Statements
Oliver David (Coach, EHC Red Bull München): “It was a well-deserved win for Mannheim. They made it difficult for us to get our game going. Today wasn’t our best performance, and we also made things hard on ourselves with individual mistakes—one of which led to Justin Schütz’s goal to make it 2–1. We couldn’t find an answer to that, not even on the power play. We’re taking it one game at a time now and will try to extend the series on Tuesday.”
Markus Eisenschmid (Forward, EHC Red Bull München): “We’ve played well three times, but we need to find a way to actually win the games. We can perform better, especially on the power play. It’s now 0-3 in the series; we’ve had four Game 7s. On Tuesday, we have to show what we’ve learned from the first three games.”
Dallas Eakins (Coach, Adler Mannheim): “It was a similar game to the previous ones, but we did better this time. The decisive factors were scoring at the right time, strong penalty killing against a dangerous power play, and another strong goaltending performance. When those factors come together, it puts you in a good position to win the game.”
Marc Michaelis (Forward, Adler Mannheim): “It was an evenly matched game with plenty of chances on both sides. In the end, we applied enough pressure and forced our opponents into mistakes. Our defense is currently a major key to success because we stay compact and block a lot of shots. That’s paying off now in the playoffs.”
