GDT: Group A - May 19 - Germany vs USA

[rickardr]

Haha Renberg demolishing Eichel on SVT rn... the only guy in team US he is happy with is Larkin.

And Hanifin, or was it Hallam who talked good about him maybe?

Think it was Renberg aswell!

At least we see where USA is in comparison to Canada, their encounter won’t be pretty.

I don't think it's the best comparison, Germany is playing a much better game today and they really want to show that they can play at top level after yesterday's blowout.

You can throw all past games the U.S played thus far when they play against Canada.

Gord Miller playing Captain Obvious one-time Germany after a brutal 8-1 loss to Canada playing much better today

It's a very even game which is what he's now saying, agree.


1-1 9:36 to go 2nd . commercial break

I still think that team Canada has found much better chemistry so far, they also look way more... organized, their combinations seems to gelling more, that’s really not the case with team USA. Considering even goaltending I have to give Canada an edge.

It's more that USA's been blatantly coasting in just about every game but vs Canada they are sure to try their hardest.

Canada scored their first two on the PP too. Later on when it was 4:1 it just went out of hand cause nobody actually wants to move his arse when your down 1:4

 

[The Hound]

Drai almost 2 assists

 

[Edenjung]

Too fancy attempt.
Should have just shot.

Yup bad first touch there

Perhaps so but the U.S will put together it's best game of the tournament against Canada, the rivalry they have most always brings out the best in both teams.

too be honest, i would just have shot, but my stick handling skills are meh.
My skating is way worse (because i don't play on ice that often, i play way more field hockey).

Same. I proper suck. Started playing only when started going to uni. Would have just fired it at the net and hoped to randomly hit a spot where the goalie happened not be...

 

[aphyro]

What are USA doing?

 

[ryerockarola]

I was going to ask which team scores next, but couldn't decide. Flipped a quarter 2 out of 3, heads USA tails Germany. Heads heads. Coin speaks lol

1-1 after 2

 

[jj cale]

Well this game is interesting to say the least.

 

[EHCler]

To be fair did not expect that performance from Germany.
They are showing a very good offensive game.

Same goes for me. I learnd to play a bit of pond hockey when i was working on iceland before university.
I live in Tilburg that is the Hockeytown of the Nteherlands but we don't even have a Uni team. So i am very disapointed.
So now i only play field hockey and street hockey with some guys and girls in a beer league with ice-hockey sticks.

In our beer league we have some players (mostly the women) who played before and in minor hockey.
Our goalie is from sweden and our right wing player is from finland. Those two girls are running circles around us....

Hopefully we can rent an ice rink next september, because tilburg has 3 big ice-arenas for short-track and for the professional team and the national team

 

[Lambo]

Germany with better gameplay,morte actutess of mind. This DEL-Team are a very big hurdle vor US-NHL-Team.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Niederberger stopping Eichel certainly helped carrying the tie into the 3rd. Guess the US will come out flying, if Germany somehow keeps them away from the scoreboard this might end in a positive surprise.
Props to the slovakian folks, great to see them cheering hard for us!

 

[Firsov99]

The US better win this game, otherwise the team will face a real threat of not making the playoffs.

 

[SoundAndFury]

The Germans just mailed it in yesterday with 3rd goalie in the net, it says nothing about Canada vs. USA.

 

[Svedu]

Is Jack Hughes playing today?
