Cologne - The Express had predicted in its Tuesday edition already: There will be a "hate game with a beating guarantee". Un et kütt as kütt et.
Traditionally, the fists fly, traditionally many provocations and is traditionally tomato-referee Richard Schuetz its reputation. There is a bad ice Zoff.
33 minutes and 8 seconds are played, Ingolstadt Scott Ferguson brings out the Sharks bench to the punch, moves to the penalty bench. Only 29 seconds later it pops right. This time score striker Brad Leeb aimlessly loses his nerve, lies down with Bryan Adams to create - a proper fight. Adams is clear winner, levers of Leeb and makes it to the cheers of the fans clapping on the ice.
At this point, the Sharks lead 6-2, and later even 7:2 (including Čiernik season gates 37 and 38!). In the final third of it is suddenly once again close to Ingolstadt shortened to 7-5. But it is closing, but not for referee contactor. Sarcastic he gets away after a game of Sharks coach Doug Mason nor his fat.
The three points to stay in Cologne, as predicted by sharks Manager Rodion Pauels. Cologne v Ingolstadt - it is simply not a DEL-lap main game like any other, even if there are many events planned ... Traditionally same!
