9:37 p.m
Austin Ortega thunders a one-timer past the left corner. Munich is starting again, but time is running out.
59.
9:37 p.m
Empty Net at EHC! Munich wants equalization with all its might. Or will the home team make the decision straight away?
58.
9:35 p.m
Time out EHC Munich! Toni Söderholm takes a timeout with a good 2:42 minutes remaining on the clock and an offensive face-off. He swears in his men. Everything is still there.
57.
9:32 p.m
Coach Tom Pokel’s boys are also stepping up their game on offense. Munich will have to stretch hard to win.
55.
9:30 p.m
There won’t be much fussing around here anymore. Both teams fight with an open mind and want to net. Munich has to come, which of course invites Straubing to counterattack.
54.
9:29 p.m
Ben Street with the shot and then Maximilian Daubner rushes up. But while lying on the ground, Hunter Miska saves and it remains 1:2 from the defending champion’s perspective.
53.
9:27 p.m
Goal for Straubing Tigers, 2:1 by Mike Connolly
My dear Uncle Otto! The guests receive a lightning-fast counterattack from the Tigers bully. At the end of the 2-1 counterattack, Mike Connolly uncompromisingly nets the ball and scores his third goal of the season.
53.
9:26 p.m
Pure excitement at the Bayern derby! A winner is far from clear. After a few minutes of stumbling, the master’s efforts increase again.
51.
9:23 p.m
At times it goes back and forth wildly. In this situation, Mathias Niederberger saves from close range against Bradley with the schooner. The Tigers now clearly have the advantage.
47.
9:17 p.m
Goal for Straubing Tigers, 1:1 by Matthew Bradley
The cauldron is boiling and the audience frenetically celebrates this 1:1 equalizer! Munich bounces the puck to the side and then things happen very quickly. A tight pass follows into the center and Bradley finishes with a fine shot from the wrist on the stick hand side. It can happen that quickly!
46.
9:14 p.m
Tyler Sheehy drives full steam into the danger zone and pulls the blade through. From a short distance, Mathias Niederberger wipes the ball onto the crossbar with his catching hand.
46.
9:14 p.m
Straubing is intensifying its efforts. From the home side’s point of view, it’s annoying that some passes over four meters don’t arrive. Maybe this will take revenge soon.
44.
9:11 p.m
Nico Krämmer and Trevor Parkes pass the puck back and forth several times, which is worth seeing. In the end, however, there is no significant chance.
43.
9:10 p.m
Patrick Hager drives into the attacking third, then turns again and takes a teammate with him. Ultimately, the play equipment ends up in Hunter Miska’s catcher’s glove.
41.
9:06 p.m
The final third is underway in Straubing. Overall it’s a pretty balanced game. Munich runs more offensive screens and has more of the glass.
41.
9:06 p.m
Start of 3rd third
40.
8:49 p.m
Third conclusion:
After 40 minutes, Munich leads 1-0 at the Straubing Tigers. With a very strong action, the supposed favorite took the lead (28th) and has since mastered a number of outnumbered situations. The Straubing Tigers weren’t playing badly at all and had a good double chance right after the 0-1 lead. Nothing has been eaten here yet. See you soon.
40.
8:48 p.m
End of 2nd third
40.
8:48 p.m
Hunter Miska also records another save. There are 33.4 seconds left on the clock for this round.
39.
8:47 p.m
Phew! Now the third in the table puts the shot and rebound past. Munich’s goalie Mathias Niederberger shouldn’t have complained about an impact.
38.
8:45 p.m
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Ryan McKiernan (EHC Munich)
38.
8:44 p.m
There are almost three minutes left in the middle section. To date, no club has been able to take advantage of a power play. Munich made it 1-0 with basically the first really good action in the second third. Both teams then created a few chances. It remains exciting.
36.
20:42
Justin Braun with an attempt from distance. Then Nicolas Mattinen doesn’t hit the target. Munich is in a very good position and the Tigers don’t necessarily get into the lineup quickly.
35.
20:42
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Ben Street (EHC Munich)
Stick check
31.
20:41
Nicolas Mattinen and, on the other hand, Patrick Hager received a penalty for excessive severity. According to the new rules it remains 5 vs. 5.
31.
8:40 p.m
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Nicolas Mattinen (Straubing Tigers)
31.
8:40 p.m
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Patrick Hager (EHC Munich)
31.
8:38 p.m
It is and remains a physical derby. Both clubs don’t give each other anything and go into duels pretty hard. Overall, Munich acts a little more confidently in tight situations.
30.
8:33 p.m
Two Red Buls slide into the home team’s goal. However, the repetition also makes it clear that a lot has been pushed. Shortly before, Mattinen shot at the post and Niederberger cleared the rebound against Marcel Müller.
29.
8:31 p.m
Veit Oswald shoots past to the left. The favored guests follow up and the Tigers first have to find their way defensively.
28.
20:28
Goal for EHC Munich, 0-1 by Yasin Ehliz
Now the doorbell rings for the first time! Konrad Abeltshauser wins the disc on the boards and the guests immediately play the puck forward quickly. Yasin Ehliz stays ice cold after a dream pass from Bittner from his own half and scores goal number four of the season. The puck hits the gable.
27.
20:27
Compelling actions are in short supply. The audience in the stadium continues to put their foot down and sees a slight preponderance of targets in favor of the Tigers. In this third, coach Tom Pokel’s team invests a bit more.
25.
20:24
In this scene, the Tigers play quickly forward, but ultimately fail to bring the disc dangerously in front of the goal. There is still a lot of room for improvement on both sides when it comes to precision.
23.
20:22
Once again the defending champions survive a game with fewer players unscathed. Let’s see when the first goal of the evening will be scored here.
21.
8:18 p.m
Nicolas Mattinen takes the shot and Mathias Niederberger defends the puck with his right pad.
21.
8:18 p.m
We continue in Lower Bavaria. The third place in the table can still have the advantage for a good minute.
21.
8:18 p.m
Start of 2nd third
20.
20:02
Third conclusion:
No goals in the Bayern derby! The Straubing Tigers and EHC Munich go into the first break 0-0. Masters Munich definitely got off to a better start and had more possession overall as well as more chances to score. The Tigers gradually fought their way into the game and also generated a few smaller chances. In fact, the 0-0 score is fine up to this point. Both defenses are good and not all of the final passes are arriving yet.
20.
8:00 p.m
End of 1st third
20.
19:57
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Maximilian Kastner (EHC Munich)
Hook. 53 seconds before the end of the first third, the Straubing Tigers were allowed to play with one man more.
18.
7:55 p.m
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Michael Clarke (Straubing Tigers)
High stick
16.
19:53
Eeew! Chris DeSousa practically hits the disc from the far post past the empty goal. However, Adam Almquist’s sharp pass from the left wasn’t easy to process either. The puck even slipped through DeSousa’s legs and in the end he was only able to hit the thing towards the roof of the stadium.
15.
19:52
The home team’s majority also evaporated without any effect. Both clubs have done their defensive homework very well so far.
13.
7:49 p.m
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Austin Ortega (EHC Munich)
Cross check. So now the Tigers are in the majority for the first time this evening. By the way, Munich has the second best penalty kill of the current season…
12.
7:49 p.m
In the hustle and bustle, Ehliz gets a shot, but is blocked. The hosts have to stretch a lot here and there. Individually, Munich is stronger.
10.
7:45 p.m
First major opportunity for the home team! After two rather half-baked finishes, the Tigers have a great opportunity via Cody Lampl. On the right wing, Benedikt Kohl skillfully delayed and then passed nicely in the middle to the rushing Lampl. His backhand shot lands just next to the goal.
9.
19:42
Chris DeSousa has to sit on the bench briefly and is examined. During one action he hit his head against the goal.
8th.
7:40 p.m
It can be seen that the home team wants to push, but is hardly able to get through. Munich’s defense is compact and overall the guests have significantly more possession than Lower Bavaria. Meanwhile, Niederberger parries a rather harmless long-range shot from Tim Brunnhuber.
7.
7:39 p.m
“We have to concentrate on ourselves and keep the moves simple. It will be important to move the disc up quickly and of course we want to put a lot of pressure on the opponent’s goal,” said Yasin Ehliz before the duel.
4.
7:36 p.m
Minor penalty (2 minutes) for Sandro Schönberger (Straubing Tigers)
Cane stroke. The Tigers captain has to go down and so the DEL’s strongest penalty killing plays against the DEL’s best power play.
3.
7:36 p.m
It goes back and forth quite happily. There are no very, very clear actions yet. EHC Red Bull Munich now keeps the puck in their own ranks and increases the pressure a little.
1.
19:34
After just a few seconds, Munich has its first (good) chance. Adam Almquist plays the disc flat from the left side and calculates that the rebound will reach his teammate. Andreas Eder takes the shot and the puck hits the crossbar. Nice one-timer from Munich’s number 20.
1.
19:32
And get into the action! The host secures the opening face-off and initially plays from left to right.
1.
7:31 p.m
Game start
19:28
The actors drive onto the ice and the audience immediately goes full throttle. By the way: Straubing won the first duel with Munich this season 4:2…
7:19 p.m
“I expect a hard-fought derby,” emphasized Ehliz, who is looking forward to the heated atmosphere: “The atmosphere in Straubing is always good, both fan camps are fully involved. It’s fun to play there.”
19:12
However, the situation with the reigning German champions is a little more “tense”. EHC Munich is currently in fifth place with “only” 28 points. Head coach Toni Söderholm’s starting squad has won four games in a row and is definitely eager to make up ground with another success. “The Straubingers are having a great season. It’s not for nothing that they’re so high up,” warned Munich’s Yasin Ehliz of the third-place team.
7:06 p.m
The host Straubing Tigers greet you with a strong 30 points from third place in the table. Coach Tom Pokel’s team won the home game against Wild Wings Schwenningen 4-1 on Halloween evening. With three goals in the final period, Lower Bavaria secured a well-deserved victory.
19:02
Hello and a warm welcome to the 17th matchday of the DEL. The Straubing Tigers invite EHC Red Bull Munich to the derby. Things get going at 7:30 p.m.
