Eisbears are clearly subject: Hannover Indians triumph 6: 1!

On Friday evening, the team of the Hammer Eisbären lost 1: 6 against the Hannover Indians in front of their home backdrop and must now deal intensively with the reasons for this clear defeat. The game took place in front of almost 1,300 spectators, who were able to observe a clear superiority of the guests from Hanover. Daniel Reichert returned to the ice after an injury -related break of three games, but his presence could not bring about the turn.

The game began with an early goal of the Indians that Tim Krüger scored in the 13th minute. Supported by Christmann and Wolter, he ensured a quick start. Just five minutes later, in the 18th minute, Jonas Wolter increased to 2: 0. The Hammer Eisbären did not find in the first third and only shot on the goal seven times, while the Indians already recorded 15 shots.

diagnosis of defeat

Sports director Ibrahim Weißleder said critically about the inconsistent performance of his team after the game and called for a quick analysis of the events. The polar bears were also unable to convince in the other sections of the game. The second third caused further disillusionment when the Indians scored two more goals within just 27 seconds. Ryker Killins scored in the 28th minute, followed by Tino Metsavainio. These two goals rang the preliminary decision.

The fifth goal of the Indians fell through Allksi Halme in the 32nd minute. Joonas Alanne scored the honor goal for the polar bears in the 39th minute and thus the first goal for 1: 5, but the deficit was already clear. The result was finally rounded off by Igor Bacek's PowerPlay goal in the 53rd minute, which rely on a final result of 1: 6. Despite multiple overpainting options, the hammer polar bears were unable to score further hits and further improve the poor overall balance.

outlook on upcoming games

The hammer polar bears are now under pressure to stabilize their performance, especially with regard to the next game against Erfurt. Ibrahim Weißleder asked his team to quickly concentrate on the upcoming challenges. In the meantime, the Black Dragons won 3-2 on the same evening in penalty shooting against Rostock Piranhas and can have legitimate hopes for a place in the pre-playoffs.

The top division, the third highest ice hockey division in Germany, is viewed by the polar bears as an opportunity to improve and rebuild their strength. The groups North and South have been structurally separated in this class since the 2015/2016 season, with the best teams in the play-offs fight for promotion to the DEL 2.

Overall, it should be noted that the polar bears have to work on their consistency in order to be successful in the hard -fought league. The next challenge is already around the corner, and only a usual strong performance can make home fans conciliatory again.
