Eisbären Berlin: Breaked the dream of the semi -finals after a tour!

In an exciting quarter-final second leg of the Champions Hockey League (Chl), the Eisbären Berlin had to take a bitter defeat against the ZSC Lions in Zurich last night and thus missed the move into the semi-finals. The game ended with 4: 5, after the Berliners had played a comfortable 3-0 lead again, such as rbb24 reported.

In front of 6,684 spectators in the Zurich arena, the polar bears started brilliantly and took efficiently their chances. Kai Wissmann opened the gate in the power play in the third minute, followed by other goals by Manuel Wiederer and Frederik Tiffels. But after a strong first third performance, the Berliners are increasingly lost the thread when the Lions struck back in the second third. Just 28 seconds after the restart, Jesper Frödén scored the first goal for Zurich, and in the final section the hosts finally turned the game. Blaine Byron brought the polar bears again 4-2, but the Lions replied promptly and were ultimately the happier ones.

The dream of the semi -finals burst

The disappointment about the defeat is deep. As in the first leg, where the polar bears had lost 3: 4 at the last minute, the players were denied to realize their dream of progress. The loss became particularly painful because the Berliners were in the lead at an early stage. According to Berliner Kurier After their strong start, the ice bears could no longer be drawn into the rhythm and could be overturned by the offensive urge of the Lions. Despite all the efforts, they could no longer turn the sheet, and coach Serge Aubin was forced to increase the risk in the final phase by taking the goalkeeper off the ice - but the miracle failed.
