Grizzlys Wolfsburg – EHC Red Bull Munich 3: 2 (series status 1: 1)
Wolfsburg equalizes in the series and narrowly wins the 2nd game 3:2. The Grizzlies take a 2-0 lead in the first third with a lightning-fast double strike. The connection hit in the 3rd third by Patrick Hager to 2.3 from the Munich safe came too late. In the end, Wolfsburg defended the lead with man and mouse over time.
Munich captain Patrick Hager: “There’s a reason why Wolfsburg are in the top four. We played a bad first third. We had to chase it the whole game. In my opinion, we still had enough chances to still be able to win the game. Ultimately, you need you full 60 minutes, especially in the playoffs. We didn’t show that. If we don’t play the passes properly and let the pressure constrict us, then you’re doing something wrong. In the end we’re there with two goals and have to chase them. That was the crux of the matter. Anyone who thinks you’re walking through the semi-finals with a sweep is going to be wrong.”
