A fiery atmosphere was created during the pre-game build up with home support keen to see a continuation of last season's form, twice beating Augsburg on home ice including a 5-0 drubbing in a sold out Olympiahalle. EHC got the puck into the AEV zone quickly, but were immediately hit on the break and confusion between Felix Petermann and Blake Sloan in the Munich defence allowed Panthers hotshot Sergio Somma room to shoot. He...
