Peat festival even without support: Deb wins the World Cup start
At the start of the World Cup in Denmark and Sweden, a competitive victory is achieved against promoted Hungary. On Sunday the next feasible opponent is waiting for the 2023 World Cup.
Even without the missing NHL star Tim Stützle, the German national team caught a perfect start at the Ice Hockey Championship. In Herning in Danish, the second of 2023 confidently prevailed against outsider Hungary with 6: 1 (2: 0, 2: 0, 2: 1). For the team of national coach Harold Kreis, the fight for the quarter -finals was the expected and hoped for the opening victory.
According to his World Cup commitment, top striker Stützle will also miss the second match this Sunday (4:20 p.m./ProSieben and Magentasport) against Kazakhstan. The German Ice Hockey Confederation is expecting a against Norway on Tuesday with the use of the attacker from the Ottawa Senator.
Germany quickly think
Against promoted Hungary, it was easy for the German team even without the 23-year-old world-class striker. The team listed by Moritz Seider quickly took control of the game. The 24-year-old NHL star of the Detroit Red Wings is the youngest captain since Alois Schloder, who was one year younger in 1971. “We made the right choice,” said national coach district about the defender.
Germany used superiority in front of only 6,184 spectators after eleven minutes to deserve leadership. Justin Schütz ran towards the Hungarian goal, fit Dominik Kahun, who scored easily to 1-0. The 29-year-old also scored a goal at the last World Cup meeting against Hungary two years ago at 7-2.
Upcoming NHL professional increases with World Cup debut
The swing took the DEB selection with it. Joshua Samanski increased six minutes after the first World Cup success experience. The striker converted a perfect presentation by the convincing NHL striker Lukas Reichel (Chicago Blackhawks) at his World Cup debut to 2-0. Samanski will also play in North America in the coming season. The 23-year-old changes to the Edmonton Oilers around superstar Leon Draisaitl.
The Hungarians rarely came in front of NHL keeper Philipp Grubauer in the first section. In the second third, the goalie from the Seattle Kraken had to show his class at least a few times. The German team played too passive against the outsider against the outsider.
However, the district team reacted quickly. Reichel missed the 3: 0 (24th) after passing by Seider. Only a little later did Yasin Ehliz. After minutes, the referees did not recognize the hit due to the alleged disability of the Hungarian keeper (25th). The goals of Lukas Kälble from the Adler Mannheim (35th) and Frederik Tiffels (40th) were then regular. The Berliner concluded a nice attack after a good pass from Reichel to 4: 0.
The German team was still hungry despite the clear lead. Alexander Ehl, who will play with the Adler Mannheim in the coming season, completed the next well -performed attack from a short distance to 5: 0 (45.). The 1: 5 of the Hungarians by Gergo Ambrus (49th) no longer reduced the good appearance of the national team. Kahun made the 6-1 final score (60th) with his second goal.
