[ViD]

Welcome back to elite club, GB !

 

[andy500]

Can't wait!

 

[Lambo]

GB with Joseph Lewis from ESV Kaufbeuern! Kaufbeuren rules!

 

[Rangers79]

Hopefully GB puts up a fun game.

 

[Retroglyphs]

Dr.Drai said something like "pushing them out of the stadium" ... okay then 7-1 and lots of powerplay goals for GER

 

[MartinS]

Do you know expected German PP units? I have seen something like this elsewhere:
1st PP-unit: Pföderl - Draisaitl - Kahún - Eisenschmid - Y.Seidenberg
Do you know the second one?

And who statrts in the net for Germany please? does anybody know?
THX

 

[BigBadBoar]

I am usually supporting Germany, but man, the GB in the elite category after 25 years. I hope they will do some damage and not get easily smashed from the ice.

in last friendly game, PP2 was

Tiffels - Hager - Bergmann - Pfohl - Plachta

Pfohl is cut, I think Ehliz will be played instead of him

 

[kalle wirsch]

On german TV they say that Niederberger would be the starter.

 

[FinPanda]

I can't wait for this game. Very interesting to watch Britain play.

The story of Great Britain's rise to the top pool

 

[slicedbread]

I can't wait for this game. Very interesting to watch Britain play.

Looking forward to this game too. Rooting for team GB. Personally, I think brits want to show they’re capable of playing in the elite group

 

[Zamboni Parade]

GB with Joseph Lewis from ESV Kaufbeuern! Kaufbeuren rules!

They were interviewing him on Sport1 last night, that guy's German is amazing. Like no-way-he-didn't-grow-up-bilingual level good.

 

[GBHockey]

Bowns will be starting for GB.

I'm so nervous already, can't wait and really wish I was there in person.

Come on GB!

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

They were interviewing him on Sport1 last night, that guy's German is amazing. Like no-way-he-didn't-grow-up-bilingual level good.

Yup, Lewis has some talent for the language, that's for sure. Want to see him do well as a former Rosenheim player, few years later and he's about to faceoff against Germany at the WC, nice career path.
Don't know what to expect from this game, hope the boys come out hard and Drai shows some postseason form.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

I'm excited to watch Drai.

 

[Shrimper]

Go GB

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Germany looks interesting. Grubauer will also join the team apparently. That's huge. Expecting Draisaitl and Kahun to dominate this game.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

No more Uncle Sam helping.

 

[BalticWarrior]

This should be a blowout. Anything less than a 5 goal difference should make Germans upset.

 

[3CanesInTheBox]

I placed a random hail mary bet for a couple of bucks on GB, so I guess, gooooooooo Great Britain!

 

[Maverick41]

If Lewis were playing for GB I would have hoped this won't turn into a blowout.
That's no longer a problem.

I really hope Germany can put this one away quickly.

 

[slicedbread]

Come on GB! Bowns is a good goalie (from what i’ve seen in the documentary ) on the other hand I want to see Draisaitl take on the leader role and score some goals. Still rooting for team GB though

 

[BennsGonnaGetYou]

How many players on the GBR team are born outside of GBR?
