Intermission, cue up non stop Ferraro raving about Stutzle.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Germany looks terrific offensively and terrible defensively so far.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

If Germany had any sort of respectable depth they'd have a real shot in this tournament.

Unfortunately for them, Seider and Stutzle can't play 60 minutes.

Rather listen to Stutzle talk vs US Coaching decisions.

All true. The Germanswill surpass a number of countries soon I think. It's in their DNA

Possibly, they have to keep thinking building aggressive skill play and try to leave back off counterattacking in the past if they want to accomplish that however.

still, can you imagine a hockey instead of football crazed Germany ? look the f*** out then,lol

Most definitely.

Their forward depth is great. Seider is another story but they really don't need Stutzle playing 60 minutes. It's highly questionable if he is even best German forward at all.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Shootout would be fine with me I guess. Not sure but I think they gonna feel the short recovery time for sure, at least the top players who are playing so many minutes. However I'm more confident for tomorrow after the first period, even though I still think you guys will take it.

Overall a pretty good period, depth is killing the team though

Seider played massive minutes on no rest in the Traverse City tournament. Has been playing 20+ a few times in three games in three nights in the AHL. Not sure he tires easily, guy looks built and thinks the game like a huge minute muncher. I expect he will be great tomorrow.

Really excited as a Wings fan where his game is already and the upside.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Germany looks terrific offensively and terrible defensively so far.

Probably 4-1 if Seider hadn't put up 10 minutes that period.

I’m not even sure what single so called “grinder” the Yanks even have that their coach supposedly favours.

Did Babcock get a dual citizenship?

How old is this German team.
How many players would be eligible for next year as well?

install ice on the floor of the Olympic stadium in Berlin...?

 

[Goldenhands]

What are the top 2 lines for Germans?

 

[newfy]

Who would you say is the best German forward? Based on that period I think its pretty clearly Stutzle. I agree the depth on forward is better so he doesnt need to be out as much as Seider but hes their clear go to guy up front I think. Bokk probably should be the top dog based on age but it really doesnt look like it

 

[Maverick41]

I couldn't see who that player was, just waiting for the puck to come to him, before the second US goal, but come on man, that is not going to cut it against the USA, the Czech or the Kazakhs.
A guy who gets a bit lost in all the excitement about Stützle, Peterka, Reichel, Seider, Schütz and Bokk, is Taro Jentzsch. I thought he played really well that period.

If they can keep the US to 6 goals or less, it will be a good result.

Average 18.57. Can return 7 guys. But that includes this goalie(their backup this year), Seider, and 3 of their 5 best forwards, if they don't lose anyone to NHL, Seider and Stutzle are possibilities.

 

[Opak]

How old is this German team.

Dominik Bokk would be the only one of their top guys, who would NOT be able to return.

7 underaged players and 3 of them 2002

 

[WingsMJN2965]

With the way Seider has been so far this season, I wouldn't expect him to be back next year.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Dominik Bokk would be the only one of their top guys, who would NOT be able to return.

I'd say Schutz as well. Jentzsch is decent too. Probably their 6th best forward.

Yes, Stützle is their best forward. It is quite obvious. Bokk, Reichel, Peterka are very solid as well. Their D is below average except for Seider who just cannot play 45 mins per game. Still they look like a pretty competitive team.

I would go for tie everyone down and force them to watch this tournament as a first resort. Then maybe they will go.."hey, we have been missing something not taking this sport seriously"

I actually edited that and Stutzle in there too. Not ninja editing fast enough haha
