Trouble about the World Cup Ice in Herning: “Dangerous for the player”
A hole in the ice, difficult to control pucks: The ice cream in the exhibition hall in Herning in Danish is not a World Cup ready. The German ice hockey cracks are annoyed.
NHL goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer had to take back. “Now I have to be careful what I say. Not that I still get a complaint from the World Association,” said the German national goalkeeper after the 5: 2 (2: 1, 2: 0, 1: 1) in the third World Cup preliminary round against Norway.
The ice hockey players are increasingly annoyed by the condition of the ice in the exhibition hall in Herning, Danish. The game against Norway even had to be interrupted twice due to a hole. Numerous passes did not arrive because the ice is too soft.
Grubauer demands longer third -party breaks
“In my opinion, it is dangerous for the player,” complained the 33 -year -old Grubauer and explained: “You can hardly play a pass. It’s like on a pond that melts.”
The goalie of the Seattle Kraken recommends that Switzerland recommends “to extend one or two minutes” before the performance on Thursday (4:20 p.m./ProSieben and Magentasport) against Switzerland. “So that the ice cream attracts longer.”
Team is annoyed
National coach Harold Kreis took note of the ice incidents. “We don’t stay long because we don’t want to waste our energy,” said the 66 -year -old coach. “The team is annoyed. It is of course frustrating.” NHL star Tim Stützle preferred to say nothing about the ice state. Captain Moritz Seider promised: “We make the best of it. It is the same for both teams. There are no excuses.”
