The Eisbären Berlin won the fifth Playoff final game for themselves with an impressive home win against the Cologne Haie and earned the championship title highly.
The Eisbären Berlin won the fourth win in the fifth game against the Cologne Haie again with a furious appearance and prevailed high with 7: 0 (4: 0; 2: 0; 1: 0). The winning of the 11th championship of the Berliners was perfect – and rarely a team achieved a more deserved and dominant success.
It was the next demonstration of power for the team of Eisbären coach Serge Aubin, which showed its best side in the playoffs against the overwhelmed sharks. The Berliners scored 27 goals in the five games (5: 1, 1: 2, 7: 0, 7: 0, 7: 0) and showed an almost terrifying efficiency in front of the shark goal in almost all matches.
Overwhelmed Cologne
The Haie-coach Kari Jalonen team tried everything again in this last playoff game, but was again not up to the force and the physical superiority of the new German master. The Berliners were at least one number too big for the sharks, which can still look back on a successful season at a little time and despite the lack of opportunities in the final.
The Cologne team started offensive and even had the opportunity to lead in the 1st minute, but striker Alexandre Grenier fled the puck past the puck past the post. And actually this research would have had to give confidence at the beginning of the Rhineland, but the opposite was the case.
Double strike of the polar bears
Less than 120 seconds later, polar bear attacker Zach Boychuk was on hand and hammered the puck from a central position into the stitches to 1: 0 (2:52 min). And the screaming of the goal was not yet faded when the puck fidgeted again in the Cologne network. Just 19 seconds later it was polar bear attacker Gabriel Fontaine who put the over 14,000 spectators in never-ending euphoria and bliss and scored 2-0 (3:11) with a clever shot in the left corner.
The team of shark coach Jalons tried not to show this double strike, but the uncertainty on the one hand and the superiority of the hosts on the other left left deep traces.
Berlin in a permanent attack
The preliminary decision then fell a few moments later: Ty Ronning already scored 3: 0 (7:51) in the 8th minute of the game with a violent shot about the goalkeeper shoulder. It was already the eleventh playoff goal of the Canadian.
And so not enough, one wave of attack by the Berliner followed the next. The sharks were visibly overwhelmed and had to accept further goals. Marcel Noebels used a shot of the Eisbären defender Norwin Panocha defended by Haie goalkeeper Tobias Ancicka and pressed the puck from a short distance to 4: 0 (11:17) Humorless over the goal line. After the one -sided 1st third, the game was almost decided.
Cologne post shot
In the 2nd third, the polar bears continued where they stopped a few minutes earlier and scored almost at will. Striker Yannick Veilleux was shot in front of Haie goalkeeper Ancicka and unconsciously transformed the sky to 5: 0 (23:45). Boychuk converted from an acute angle after a spectacular combination over five polar bears to 6: 0 (29:21).
After all, the sharks left an offensive sign of life. Maximilian Kammerer pulled off the left Bullykreis and hit the right inner post with this hard hit shot.
“The polar bears play at a different level, they are simply incredibly recorded”said Cologne attacker Parker Tuomie after the section.
Tiffels sets the final point
In the 3rd third, both teams were primarily concerned with bringing the game over time as injury-free as possible, while in the ranks the new title was already celebrated exuberantly by the polar bear supporters.
While everyone involved was already preparing for the final whistle, the polar bears raised the result again. Berlin attacker Frederik Tiffels converted to the final score of 7: 0 (53:52).
