Eisbears collect defeat in overtime: Christmas without victory!

In an exciting duel of the Oberliga-Nord on Christmas Eve, the hammer polar bears met the Saale Bulls Halle and finally had to give up 5: 6 in overtime in a dramatic game. The polar bears caught a start and in the fourth minute of the Overtime played for their 1403 fans when Eetu Elo scored the winning goal for Halle and dampened the Christmas mood abruptly. The polar bears were able to come back after a catastrophic first third party, but ultimately only one point remained, as wa.de reported.

Christmas competition with ups and downs

The polar bears started with a gap of 0: 3 after they completely slept for the first few minutes. After only 15 seconds and two other goals conceded, the game already seemed lost. But with his goal shortly before the end of the first third, Joonas Alanne caused a wake -up call that culminated in a committed second third in which the polar bears turned the game in their favor. But the Saale Bulls came back and equalized the game in the third third, which led the game into overtime.

Although the polar bears showed fighting despite the precipitation, it was not enough to win. Ibo Weißleder, the sporting director, confidently commented on the morale of his team and noticed that the table did not reflect the true strength of the Saale Bulls. "They will definitely come," said Weißleder, while Saalebulls.com summarized the catch-up of the hammer with a solid game that perfectly captured the excitement of a typical Christmas game.
