Ice pirates Crimmitschau triumph in the heart-stopping finale!
The second division ice hockey team Eisspiraten Crimmitschau once again made people sit up and take notice on the last matchday. In a thrilling match against the Lausitzer Füchse, the Crimmitschauers prevailed 3-2 and celebrated their tenth win of the season. Despite personnel concerns, the team showed a strong performance, with goalkeeper Oleg Shilin making a decisive contribution to the success, especially in the second and third periods. The decisive goal came from Ladislav Zikmund in the 53rd minute, who scored while outnumbered after a pass from Thomas Reichel and crashed into the post. This means the team remains on the road to success, while the Foxes have to cope with a bitter defeat after taking an early lead.
In the first half of the game, it was Berger Berardinelli who gave the hosts from Weißwasser the lead in the 2nd minute. But the Ice Pirates didn't have to wait long: McCormick equalized in the 13th minute. The second third then belonged to the Crimmitschauer, who increased the score to 3-1 within two minutes thanks to Slezak and Peter. Weißwasser appeared to be combative, but was unable to counter the Ice Pirates' superiority. The host ultimately conceded all of the goals they conceded when they were outnumbered and were therefore more than vulnerable on defense.
Fast-paced final section
In the last third there were further exciting scenes. Preto increased the score for the Ice Pirates in the 45th minute, but Wruck gave his Foxes new hope with two goals in the 47th and 58th minutes. However, this double blow did not bring about a turning point, as the Ice Pirates were able to secure the final score with further solid defensive performances. Nieleck then scored the final point with 14 seconds left and secured a valuable away win for his teammates.
Although the Ice Pirates from Crimmitschau continue to suffer from personnel problems, they demonstrate remarkable resilience. Leading players like Zikmund and goalkeeper Shilin play a central role. The team captain is optimistic that with this attitude they can continue to establish themselves in the top third of the table. After their tenth win of the season, the Ice Pirates are in a strong position and are making a strong impression in the league with their game.
