The polar bears can’t find their way in the MB Arena. Against the Kölner Haie they lost 0-1 in front of 14,200 fans nP Kammerer sank the decisive penalty.
The Berliners could have played forever on Friday evening and not scored a goal. They create good chances, but the end is always with ex-Eisbären goalkeeper Ancicka.
Crucial drawback: The Eisbären don’t shoot often enough and curl around the Cologne goal from outside. The weak power play should also be noted. Five chances and no hit. You can’t win like that.
