DEL record scorer Patrick Reimer described the criticism after the weak start to the tournament as "terrifying".

Although it can quickly go the other direction again," said the 39-year-old ice hockey crack and silver medalist from 2018 in an interview with the
Frankfurter Allgemeine Sunday newspaper (FAZ)
