Forwards many opportunities have been recklessly messed, had to back Lars Weibel-saving goal in the Sharks on several occasions. In the 39th Minutes made it Straubing Charles Steward of three meters and hit the post with complete freedom. The sharks were advised to fall back.
Quite, quite unnecessarily, as previously presented themselves in various Überzahlspielen many opportunities to decide the game early. But the power play is the weak point. Even a one-minute double majority brought up with anything. There are currently major problems that need to be urgently corrected.
In the same vein of humor coach Igor Pavlov: "The game did not have a good level. We have made many serious mistakes. Maybe our guys have been presented to the light. "
