Ice Pirates strong but not effective enough

They did well, the ice pirates of the ESC Dorfen.

Amberg/Dorfen – If they had been as consistent in exploiting their chances to score as they were before the first break, they could have scored points in fourth place.

2: 4 (2: 2, 0: 1, 0: 1) they had to admit defeat at ERSC Amberg.

Dorfen went into this game a little changed in terms of personnel.

Maximilian Englbrecht rotated between the posts again, defender Fabian Kanzelsberger, who was suspended on Friday, was back, but the 18-player squad lacked 18-year-old Felix Wiedenhofer, who scored twice on Friday evening.

Amberg, already safe in the championship round, and Dorfen, firmly booked for the relegation round, had nothing left to lose in terms of the table.

But things always go wrong in games at the Krösus spectators in the Upper Palatinate.

The Wild Lions were also the game-determining team, but the Eispiraten brought a 2-2 lead into the first break thanks to an almost 100% conversion of chances and a very strong Englbrecht.

The Ambergers afforded two penalties, and Christof Hradek used them to make it 1-0 (9th) and Urban Sodja to make it 2-2 (16th).

The Wild Lions equalized the first deficit just 33 seconds later through Brett Mennear.

Shawn, the Campbell with the German passport, was involved.

Tanner Campbell, the man with Canadian citizenship, provided the 2-1 lead.

Incidentally, both Campbells are not related or related by marriage.

Until then, the ice pirates had managed without a penalty.

A good four minutes after the restart there was the first.

Lukas Kirsch would have had to wait ten seconds before Felix Köbele used the majority to make it 3-2 for Amberg.

The goal was also annoying, because Hradek had previously made a promising counterattack, but was stopped, and so the counterattack followed with consequences.

Further twos against Maximilian Huber and Benedikt Dietrich in the second half of this third were survived unscathed.

In general, Dorfen was at least equal.

Tomas Vrba had very good chances to score before and after the Amberg lead.

The characteristics of this game did not change in the final section either.

The ice pirates had the equalizer several times on the trowel, but no longer found the effectiveness of the first 20 minutes.

The penalty followed with Marco Pronath's goal to make it 4:2 in Amberg.
