The final series in the Ice Hockey Bayern League remains a tight affair: one goal difference also made the difference in the second game.
The miners are now under a lot of pressure.
Königsbrunn
– You only had to look at Lynnden Pastachak’s face to see the abyss.
While his fists flew up behind him, he stared motionless into nothingness.
Or more precisely: he was looking forward to the end of the season.
As the Peißenberg fans, these tireless drivers, left their block after the 2-1 defeat at EHC Königsbrunn, some whispered to each other, “They're still turning it around,” that is, theirs, the Miners.
In any case, after two games in which they played no worse ice hockey, the Peißenbergers are faced with a pretty tricky situation.
They are 0-2 behind in the final series of the Bayernliga
and now have to win three times in a row.
And actually, this whole duel boils down to one question that everyone, whether fan or player, asks themselves: How on earth do you get past this Stefan Vajs?
Peißenberg loses again with a one-goal difference
The final is the goalkeepers' foil.
There are no better players in the Bayernliga than Korbinian Sertl from TSV and Stefan Vajs from EHC.
The two played two almost perfect games and intercepted well over 90 percent of all shots.
It's crazy what this Vajs gets off the line.
Of course the man doesn't belong in league four, he was the regular goalkeeper in the DEL2 for twelve years in a row and was even the best there in his heyday.
But it's now 35 years old and at that age you mostly just play ice hockey for fun.
Watching him in this hobby can either be quite frustrating, if you're like Peißenberg, or a joy.
The biggest entertainment isn't even the parades, but his excursions.
Sometimes Vajs becomes the sixth field player, a sort of ice hockey libero.
To get to the point: Stefan Vajs, the oldie, is a walking wall.
The Miners have to think of something to get past her.
In the second final game, only Lynnden Pastachak managed to do so, surprising him with a shot straight from the faceoff.
The puck was deflected and couldn't be saved.

The scene of the game occurred shortly afterwards when
Sinan Ondörtoglu
simply couldn't get the puck over the goal line.
Or to put it another way, Vajs poked his bat between them in an acrobatic position.
A 2-0 win in this close series would probably have been enough.
But the luck of the game has taken up residence in Königsbrunn.
This may sound spiritual, but in a duel like this without differences, little things make the difference.
Before the score was 1-1, a Peißenberger shot from the blue line and the blocked puck only got a few meters.
Seconds later, the hurried Lukas Fettinger pushed him through between Sertl's legs on the counterattack.
After seven minutes everything was back to square one.
Lynnden Pastachak scores early to make Peißenberger 1-0
These two teams are similar in a second point: they have a top block with the best individual players in the league.
Ryan Murphy, the best import, at Peißenberg, Marco Sternheimer at EHC.
There is no better German in the Bayernliga, perhaps no better at all, than the former DEL man, who surprisingly ended his professional career at the age of 23 and now dominates the Bayernliga at 25 years old.
The two exceptional rows fought each other for two thirds.
They alternated so that they were on the ice together at all times.

From a tactical point of view, this final is also a chess game, in which Peißenberg played a new opening this time: Lynnden Pastachak moved to the second row and Martin Andrä placed next to Murphy and Vogl.
But Königsbrunn and “Sterni”, as they call him, managed to get checkmate.
Peißenberg missed clearing the puck.
The striker drove towards Sertl from a few meters away and converted safely.
Sternheimer and Vajs – the individual class that brings Peißenberg to the brink.
