Two or less Posted October 9, 2011 Report Posted October 9, 2011 Hello from Mannheim, it took some days until the administrator validated my account. I try to do my very best in writing English, but I hope you haven't problems in understanding :D Tuesday evening was a nice evening! The whole supporting programme was nice. Really bad that Jochen Hecht couldn't play (get well soon!), but nice, that he was on the ice to warm up, and without helmet! Nice! Emotional the honour of René Corbet after the 2nd third! Now to the game: The game was the 4th game in 6 days for our team. We saw, that they were exhausted. They tried to hold against Buffalo, the first 10 minutes, they did it well! Nobody ever thougt that we will win this game, Buffalo is a very good team! They play nice hockey! Someone behind me said "they look in one direction, an the play the puck beehind their back without looking at it". But I think, we play in Germany, the opponents in Germany aren't so good, so it's enough how we play. So, now to the atmosphere during the game: We had some other games, where the atmosphere was a bit better, bur on Tuesday it was also nice! Buffalo's fans were very sympathic, my respect, to take the long trip from America to Germany, then to Sweden and then again to Germany. Highlight was "Let's go Buffalo" at the end and the "Mexican wave" (I hope, you call it so) with the Adlers, the Sabres an the Sabres' Fans. Nice! Regards from Mannheim, Germany Daniel Thanks for posting and finding us, Daniel. The Lets Go Buffalo chant by the supporters end was def the highlight for me, i watched the feed online via EuroSport, and that was very classy. Glad the Sabres made the trip over. Maybe Adler will come visit Buffalo one of these years? lol
MERCwaYne Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Hello! And also another Fan from Mannheim found his way to your Forum. It also took a few days for registration! Daniel said everything about the Game. I just want to say something about Rene Corbet (Some guys were asking a few pages before) and about European Icehockey and in special german Icehockey. Rene Corbet was playing for the Adler from 2001 till 2009. He was our Captain since the Saison 06/07 and leaded the guys to the Championship in 2007. On the Ice he was a Worker and Fighter pushing the whole Team forward. During the Lockout Season 04/05 he, Jochen Hecht and Devin Edgerton were the top Scoring Formation. Here are some stats: 314 Games for Adler Mannheim with 130 Goals, 115 Assists and 622 PM So you see, he was not only a good scorer, he was also one of the Bad Guys and is the Second most penalized Player in our club history since 1994! Just look at the Video.... Thats what we`ve done for him! His Number 20 was retired. The Banner sais "Thank you Rene Corbet" Hope you like it! Now Something about German Icehockey: Some of you laughed about the Ads on our Jerseys and in the Arena. In Europe and Germany Icehockey is not as popular as in the states or canada. The Clubs need every Money they get. Every year we have new jerseys with new Ads on it. Don´t forget our Salary. Our Team has 7,3 million Euros per year for the players. With the current exchange rate that are about 10 Million$ And we are one of the top teams in our league! On the other hand this "power break" is annoying for german fans. We don´t know that. For us it´s an annoying break which destroys the direct flow of the game. I hope you understand what i mean! Maybe Adler will come visit Buffalo one of these years? lol Hehe, there are already some plans to visit Buffalo :D Because of the European Trophy we had a trip by plane to Helsinki with a bunch of fans, so why not flying to the states ;) Cheers waYne
Eleven Posted October 10, 2011 Report Posted October 10, 2011 Hallo schön dass du hier bist. It really was a great game on Tuesday in Mannheim, i was there too. I was a real big Adler fan end of the nineties when Jochen Hecht played there and they won two titles in Friedrichspark. I like them still a lot, but i am not so often in the arena anymore. The atmosphere in the fan block was great back in the nineties, and it seems to be still great. And thanks for clarification of the ice size in Berlin, i didn' t know that I hope Jochen will end his career in Mannheim. So do I!
That Aud Smell Posted October 12, 2011 Report Posted October 12, 2011 Luker?hockey nicknames continue to confuse me. What's the confusion? You either add "er" or "sie" to the end of someone's name. Must be that BC education at work again. ;) Take the first syllable of the first or last name, whichever lends itself to shortening, and add an "er" or a "y" or an "sie" to the end of it. If that still doesn't sound right, add a "man" to the end of it. If it STILL doesn't sound right, take the first letter of their last name, and add a "man" or a "dog" to it. One of the above methods should generate an acceptable ockey nickname. and now #26 says "lukey." Lukey Link.
FogBat Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Would you like to ask Crosschecking to be our Best Man or shall I? Count me out. I prefer to keep my Straight Pride intact. Having said that, it would not surprise me if you guys played "F*** Anita Bryant" by David Allan Coe at your "reception".
MERCwaYne Posted October 18, 2011 Report Posted October 18, 2011 I think it is an honour for the fans in Mannheim that we have a place in the new intro from Buffalo! Thank you!
MERCwaYne Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 Hey there! A silly idea growed up to an Big Plan! The Adler Mannheim organized a trip for about 50 Fans to Buffalo and Toronto. We will visit the game Buffalo vs Bruins (8th February). I hope i get a ticket. This could be a great experience! Cheers waYne

nobody Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 What a cool trip that sounds like it will be. Hope it turns out great for you. Don't forget - even with climate change - there will be snow in Buffalo in February.
MERCwaYne Posted November 14, 2011 Report Posted November 14, 2011 We have around 32°F at the moment and it gets colder every day! We can handle snow ;)
MERCwaYne Posted November 15, 2011 Report Posted November 15, 2011 Ladies and Gentleman... The Tour is sold out. At least i did not take 24h at all for that. There is a looooong waiting List... For me it´s a bad day...i was to slow! If this trip will be good, the Adler Organisation will plan another Trip next season!
