According to the it went to the Training of polar bears in Berlin on Thursday in the sports forum Hohenschönhausen. For coach Stéphane Richer, however, was not responsible, but rather its players. Had such a good mood that they found themselves after completion of the exercise unit in a circle in front of the gate together, and there is still a small game, organized. Kai Wissmann, Florian Kettemer and Jonas Müller remained after that on the ice, and had “just a bit of fun”, as Wissmann reported with a grin.
looseness is an important factor in professional sports. In the quarter final series of the polar bear against RB Munich, which will continue on Friday with the sixth duel (19: 30 PM, Arena at the Ostbahnhof and live sports 1), it can be even crucial. The polar bears had to lose in the series against the master of nothing, according to the 1:3-residue by the home defeat last Friday, they were written off. However, after the 3:0 two days later, in Munich in the hope of a turnaround for the people of Berlin alive again.
Accordingly they went into the units this week to be motivated to works–, but also dissolved. This Richer had a couple of fun Exercises, which were not seen in this Form, the last rarely, if at all. So there was a training game, after which the losing team do pushups on the ice had to make. Or two combat exercises with upside down bat, in which the actual top floor end suddenly with the ice acquaintance. “It’s new for all, that we have so long before a Play-off game. That is why we have tried to make things as it was in the regular season also,“ explained Richer. to go
1:0 lead, it would be important for the further course of the game
In the past week had not harmed the polar bear, the four-day break, rather, they found in their second home game of the series at all in the rhythm. “I think we have better trained than last week,” said Richer. However, a false start in game six and take this time, all previously created plans. “With a lead, it is easier, even if we have not won so, of course,” said Kai Wissmann.
In the two successful Play to let the polar bears after the 1:0 for surprisingly little – and laid in their own third of the foundations for their victory. “The guys have done a very good Job building it, so Munich came to Forechecking,” said Richer. And defender Wissmann added: “We were compact as a Five-man unit and we supported each other.”
If the master will, however, be present as undercooked as last Sunday, may be doubted. So far Munich’s coach Don Jackson had still an answer when it really comes down to it. On Friday, he must renounce, however, to a serious knee injured defenseman Konrad Abeltshauser, and that’s why his team again a bit of a rebuild. In the case of the polar bears, however, you trust to the last successful Formation. To surprise each other, is likely due to a total of 26. Game in 24 months of each other almost impossible. “No matter what happened now is, the game starts with zero,” says Richer.
