What you missed that night in NHL, NFL, and NBA
Dusseldorf While most Europeans are asleep, the North American professional leagues are busy. What happened that night in American football, basketball and ice hockey. Today among other things: The Seahawks have to accept the next bankruptcy.
Football: Another defeat for the Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have also lost their third NFL game in a row, conceding a 15:17 against the Washington Football team. Overall, the team around quarterback Russell Wilson is now with only three wins from eleven games and has little hope of qualifying for the playoffs. Wilson threw two touchdown passes, but only successfully brought the ball to his star teammate DK Metcalf once.
Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke, on the other hand, handed a touchdown pass for his team’s third win in a row, which in turn has realistic chances of making the playoffs.
Basketball: 27 Wagner points are not enough to win
The second-best point haul in Franz Wagner’s still young NBA career did not give the Orlando Magic a surprise success with the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite the Berliner’s 27 points, the Florida team lost 96: 101 on Monday evening and suffered their 18th defeat of the season. “I’m very proud of the way he played out there tonight,” said coach Jamahl Mosley about Franz Wagner, whose brother Moritz Wagner was not used for tactical reasons.
“It’s just a change. At Alba we won a lot more than we lost and at Michigan too, ”said Wagner, who played in successful teams at Alba Berlin in the Bundesliga and at the college in Michigan. “But I think that’s part of it. If you look at the good teams today: Many of them went through exactly these phases. I think we just have to take the process with us and learn from mistakes. That’s the only thing we can do. “
First of all, Wagner had a better result in the NBA with 28 points. On Monday he was the best thrower of the game and also put five baskets on for teammates.
Maxi Kleber also suffered a defeat with the Dallas Mavericks. At 96: 114 at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers, Kleber scored 13 points.
Without national player Daniel Theis, who did not play again, the Houston Rockets got better and faster and won their third win in a row. The Texans defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder 102: 89.
Ice hockey: Kraken lose without pit farmer
The Seattle Kraken are getting along better and better in their first NHL season and now have four wins from the last five games. Without the unused ice hockey national player Philipp Grubauer in goal, the team defeated the Buffalo Sabers 7: 4 on Monday evening (local time) and improved the overall balance to eight wins in 22 games.
Ice hockey: Grubauer does not yet believe in NHL stars at the Olympics
Ice hockey national goalkeeper Philipp Grubauer trusts national coach Toni Söderholm to make the leap into the North American professional league NHL. “He definitely has what it takes – and he deserves it,” said the goalie of the NHL club Seattle Kraken of the Augsburger Allgemeine.
For Grubauer it would be the right step: “Toni is doing an incredible job with the national team. I wish him that he makes the leap to the NHL and becomes head coach there.” Söderholm’s contract with the German Ice Hockey Federation (DEB) expires after the World Cup in his home country Finland (May 13-29, 2022). The 43-year-old had sat in on the NHL club Florida Panthers in September and is thinking about switching to club hockey.
“I think Toni’s big goal is to become an NHL coach anyway. The sooner he gets the opportunity, the better it is for him,” said Grubauer.
In view of the numerous corona cases in the league, the goalkeeper does not yet believe that the NHL professionals will actually participate in the Olympic Games in Beijing (February 4 to 20, 2022). The Ottawa Senators and the New York Islanders had to interrupt game operations due to corona outbreaks in the team. “If other teams are caught now, it may well happen that the NHL uses the period that was actually shoveled free for the Olympics to make up for the failed encounters,” said Grubauer.
