Heavy Individuals Implicated in Questionable Activities - "Swiss Opponents Outplay DEB Team, Leading 5-1 in Their Match"
German ice hockey's team lit up faces with bewilderment following their 1:5 loss against bitter foes Switzerland. In the fourth preliminary round game, the team led by coach Harold Kreis received a hard lesson — one they have little time to wallow in.
"Honestly, I haven't a bloody clue," said Dominik Kahun, who played in Lausanne, echoing the sentiment of the team.
In Herning, the crew had started the tournament with a bang. However, this time around, they stumbled, as Kahun put it, "We were left feeling particularly heavy when trying to create something today."
The German Ice Hockey Association's selection had set its sights on keeping pace with the caliber of last year's vice-world champions. "We've shown that we could hang with 'em," they said. "But today, we dropped the ball. Now we've gotta dig deep and figure out what went awry."
And boy, did they drop it. The former NHL pro was quick to point out one glaring issue: "We held our own in the first period, but then, we let it all go to hell."
But tomorrow's a new day, and the USA stands ready on Saturday at 12:20 PM, broadcasted on ProSieben and MagentaSport. It's another tough test to secure a quarter-final spot, and Kahun is pushing for a rebirth: "We've got to learn a hell of a lot from that match against Switzerland. We didn't get the win we wanted, but we can — and will — do way better against the Yanks."
