games too.
There are no major defensive blunders, the goalkeeper holds splendidly, and the chance of victory lasts until the last second.
Deciphering the riddle of the home / away controversy is now the task of those responsible during the days off.
Criticism like the last one would not even emerge if the lions always played the way they do in a foreign country.
Tyler McNeely takes the lead
Grant Besse's strong target conquest behind the Landshut goal was a stable basis for Tyler McNeely's opening goal after just two and a half minutes. Landshut struggled with the determined appearance of the Buam, but also the great chance of equalization through Brandon Alderson. Marco Wölfl stopped the Canadian with his first of several feats. On the other hand, Besse also had the prospect of the second goal via Solo. As the playing time increased, the Lower Bavaria gradually took over the reins in front of almost 2,500 spectators. Again Alderson, Sahir Gill and Andreé Hult tried to equalize; but all three failed at the famous lion goalkeeper. The fact that the balance fell anyway was due to the imponderables of an immensely fast sport. Actually, the lions were on the trigger at the return move,but the miss immediately led to a 3-2 counterattack for the home side. And in the process, Gill carved a cross pass from Thomas Holzmann into the mesh. In the period that followed, the Isarwinklers failed to regulate things in excess and were too inconsistent in their execution.
Gill misses the empty lion gate
In the final section it was again the Landshut who missed the empty gate in the person of Gill.
Cam Spiro had the big advantage for the Kurstädter on the racket, before a double majority for Landshut, along with an unpunished offense by Philipp Schlager against Marco Pfleger, caused anxious moments.
But Wölfl could not be overcome until the overtime, so that the lions go into the ten-day break with a morally valuable partial success.
"It's damn hard to play five games in ten days with four defenders," said Gaudet.
"But we fought."
