GDT: Game 14: Canada Vs Germany | 9AM EST 3PM CET

[NyQuil]

Hofer, player of the game for Canada.

Well-deserved.

Seider is the player of the game for Germany.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Stutzle keeps holding on to the puck too long.

He was asking himself ... How do I become Captain of team Canada?

 

[Mikeshane]

All in all a solid game. Goaltending was probably the best part, lets hope it continues.

So why wasn't Hofer playing every minute prior to this game?

Because they weren't sure who was less capable.

So why wasn't Hofer playing every minute prior to this game?

Daws didn't give up a goal in camp/pre tournament I am pretty sure.

 

[Czechboy]

Dude in the Don Cherry style Canada suit is a beaut!

 

[jj cale]

No history of success and playing our backup. I'll definitely not miss a second of it though. We have a 'any given Sunday' chance.

I think you've got a chance. This year has been unpredictable to say the least.

 

[NyQuil]

Good bounce back boys, on to the next one.

 

[NyQuil]

I think you've got a chance.

Especially with what is going on this year.

If the Czech's lose in regulation to both the US & Canada, are they relegated? What tiebreaker is first, Goal Differential or Head to Head?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I know it won't happen but Thomas is my Canadian player of the game. Fantastic work defensively and offensively from him, especially in the third.

Mine would be Foudy. On the puck all game. Scored a nice goal and made a nice play on the ENG. Just a solid all round performance.

Especially with what is going on this year.

Exactly.

They need to play physical like they did vs Germany but stay out of the box. When Canada started playing the body, it really took the wind out of USA's sails.

Canada came out strong today and have been skating miles today. Hard for the Germans to keep up against a team with superior speed and skill.

They’ve had their chances though, this German team is a good team. They’ll crush whoever they get in the relegation games assuming they lose to Russia.

If I were Russia I would be a little concerned for the next game
This German team has zero to lose

 

[Cellee]

4-1 ENer.

Woo! Appreciated

 

[blindpass]

It would be kind of funny if Seider keeps his helmet on.

Doubt anyone would care.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Decent performance against a better than usual German squad. I definitely felt a lack of high end offense creation from the Canadian side of things.

Depends on Russia/Germany... believe it or not, if Germany beats Russia in relegation - they're done regardless of any other results. There is a scenario where Canada wins the pool and Russia gets relegated. Who would've believed that 2 days ago! .

 

[snipes]

You have to hunker down and believe you can believe the U.S, I'll be cheering you guys on today.

Stay out of the penalty box!! but I suppose that just isn't possible at this tournament.

I will also be cheering on our Czech brothers in this one.

Why are you assuming that Germany is the one that goes to the relegation round? As things currently stand, the Czechs are more likely to end up there.

 

[NyQuil]

I don’t know why, but this statement reminds me of this old and hilarious commercial.

Russia has been prone to undisciplined play and Germany has some excellent high end players on that PP.

I expect Russia to win but crazy things can happen at this tournament.

Crazy Scenario - go Germany!

 

[Czechboy]

Does this guarantee the quarter for Canada? They are in a great spot to win pool and getting a friendlier crossover.

Very disapointed the Slovakia/Swiss game is at same time as I was really interested in that one too.

Touche. It’s more likely the Czechs than the Germans end up in relegation.
