“Sparta Prague was a top opponent on Thursday. Teams of this caliber arrive at full throttle from the first minute and give you no time across the entire field to think about decision-making options. My impression from the bank was that we were really good. And that is also what we want to see: a clear increase from pre-season to the competition games. ”

“The Eisbären Berlin as the next opponent is very similar to Sparta Prague: they have a lot of depths in the lineup and continuously practice pressure, so that you have little time and space to develop. You can only escape this if you are involved and active, not to withdraw and wall. Zones.

“When I think back to my time at the Eisbären Berlin, the first thing to do is come to mind the big backdrop, many spectators and a good show every evening. It is a nice feeling to play there. Many very nice people are also active in the entire organization. As we also have a strong tribe of local players who have been working together for a long time, this is the basis for success. Back then that we want to deliver a good fight on the ice. “

“I think the Champions Hockey League is very great and exciting, it is cool to compete against top opponents from other, often better leagues. If I think back to the round of 16 in 2021, this is a wonderful memory, a highlight in my career. So this competition can create special. If the focus is on it.
