Oliver Kahn: Skater of Jater?

Oliver Kahn has placed the blame for last week's draw at Hamburg directly on trainer Otto Hitzfeld.

"I demanded a DVR be installed and he refused," he yelled at the linesman during the draw. Bayern Munich's current form has been breath-taking and their midfield domination of teams has meant little work for the keeper who is retiring at the end of the season. After giving away only one attempt on goal in their first three games, Hitzfeld agreed to Kahn's request of a television and satellite hookup between the sticks, but balked at a DVR instillation as it just seemed absurd.

However Mohamed Zidan, who was the first player to score on Kahn, this campaign, caught the keeper at just the right moment while he was watching the season three finale of Lost, which was finally being broadcast in Germany. Kahn was watching as Jack Shepherd descended into substance abuse, when he was forced make a diving attempt at David Jarolim's parry which Zidan was able to clean up.

Hitzfeld has countered that Kahn's anger is not at a lack of a DVR, but rather that he is upset about missing the pivotal moment of the sci-fi finale and having only realized post-game, while surfing the Fuselage website, that the flashbacks had actually been flash-forwards. Kahn has said that the DVR better be in place by the time the 1st season of Heroes is broadcast or there could be hell to pay.
