Intense burdens lain upon public shoulders - "Weight Conundrum: Swiss Overpower DEB by 5-1"
The German ice hockey team, DEB, is left reeling after a humbling 5-0 defeat at the hands of long-standing foe Switzerland in the World Championship. "Honest to God, I haven't a clue," said Dominik Kahun, who played in Lausanne.
Following a solid start to the match, the Harold Kreis-led team from Denmark found themselves in a classroom during their adventure to Herning. "We had an air of recklessness in previous years. Today, we were weighed down with sluggishness in creating opportunities," reflected the 29-year-old Kahun.
The German Ice Hockey Federation's selection aspires to maintain the momentum of last year's vice-world champion. "We were holding our own. That was our mission here. We need to dissect what went wrong now," said the former NHL pro and voiced his frustration: "We were actually toe-to-toe in the first period. Then we utterly lost control."
USA looms on Saturday
The German team has little time to wallow in the 5-0 loss. On Saturday (12:20 PM/ProSieben and MagentaSport), they face their next stiff test in the race for a quarter-final berth. "We've got a lot to learn from that Swiss game," demanded Kahun. "We didn't get the outcome we desired, but we can improve leaps and bounds against the USA."
Regarding the Swiss victory, the inconsistent play, penalties, and the Swiss' offensive efficiency were some of the reasons the German team struggled to keep up. Dominik Kahun will be instrumental in the team's efforts as they aim to regroup and present a stronger showing against the USA. The German team is missing crucial players like Moritz Müller and Kai Wissmann, but belief remains high amongst the remaining players.
