Quarter-final 1 | Highlights: Adler Mannheim vs. EHC Red Bull München (16/03/2025)
// PLAYOFF-HIGHLIGHTS
Dallas Eakins (coach, Adler Mannheim): "It was an extremely close game. It absolutely came down to the little things. In 50 such games, München and we would each win 25 of them. The DEL should have scheduled all the games for 2 p.m., because I think all the games could end in overtime. So we have some long nights ahead of us. We will now get some rest and then prepare for the next game.“
Arno Tiefensee (goaltender, Adler Mannheim): ”It was a great atmosphere and we are happy to get the first win. It was damn close, but in the end, it's the win that counts.”
Marc Michaelis (forward, Adler Mannheim): "It was foreseeable that the series would be close. An overtime right in game one fits that. The winning goal was a typical playoff goal. München had a similar opportunity shortly before that went just wide. These are the famous little things that matter.”
