GDT: Germany vs Sweden @ 7pm PT/ 10pm ET/ 4am Tuesday CEST

[SoundAndFury]

Yeah Quapp really did Germany no favors this period. Then again, shots are 12-5 so he could have been the only person holding them in it.

 

[ORRFForever]

Well now this has gotten out of hand quickly for the Germans.

Yup. How long until I check out and watch the final episode of Better Call Saul?

 

[NitroF]

If Emil Andre has been Sweden's best player in this WJC they are in big trouble.

You probably mean that their best players must be the best players for this team to stand a chance later in the tournament, but he really stands out so far though.

 

[Summer Rose]

Did you join the Church of Ra as well?

The church of St. Cuthbert.

 

[ORRFForever]

Germans playing well. Someone call me if they tie it up.

 

[Chainshot]

Rosen made that look easy.

 

[PanniniClaus]

well we must be fair and that was a nice double save by Clang...

 

[Chainshot]

Clang getting it done to keep it close.

 

[ORRFForever]

Germany playing great in Period 2. Sadly, they are still down 2 goals.

 

[ORRFForever]

Germany doesn't have anyone who can finish.

Blank is the one guy that can but aside from the PP, he's hardly had any looks. Sweden seem to be giving that 1st line extra attention...Finns will likely do the same

[PanniniClaus]

Don't quite get the goalie swap...Lunemann i suppose will be in the mix with Wolf to start in December. I'm wrong . He's an 02 as well.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

It’s all Swedish. No Finnish

 

[SoundAndFury]

Don't quite get the goalie swap...

I think this is just a courtesy, as a thank you for the time.

 

[JellyRamp]

havent really payed much attention to this game, but sweden looks really good

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

PP germany.

comeback time

 

[mouser]

A classic silly goal for Germany

 

[Bounces R Way]

A guy named Munzenberger would score a goal like that

 

[Statsy]

Then you really haven’t paid much attention to this game.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Much like in the previous games, Germany looks coherent enough as a team but the offense remains pretty anemic. Hard to see them scoring more than 2 on Finns.

Had the game on in the background, not much for Germany to win in this one, though. We've come a long way, it's an improvement to hang with Sweden for parts of the game. Tiny steps..

Maybe not so tiny, relative to several years ago. This is considered to be at best an average German junior crop so I feel quite positive they could stand their ground although they had no real business in actually winning this game. But they hung in there with the big boys and in the end it was the two pp goals that were the difference.

In my perception, that is quite the accomplishment tbh. Also, last December we had beaten the Czech before the tournament being cancelled. All things considered you dont have to look too hard for positive signs although there are no highflyers in the pipeline atm.

Yeah Germany is finally looking like a mainstay in this tournament.
