After a courageous fight, the Tölzer Lions have to bow in the final third and lose 3: 5 at the Frankfurt Lions.
Young goalkeeper Seppi Hölzl was voted player of the evening after an impeccable performance.
Nervousness doesn't have to be a negative accessory.
It can have a positive effect on concentration and performance.
The fact that Seppi Hölzl tended to sleep restlessly on Tuesday night and hardly got a rest heart rate on the bus trip to Mainhattan is self-explanatory from the start, considering the first DEL 2 deployment.
But the 21-year-old didn't show the tension on the ice with a single fiber.
Rather, he kept himself and the boy harmless in a number of situations.
Hölzl not only parried a three-on-one situation for the Frankfurters as their best chance, he also interfered decisively when Dylan Wruck appeared freely in front of him.
The Tölzer backup goalie only looked unhappy at the Hessian equalizer, but Yannick Wenzel's goal cannot be blamed on him.
First third: 16 shots on goal in Frankfurt, only one goal
Just a moment ago, Hölzl stood out as strong as a bear against Ryon Moser, only to let the disc slip between the schooners after the bully that followed.
Wenzel withdrew from an acute angle just at the moment when Hölzl went downstairs and left space for a moment between the equipment.
Previously, Cam Spiro marked the 1-0 of the guests after a great backhand down from Philipp Schlager.
With the final siren there were 16 shots on the side of the table leader, but only one goal.
Undoubtedly a credit to the young goalkeeper.
Tölzer lions set the highlights in the second section
Even with the goals conceded in the second part of the game, Hölzl was unlikely to be an exception when investigating the cause. When the 1: 2 penalty time was indicated for the Kurstädter, Bobby Raymond brought the disc on the box, from where it jumped Tyler McNeely on the skate and Tomas Sykora on the blade. The Frankfurt team’s third goal was also based on a power play. This time Wruck came in cleverly behind the ECT defensive. So far, everything hasn't been that bad. Because the Isarwinkler always set resolute highlights in an offensive manner. Thomas Brandl initially equalized with a backhand lob to make it 2-2 when he was overlooked by the Hessian virus scan shortly before the goal area. Immediately afterwards, Lubor Dibelka was pushed aside by Daniel Wirth at the very last second. And at 3: 3, Schlager turned the tables from 0: 1,by being spot on when Spiro's shot was blocked. An all-round economic story, bearing in mind the double number of shots on goal on the part of the hosts.
Empty net hit seals Frankfurt victory
In the end, however, the more active team narrowly prevailed.
Tölzer attack efforts were hardly present in the final third.
That Gaudet saw his men "better in the game" with only four shots on goal was astonishing.
It is true that Gaudet's protégés largely kept the Frankfurters away from their own goal.
The one indefensible moment did not fail to materialize.
Max Faber's Blueliner was falsified by Moser on Hölzl's schooner, and Rylan Schwartz sank the involuntary submission for a 4: 3 lead, which Moser confirmed in the end with an Empty Net hit.
