EA Schongau only has to win one of the remaining four games to reach the Bayernliga championship round.
A project that could be successful this weekend.
Schongau
- EA Schongau is entering the final spurt of the Bayernliga main round with a contrast program.
Today, Friday, the “Mammoths” will be playing at the penultimate, EC Pfaffenhofen (8pm), on Sunday championship leader EHC Klostersee will come to the stadium on Lechuferstraße (5pm).
"We can close the bag in Pfaffenhofen," says Schongau's coach Rainer Höfler, referring to the results of the catch-up games last Wednesday.
With another win, it would be the sixth in a row, the Schongauers would no longer be able to take a place in the top eight.
Ice hockey: The Schongauer lost the first leg against Kellerkind Pfaffenhofen
In the end, the people of Pfaffenhofen were truly not blessed with success. Only in one of their last eight games did they go off the ice as winners. In total, the "Eishogs", who are the league's shooting gallery with 125 goals conceded, only have a meager four wins this season. They got one of them at 7: 6 in the first leg in Schongau. "That was one of our worst games of the season," says Höfler with reluctance to recall the bankruptcy in the only EAS game that went into extra time this season. The winning goal of the ECP was scored by Connor Sanvido, who said goodbye to Pfaffenhofen a few weeks later. Since then, the "Eishogs" only play with one foreigner. “Just like us,” adds Höfler. Only Roman Tomanek is available to him,as Jakub Muzik is not allowed to play as an unvaccinated person and Jason Lavallée is banned for four more games.
Ice hockey: Leonhard Zink before returning to the Schongau team
Leonhard Zink, who was injured last, may return to the team this weekend.
The "mammoths" will have to do without the support license players of EV Füssen until further notice.
"The EVF DNL team is now against relegation, so they need every player themselves," reports Höfler, who, however, understands this measure.
Nico Fahr, one of the young talents of the Allgäu, who recently supported the EAS regularly, is out because of a shoulder injury that he sustained at the home game against Schweinfurt last week.
Ice hockey: Schongau's coach does not see his team without a chance against leaders Klostersee
But even with a small cast, the “Mammuts” proved to be competitive in their most recent appearances. That's why Höfler doesn't see his team without a chance against the huge favorites from Klostersee. "Everything has to be just right then, because the EHC has high quality right up to the third row," was the assessment of the EAS trainer before the duel against the best offensive and the best defensive in the league. Both teams would actually have faced each other in Grafing a week ago. The Schongauer had to cancel this game due to a lack of players. In contrast to the corona-related failures, which are not included in the rating, the game is rated as lost for the EAS with a score of 0: 5. "We wanted to remain fair in terms of sport and not construct any suspicious cases,with which we might have got around a rating, ”says EAS team manager Martin Resch. Participation in the championship round should also not be to be taken away from the "mammoths". A single win this weekend would be enough to end all arithmetic games.
