Saying: Er atmet gesiebte Luft - He breaths sieved air
Meaning: He is in jail
Secondly, Bel and I had our second outing to the German Hockey last night. This time it was Frankfurt Lions playing host to the Straubing Tigers. It also happened to be the 15 Year Anniversary of the Lions first game in the League, so they played in their original strip...and I really wish that they didn't. :)
Above are the Original / Third jerseys. Pretty, huh?
Above are the home jerseys for this season.
And above are the away jerseys.
Thing that bugs me about the jerseys in this league is that the focus is on getting as much sponsorship as possible on the things, rather than having some distinguishing team markings. It also means that if you buy a jersey this season, it will definitely be out of date next season, as the sponsors will probably change. But, with that being said, the fans went nutty last night and were buying the new jersey like it was going out of fashion.
But, back to the game. Was a good game with Frankfurt winning 6:5 after 0:42 of overtime. Frankfurt did lead the game 5:2 at one point in time, but Staubingen came back very strongly, with a lot of help from Frankfurt penalties. I think that 4 of Staubingen's goals were scored on Power Plays, whereas Frankfurt scored 4 of theirs at even strength, one in a PP, and one when they were a man down, through a terrific breakaway, and a one-on-one battle with the goalie. Nice little last minute backhand flick into the top of the net from the right hand side was sweet!
Anyway, Josh and Pat, you would have loved it. :)

"Er atmet gesiebte Luft" - that's a wicked-cool saying. :)
Do the Germans use the word "über" much? I love that word!
I haven't heard über used as much as we like to use it. I have heard "ober-" being used a bit, e.g. Das war der Ober-hammer (That was really good), but the "ober-" part doesn't make much sense to me.
Sounds like a sweet game! Although I'm surprised they weren't beaten to a pulp for wearing those pink jerseys and calling themselves hockey players...
All that sponsorship must be the European soccer influences. Boo.
