Kind of funny that German TV promotes this game with: the hunt for gold starts now

Why is that funny? They made it to the gold game last time, almost the same roster now.

Internationally speaking (non-NHLers) Russia is the only team we couldn't beat so far. (and we seldomly played the Finns iirc)

I don't think their players should be any less motivated for this tournament than the players of other teams.

Well sure, they shouldn't be, but they usually are.

"Should" can also be used to indicate an expectation. If anything, this is a much more unique chance for their players to represent their country than it is for other teams. Lack of motivation will not be the issue, but other teams being better might be.

Despite on paper is Germany much weaker than Russia, Finland, Sweden, Canada, Czechia.
The next miracle would only be possible with exaggerated team spirit and this special mentality.
 
I forgot Canada has Owen Power ... shit. This Canadian roster is better than 2018 ... and Power could be the best player on the ice today.
 
And Owen Power
Absolutely. I saw him live a couple of games in the last World Championships in Riga. He was such a stud, and he should be better now, so – expecting a big game from him.
And Kent Johnson looks like will play as well, looking forward to it. I was thinking I would be happy if my Ducks pick him (obviously, not too sad we picked McTavish :) )
