Löwen Frankfurt are defeated by Straubing: pointless weekend in ice hockey!
The Lions Frankfurt had a real test of patience in the German Ice Hockey League (DEL) at the weekend. After losing to Bremerhaven on Friday evening, they continued on Sunday against the Straubing Tigers, one of the top teams in the league. In front of an impressive crowd of 6,444 spectators in the Frankfurt ice rink, the Lions showed some good approaches, but ultimately had to admit defeat 1:3.
The Straubing Tigers quickly took the initiative in the first third. Wade Allison and Stefan Loibl's goals ensured that the guests took a 2-0 lead. Such deficits are tough for any team to overcome and the Lions appeared to have had little time to recover.
The race to catch up
In the second third, Justin Scott made the game almost perfect for the Tigers by increasing the score to 3-0. The lions just didn't seem to have found their rhythm that day. But then, shortly before the end of the game, Christopher Wilkie finally scored a well-deserved consolation goal for the Lions. But that came far too late for Frankfurt to take anything away.
The pressure to achieve results was obvious against both Bremerhaven and Straubing, and the Lions now lost the chance to collect important points that could be decisive in the tight table. The question remains how they want to get out of this misery and whether a course correction is necessary in the coming games.
Looking ahead
Looking ahead, it will be crucial for the Lions to learn from these experiences and improve their performance. Coach and team now have a duty to show that they can make a comeback. The pressure is not easing and fans can only hope that the next games in the league bring a positive turnaround. Additional information about the current situation and the Lions' performance can also be found at kicker.de.
This game once again shows how close the teams in the DEL are and that every league game is crucial. A look at the table shows that the competition isn't sleeping either, so the Lions need to roll up their sleeves and keep working!
