[Pouchkine]

4-0 Russia.

 

[Fantomas]

Star-studded German roster. Quite imposing. Hold me.

 

[Guy Gadowsky]

Lets go Germany

Deutschland uber alles

 

[Passionis]

Gonna be a wild one.. But really only OAR can beat Russia in this game.

 

[Name Nameless]

Yeah, Germany needed a shoot-out to defeat Norway a few days ago, and Norway lost 6 -1 to Russia, so I think we can expect this to be as bad as it normally gets when Germany tries to take on Russia

 

[Rob]

Germany should be proud of what it has accomplished skrwdy. However. I just cannot see how they can beat Russia.

 

[eviohh26]

That's a really good 2nd line for Russia.. like really good.

 

[Privet]

Russian here.. Would be happy with either team winning really.. a German win would be amazing and a true Cinderella story.

 

[HasbeenHallzy]

8-0 Russia, unfortunately.

 

[ViD]

8-0 Russia, unfortunately.

That’s unlikely , it will be closer

 

[serp]

 

[Hanji]

Finish your miracle. Go Deutschland!

 

[Whaleafs]

I picked Russia after all the rosters were released, but I hope Germany pulls it off.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

Torn between who to cheer for ha ha. On one hand Germany winning would be an amazing story, but they beat Canada and I have a Team Russia jersey in my closet that's looking a little dusty.

Decisions decisions.

 

[lilidk]

I picked Russia after all the rosters were released, but I hope Germany pulls it off.

[FlareKnight]

That’s unlikely , it will be closer

Yeah, probably 5-2.

 

[naruto]

Germany v Russia. Reminds me of ww2. The good guys are gonna win again.

 

[Jacksonbobson]

3-2 Germany

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Remember everyone - no Hitler jokes.

Go Deutschland!

 

[offkilter]

Remember everyone - no Hitler jokes.

Go Deutschland!

 

[Canuckistani]

My heart says Germany (what a story!) but my head says Russia by at least three.

It has the same sort of feel as Slovakia's 2012 run at the WHC, and Switzerland's the following year.

They'll lose badly but the silver will still feel like a major victory. And it is.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Yeah

 

[Xokkeu]

Yeah

What the hell just happened.

 

[Xokkeu]

Finish your miracle. Go Deutschland!
