Halbfinal-Traum der Blue Devils Weiden: Top-Scorer Tyler Ward ist weiterhin „absolut überzeugt“

Tyler Ward erzielte drei Tore für die Blue Devils Weiden und war nach der Niederlage bei den Krefeld Pinguinen extrem genervt. Mit etwas mehr Ruhe verriet er Oberpfalz-Medien aus dem Bus, wie die Best-of-7-Serie noch gewonnen werden soll.
