Tölzer Löwen beat Freiburg 8: 5, but lose McNeely and Bohac for the time being.
Bad Tölz - This match was perfect for Christmas.
Because it was a successful mess for the Tölzer fans, who spread out in the restaurant and boxes to watch the game on Boxing Day.
13 hits imply an unusual spectacle.
The Lions defeated EHC Freiburg 8: 5, grabbed the fourth three in a row, but lost for the first time Tyler McNeely and Dominic Bohac.
A spectacle full of goals with gifts
"That is such a maximum of bad luck, simply unbelievable", Kevin Gaudet tries to sort out his emotional world.
On the other hand, like a prayer wheel, he repeated the unrestrained appreciation for his team.
"Recently I have often spoken of pride, but you can't be more proud of this team than I am," said the coach once again, praising a tirelessly hard-working collective.
Before that, prosperity and ruin were not far apart. The lions with the brisk 2-0 lead, but also with two mistakes that the guest from South Baden knew how to use. Lubor Dibelka opened the scoring in power play by spotting the gap between the post and the schooner by Wolves goalie Patrik Cerveny and knowing how to use it precisely. Maxi Leitner followed up with a strong solo, first turning around the last Freiburg defender, then also Cerveny with stoic calm.
Everything looked pretty good, but the bottom line was that it didn't fit.
In the 2-1, Jordan George was overlooked on the remote gate rod despite his gold helmet, then Jimmy Hertel blundered Scott Allen's embarrassed shot from the side boards.
A trend whose continuation seemed to be indicated in the second section.
Ian Brady with the power play goal to 3: 2, Tyson McLellan sent the return tie afterwards.
The great moment of the lions
But then the great moment of the lions.
Dibelka rounded off Philipp Schlager's sensational move 4: 3, Nico Kolb only eleven seconds later.
And when George booked four minutes of wellness in the cool box and Christoph Kiefersauer added two minutes, Dibelka was there again - 6: 3.
However, Freiburg came up again after a crowd at the goal area.
In addition, the Breisgauer started the final third in excess.
And on the Tölzer side, McNeely had disappeared into the cabin with a groin problem - the quality of the wound was unclear.
Tölz did what was indicated in an emergency, set the perfect counterattack through Markus Eberhardt, who came from the penalty box - 7: 4.
But Freiburg shortened and tried on instructions from coach Robert Hoffmann with a remaining playing time of more than four minutes, somehow to make the turn without a goalkeeper.
But Cam Spiro scored the goal.
Around the time Bohac limped off the playing surface with a knee injury.
