after the early effort to keep the series closed, Köln just disappeared and lost 3 consecutive games by the same humiliating score of 7-0
in many years I've been following hockey, it's the first time I see such a dramatic and protract downfall by a team in the final series
DEL Playoffs
The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)
Game #5: Eisbären Berlin (2) b. Kölner Haie (6) 7-0 (4-0, 2-0, 1-0)
Eisbären Berlin win the series 4-1 and they're 2024/2025 German Champions!
Our judo is facing a deep, deep crisis for years now. Don´t see it change anytime soon. We are not a combat sport nation anyway, but at this sport we at least have some history. Apart from a decent performance by Van Krevel (and maybe Gersjes), anyone can see it is a big mess within our federation and this has effect on even our half-decent athletes, although Sanne was very unlucky in the draw.
