Heavily decimated Tölzer Löwen defend themselves bravely in Dresden, but lose 1: 4.
Dresden / Bad Tölz - In the end only nuances were missing, primarily the strength.
Without a serious shot on goal in the final section, it was impossible for the lions to reduce the 1: 2 deficit.
They lost 1: 4 to the Dresdner Eislöwen on Friday.
"The chance was always there, but after the 1: 3 we were flat and couldn't fight back," said Kevin Gaudet, regretting the very short bench.
In the end the strength runs out
The Buam - as is so often the case abroad - in the first section fully on the heights; with the better start, the more grippy chances, but also the setback with his own power play: Timo Walther screwed himself around Cam Spiro on the counter move, put the body between the US boy and Josef Hölzl, before he gave the lion goalie the first noteworthy opportunity defeated the Eislöwen with the backhand. In the meantime already the fifth shorthander for the Isarwinkler.
Apart from this penalty, there were chances for Spiro and Ian Brady, as well as a nice solo by Lubor Dibelka across the entire field, in which Simon Karlsson prevented a better conclusion due to an infraction.
But the majority game was not Tölz's hobbyhorse that evening.
Too cumbersome, too seldom in formation.
Dresden, which ran up quite a lot, was far from offensive fireworks, but presented itself more efficiently than the Upper Bavaria.
David Suvanto made it 2-0 from the blue when Philipp Kunekath restricted Hölzl's view.
Philipp Schlager hit the post was bad luck.
Dibelka was luckier.
He hit from a central position with a bone-dry shot in the lower left corner, although the German-Czech was alone within four ice lions.
Josef Hölzl received 55 shots
Hölzl's achievement should by no means go unmentioned. This time, unexpectedly stepping in for Jimmy Hertel, who had a feverish cold, the 21-year-old is gradually substantiating his claims to a status that goes beyond that of the emergency nail. "I'm happy for the young guy when he holds up so well," even praised Dresden's coach Anderl Brockmann. Hölzl had to parry 37 shots in the first 40 minutes, another 18 followed in the final section. There was nothing to hold back for him at the 3-1 of the Saxons, because he outmaneuvered after Tom Knobloch hit the post again and was powerless against Matej Mrazek's margin.
In addition to Hölzl's brilliant deeds, the lion's number game was responsible for the long short score.
The referees made a rather petty decision, against Markus Eberhardt in two cases alone.
The party was decided four minutes before the end.
Tomas Andres sent the puck just past Marcus Götz into the short corner so that he could defeat Hölzl against the direction of travel.
The Tölzer looked far anxiously at Dennis Miller, who had to be hit by a slap shot in the knee area and led off the ice.
