SC Riessersee can continue to hope for direct qualification for the playoffs.

At EC Peiting, the SCR narrowly won 5: 4 on Friday evening.

Peiting – It is the fight before the fight that SC Riessersee is currently fighting.

And he really liked this trill with Peiting and Höchstadt for sixth place in the ice hockey Oberliga Süd, which saved a club the thorny path through the pre-playoffs.

In Peiting, the SCR achieved victory number five in a row, with which the team pushed past their local rivals from Pfaffenwinkel for the time being.

To explain the recent run, "We're finally running for something," says trainer Pat Cortina.

The coach reveals that this race for sixth place already feels like the playoffs.

Even if he says: "I don't think it's quite enough."

I'm happy that the team is growing up

SCR coach Pat Cortina

It doesn't matter, Cortina thinks.

The mentality with which Riessersee is currently approaching his games is much more important to him.

"I'm pleased that the team is growing up," said the coach after the 5:4.

Grown up can easily be equated with being ripped off.

Because that's what Cortina thinks.

In Peiting, his team countered almost every goal of the hosts with a goal of their own - including Bastian Eckl's decisive 5:3, eight seconds before the end of the second period.

Adult hockey also means eliminating sources of error.

The SCR was not tempted by this strong game on Tuesday, the 3-0 over Peiting.

Wasn't that important yet, explains Cortina.

"It was this game that was important." Riessersee was exemplary in Peiting.

After being outnumbered in the opening minutes, the guests controlled the entire first third.

Goals from Anton Radu, Tobias Kircher (after an outstanding backhand pass from Moritz Israel) and Michael Knaub (outnumbered/last minute) ensured a 3:1 lead.

Peiting's only goal came on the power play - the great weapon of the ECP.

But of all things, coach Anton Saal later quarreled with the majority game.

He found the actions of his team “too sloppy”, whose form curve, like the share prices, has been plummeting in the past few weeks.

SC Riessersee: Munich contingent players deliver

Small situations showed what it means to swim against a downward whirlpool.

Immediately after Thomas Heger's goal (22nd), Marlon Wolf sunk a solo under the bar.

The Munich series with Sebastian Cimmerman, Bastian Eckl and Wolf worried the ECP with its speed.

You can't say it out loud - but with a full squad including help from Munich, Riessersee would not have maneuvered himself into this predicament of struggling in the midfield of the league.

Cortina makes it clear: "They aren't Munich players, they're Riessersee players." The cheering of Wolf and Cimmerman, who hugged after the goals and patted their helmets, revealed the state of mind of this team.

"This series gives us morale and character," says coach Cortina.

The final phase of the second period served as a mentality booster: first Lukas Gohlke reduced the deficit again (3:4).

"We had the opportunity to come back," explains Saal.

But if you can summarize this game in one key word, it's a "head thing", as the Peitingen coach emphasizes.

Instead of getting angry about the goal, Bastian Eckl immediately hit back for the SCR.

Cortina explains that he worked this way of thinking into the team throughout the season.

Now the work is bearing fruit – at the most important time of the year.
