A tough game awaits the polar bears at Ingolstadt: no more fun! – Sports

From an entertainment point of view, this is a shame. The northern team of the German Ice Hockey League (DEL), which has been divided into two parts this season, has always been very interesting.

There were a lot of funny questions about sports days in the Bremerhaven, Berlin and Cologne triangle. When will the Grefelt Penguins change their coach again? Or when will the Germans bring their next player from the Pinguins Bremerhaven America? Did Colner Hay return in a glorious series of defeats like the one in the previous season? Can polar bears really lose? But now the fun is over, the gearing circuit is the line of the day, north to south on the DEL. It was unilateral at first. South won seven of nine games, with a total goal difference of 39:19.

R.P. With the exceptional Dusseldorf EG surprising 3: 2 against Munich, only Iceberg were able to hold themselves back against a team from the South against the Oxburg Panthers on Sunday at 5: 3. Before the groups merged, the Berliners were first sovereign in the north and are now seen by many as a serious rival to Adler Mannheim, who dominates the group in the south.

But now the Polar Bears must first prove themselves against a team like ERC Ingolstadt on Wednesday (6.15pm, live at Magentasport). Marcel Nobles, currently the highest scorer at Iceberg and Dell, says: “I think Ingolstadt is one of the favorites this year, and they have played a good season so far. We have to play our best game to get points. ”

Game differences are not really surprising. In the Northern Group, some teams stumbled into a season that had been on the edge for a long time. After the team was made in Greffield and reunited in practice, they had no production in Cologne. The situation was similar with the Iserlon Roosters who had already changed their coaches.

Polar bears work very well by comparison. In this way, they can keep their own overall against the North-South comparison – even if it is more demanding of them. Marcel Nobles sees it this way: “Of course we now face teams that have not won by four or five goals. I think Oxburg is a good forecast for the next games that await us now. ”
