Tuesday, 11. April 2023 | Playoffs DEL EHC Red Bull München: Voices and Stats after Semifinal Game 6
Munich dominant - Wolfsburg jubilant: Semifinal series enters decisive Game 7Voices & Stats for the sixth semifinal game// DEL - CURRENTThe Red Bulls created great pressure, but the victory in the sixth semifinal game of the thrilling semifinal series between Munich and Wolfsburg was snatched by efficient Grizzlys. This means that the decisive duel will take place in Munich on Wednesday. Our forward Yasin Ehliz is "burning for this match", but also spoke about deficits after the 2:3. The voices & stats.
Yasin Ehliz (Red Bull München forward): "Bitter for us. We started well, but then had two or three inattentions, which Wolfsburg used efficiently. It was like in the last games: We have more shots, we have more of the game, but Wolfsburg is more efficient. Now we go to Game 7 and we are burning for this decisive match."
Filip Varejcka (Red Bull München forward): "The finishing made the difference. They played it smart and made good counterattacks, we dominated but didn't put the puck in the net often enough.
It was actually a good game for us, but we have to prevent the counterattacks. We're going to put everything we've got into Game 7. I think we're going to rock it."
Tyler Morley (forward Grizzlys Wolfsburg): "These are the games you play ice hockey for. It's a tight series. We have to act with speed and get pucks deep. We definitely can't afford to lose discs because Munich is extremely strong in the transition game."
Statistics
46:14 shots on goal - it hardly gets more dominant than the Red Bulls in Game 6. However, because Wolfsburg was more efficient (shooting percentage: 21.4 percent) than our guys (4.4 percent), the semifinal series goes to a deciding game.
Chris DeSousa scored his fifth goal in the current playoffs. Four times he played the final pass before a Munich goal. Besides him, only teammate Austin Ortega and Wayne Simpson (Ingolstadt) have nine direct scorer points.
Grizzlys forward Tyler Morley leads the scoring list of these playoffs with 13 points after his goal and an assist in Game 6, ahead of Munich's two forwards Ben Street (12) and Austin Ortega (11).
Ben Street won two-thirds of his face-offs (eight of twelve) - no one was better at the face-off dot than our number 9. With a 62.6 percent rate, he is one of the best face-off players of these playoffs.
The hammer of the game: Zach Redmond accelerated the puck to over 151 km/h, but his shot was blocked by a Wolfsburg player. Ouch!
The Red Bulls have had to go to a decisive seventh game in the DEL playoffs twice so far - both times our boys were successful: in 2018 in the final against Berlin (6:3) and a year later in the semifinals against Augsburg (2:0). The coach of the then semifinal series between Munich and the Fuggerstädtern: Mike Stewart, the current coach of Wolfsburg.
