Mannheim - flat as a flounder lay DEG goalie Jamie Storr to 215 seconds in extra time on the ice - just been him and his team had suffered while in the extension of the "Sudden Death". After great struggle, the slightly depleted DEG Master Mannheim defeated with 1:2 after extra time.
Without three defenders had to take the guests (Dietrich, Van Impe, cantor) - but the fact that the home side took it so lightly, there was no question. Mannheim had a slight advantage. However, just because referee Rick Looker in the start-thirds of four of Düsseldorf and Mannheim's not banished to the penalty bench.
The champions were unable to use their power play against a prima opened DEG Jamie Storr between the posts, however. In the middle section but then the Eagles Leadership: The first shot of Mannheim Martinec, who was driven directly from the criminal bench in position, Storr had been able to ward off an eagle in the follow-up striker was nevertheless successful.
A 0:1-residue selflessly fighting the Rhineland but threw off the course. On the contrary, Patrick Reimer, the coach Slavomir Lener, in the absence of defense lawyers in majority of the Blue Line set, hit the post!
But the DEG but was rewarded: Brandon Reid grabbed outnumbered the disc presented in a sensational solo on the cold floor, had two eagles as the flag poles stand and then lifted the puck over the catcher's mitt of Mannheim's Keeper houses to compensate for the net - Reid genius saved the DEG in the extension, then in through the gate of "Torpedo Edi" Lewandowski, but the "sudden death" was lurking.
"The spectators have seen a very good hockey game - from both sides," said coach DEG Lener, "it was an advertisement for the sport with a lot of goal scenes. My team has fallen to me in the first trimester and in the final minutes. In the extension we have risked everything and lost. "
