After a clear defeat in the DEL play-offs against Straubing, Schwenningen’s Phil Hungerecker is served. The ice hockey professional avoids possible questions even before they are asked – and thus ensures a special interview.

The Schwenninger Wild Wings suffered a clear 5-1 home defeat (2-0, 3-1, 0-0) against the Straubing Tigers in the quarter-final series of the DEL play-offs. For Schwenningen professional Phil Hungerecker, the frustration after the pack runs deep. “Straubing worked harder than we do today. We made a lot of individual mistakes like in game one,” Hungerecker begins the interview on Magenta TV. Probably annoyed by his own performance, but above all by the referee’s performance, he then launches into one of the least meaningful and at the same time most bizarre round-robins in recent years and confirms four times in a very short space of time that he won’t say anything:

“I won’t say anything about the rest because that’s… I won’t say anything about it.” When reporter Sascha Bandermann objected that he hadn’t asked anything yet, Hungerecker replied: “I know. You may ask, but I won’t say anything because that’s an impertinence. It is difficult to control emotions. The whole hall is behind us, we want to accelerate, but… I don’t say anything.”

He then becomes much more meaningful when asked about the upcoming tasks. The Schwenningen team had to give up their overall lead in the best-of-seven quarter-final series as well as their home advantage due to the defeat, but “we have already won there. Everyone can expect that on Tuesday too and then we’ll close the bag here on Thursday,” said Hungerecker confidently with the score at 2:2 in the series.

If the semi-finals don’t work out, the ice hockey professional could perhaps get a few tips from Gladbach stadium spokesman Torsten Knippertz for the upcoming interview. Can be seen here:

After the disappointing main round with fifth place, the team of former national coach Toni Söderholm beat the Grizzlys Wolfsburg 2-1 (0-0, 1-1, 1-0) on Sunday and decided the best-of-seven series 4:0 clear for themselves.

In the fourth meeting in Munich, Gerrit Fauser gave the Grizzlys from Wolfsburg the lead when they were outnumbered (37th). Shortly before the end of the second third, 19-year-old Veit Oswald made it 1-1 (40th). Filip Varejcka’s goal (46th) decided the game. The first semi-final will take place on April 1st. The opponent has not yet been determined.
