Germany to the finals!

[Sher-Wood]

Germany beating Sweden and Canada on their way to the finals is of cause a big upset for us swedish and canadian fans but in some way I'm loving it. German team are playing a very good hockey winning over the big teams proving their hockey is in an very healthy state. This is good news for world wide hockey fans wanting hockey to be even greater i the future. Go get the gold Germany! (sorry Russian fans but an underdog with so much heart allways get my support in games like these)

I don't think the American team was thought to have much of a chance this tournament, but upsetting Sweden and then Canada is unreal.

Russia looks just about unbeatable, but could you imagine Germany pulling off hat trick of upsets??

 

[NyQuil]

It's a great story and it's good for German hockey.

Congratulations!

 

[Bixby Snyder]

f***ing eh

 

[1Gold Standard]

didn't get a chance to tune in, but good for Germany! I'll be cheering for Deutschland to take gold.

 

[DEVILS130]

Man I really hope they can finish it

 

[torniojaws]

I called it before the tournament started Germany has been on this path for the past 5-7 years, so this does not come as a surprise. They basically have the same vibe and circumstances as Finland had leading up to the 1995 World Championship.

 

[Zamboni Parade]

I have a feeling this will be like the Swiss team at the 2013 Worlds where they somehow make the final, only to get their asses handed to them by the opponent. In fact I hope this is how it will go -- I value my weekend sleep and I really do not want to bite my fingernails at like 6 am on a Sunday morning haha. Silver's good enough, let's just get this over with now okay

 

[NyQuil]

They just need to score first like they did against Canada and Sweden.

 

[Albatros]

They basically have the same vibe and circumstances as Finland had leading up to the 1995 World Championship.

Not really in the sense that Finland had the best roster in the tournament, just no winning culture.

 

[tom leafers]

Well id rather Germany win then Russia, sooo Go Germany!

Agree. I've been saying this for a number of years. One of the lesser teams is going to medal or win a world championship because they have most of their roster intact while other teams don't. I didn't think it would be Germany, I thought that the Swiss would do it first.

Every time someone says this I will imagine that it is 1941.

 

[tom leafers]

ahah i was thinking the same thing. That gold medal game could get heated

Do you have any idea how hard it is not to make WWII jokes when watching Germany? Especially when they have a guy named Krupp on the team!

 

[NyQuil]

The real fun is going to be in the dressing rooms across the NHL of the teams that have the 7 German players.

There's going to be some tasty smack talk for awhile.

 

[Hanji]

The pure joy shown by the Germans after that game was something to behold. Seeing Wolf almost break down in tears - wow.

 

[SotasicA]

This has the potential to be another Miracle on Ice.

Of course the Russians play the part of the bad guys again.

Seriously, it'd be almost as big as Lake Placid 1980.

 

[Nervousbreakdown]

GO GERMANY. Seriously I just dont want to see Russia win. I feel like most of the worlds hockey fans are with me on this.

It will be harder to contain on Saturday when they play the Soviets.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Sweden was deeper but Finland had Lehtinen and Koivu.

 

[NyQuil]

He really shouldn't have played after that hit.

 

[IceNeophyte]

Russia looks really good. They got 3 past a really, really good Czech net last night while shutting them out.

 

[offkilter]

Can't...resist...posting...this...

That's what Hitler said.
