Actually, it is “relatively simple,” says Leo Pföderl. “Upper Bavaria is bright, the sunny side of Bavaria and Lower Bavaria is rather dreary, so dark.” Now the native Upper Bavarian plays in the service of the Berlin polar bears, but such a victory against a team from Lower Bavaria is of course something special for the Tölzer Pföderl , especially if he has a significant initiative in 4-2 against the Straubing Tigers with two goals and two templates.
For the Berliners, the success meant eight game days before the end of the main round in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) the early qualification for the play-offs, although no one was allowed to doubt their achievement before the game. A lot should have happened.
For the runners-up, the game was also a successful test regarding the KO round, because despite the full line-up, they also had to manage a defect. The polar bears competed without their four regular centers.
“I have never seen that that there is no center forward,” said Leo Pföderl. He himself was led as a center in the once again outstanding series of attacks alongside Frederik Tiffels and Ty Ronning. The abstinence of the four injuries was not really noticed, even if the bully statistics (22 won, 34 lost) was clearly negative from the polar bear’s perspective.

At least in two of the four injured Berlin Centers, it looks so bad in perspective. “If it had been a play-off game today, they would have already played,” said coach Serge Aubin on Sunday. With Blaine Byron and Manuel again it will still take a return to the team, but he will expect the comebacks by Gabriel Fontaine and Zach Boychuk in the next few days.
Fontaine and Boychuk will probably still watch Fontaine and Boychuk on Wednesday at the game in Frankfurt (7.30 p.m., live on magenta), but will take part again on Friday against the Augsburg Panther. “I’m sure I’m back,” said Boychuk. It ran around in a good mood on Sunday in the Uber Arena cabin. Maybe without the awareness that such a victory against a team from Lower Bavaria can be a special satisfaction. After all, Boychuk is Canadian and not upper Bavaria.
