Düsseldorf bring - Right at the start of the new game years, the EC, the hammer-Tour Düsseldorf to Straubing behind.
Eight hours on the motorway in the direction of Bavaria - 590 km on New Year's Day in the bus on the road. After dinner we went straight to bed.
On Friday, even a short training on the program before it today to hunt for the Straubing Tigers come.
One is very hot: Ryan Caldwell. Four games was doomed the defenders to watch. Because he was suspended for his match penalty (after Berlin's foul on Walker), had to get his company with only five defensive players. "This is far from optimal. Therefore it was necessary to constantly switch much, "said Metro-Stars-team leader Walter Köberle. "With three solid blocks, it is much better."
Caldwell burns on his comeback, looks forward to the Tiger hunt. "It's a stupid feeling to be not injured and the team still can not help," says the 27-year-old Canadian. "It's great that I can finally play."
For a Tiger Force, with the Dusseldorf still have a fat account open. "We have twice lost to Straubing away," said Köberle. "Once the fool for a 5-3 lead in the league game and then still in the cup. All the more motivated the guys are. "
Last, everything went according to plan - the DEG holtezehn points from four games. Köberle: "The odds are good: We are well on it play, is currently strong. The atmosphere is top. Everyone wants to get started with a victory in the new year. "
