Justin Schütz and Maksymilian Szuber have incidentally already auditioned the first leg against EVZ pros Luca De Nisco and Dario Allenspach on the console - and clearly beat their Swiss colleagues 9:1.

The prize: a Gameworn jersey of Zug from the current CHL season. The jersey will be auctioned off soon, the proceeds will go to the junior department of EHC München e. V.

Bavarian coziness beats cabin smell Our guys and their Swiss counterparts chose different setups: the two Red Bulls made themselves comfortable on the couch in Suber's apartment, De Nisco and Allenspach sat in the EVZ locker room - in a haze of sweaty field hockey gear. Things got uncomfortable for the Zugers after the puck drop, too. "I've been playing NHL on the console a lot," Schütz reported. It wasn't the first time Szuber had the controller in his hand either. And the opposing duo quickly got to feel that.

Playful Red Bulls in scoring mood

Our youngsters started strong, Ryan McKiernan and Chris DeSousa netted in the first 20 minutes. In the second period Patrick Hager and DeSousa added to the interim 4-0. For De Nisco, things were clear: "They're more cold-blooded."

He was nonetheless combative, even after Zach Redmond conceded his fifth goal: "The game's not lost yet." The Munich show went on, though, and after Hager's 6-0, Szuber asked wryly, "What do you think, Justin, do they even have the will?" They did, although Maximilian Kastner and Yasin Ehliz increased it to 8:0. But then it was finally time, the Zuger Ehrentreffer finally let a smile flit over the two EVZ professionals.

Zuger want to give the answer on the ice

The final point to 9:1 final score set Schütz - with the virtual player Schütz. "We sent the guys home with 9:1," laughed the final scorer, and Szuber added: "Hopefully things will go as well for us on Tuesday." The Swiss won't make it that easy for the Red Bulls, though. "We've saved the goals for on the ice," Allenspach announced. The answer to how it will actually go will be on Tuesday at Oberwiesenfeld. The return match will take place eight days later (November 23 | 7:45 pm) in Zug.
