Can neither team be relegated or just one of the two?

 

[Jakk123]

Can neither team be relegated or just one of the two?

Neither.

 

[Sanderson]

Actually, I think France only has limited protection. Germany gets treated as main host for next year and thus cannot get relegated. France, on the other hand, is protected from relegation as long as Germany isn't in a relegation-spot. Should Germany finish last and France 7th, France would go down.

That was what they announced last year, maybe they have changed thins by now, but I don't think so.

edit: let me amend that. The ruling I mentioned was about the case of Germany and France both being one level down in 2016. In that case only Germany would have gotten an automatic spot in 2017. So it seems like indeed neither can go down.

 

[saintflannel]

Great effort by Meunier to set up the French odd-man rush. Nice finish by Raux.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

That's going to be a looong game for Germany..

 

[saintflannel]

Man, does Sacha Treille ever run around. Bad hit on Ehrhoff. He almost killed a Belarussian kid a few years ago. Dirty player.

 

[yoteshot]

What the hell is France doing, taking all those penalties? They're good on the PK though!

 

[tade]

2nd time 'too many men on the ice' penalty for France in 1st period. 5on3 for Germany.

 

[saintflannel]

Brutal. Huet looks great though.

 

[tade]

It's always tough battle against France, they play hard. Love it.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Germans with their best New York Rangers impression.

We need a miracle to score on Huet, our fore- and backcheck is bad, nervousness all over the place.

 

[Bookker]

Man, does Sacha Treille ever run around. Bad hit on Ehrhoff. He almost killed a Belarussian kid a few years ago. Dirty player.

Don't say such things when you just see 7 games per year from him.
He is not a dirty player


Btw french players have good legs for the moment !
Hope they will continue to battle hard like that

 

[Sanderson]

Germans with their best New York Rangers impression.

We need a miracle to score on Huet, our fore- and backcheck is bad, nervousness all over the place.

Meh, there were two or three occasions were Huet would have been left without a chance, the German player just flubbed receiving the pass properly.

It definately takes a bit more than what they have shown in period one. One great shift by the Draisaitl-line, but the rest has been German controlling play without getting the really big chances, with France being dangerous on the counter-attack. Not a good combination if your defensive is rather suspect anyway.

You really cannot let something like that goal happen though. Multiple pp-opportunities handed by the French (they really need to tone that down, that was quite the compilation of unnecessary fouls and stupid changes, none of the penalties were really a "good" one to take) and nothing to show for.

 

[tade]

Rieder, PP goal, 1-1

 

[saintflannel]

Not a lot of 5-on-5 hockey here.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Pielmeier with a Tommy Salo impression..

 

[saintflannel]

Nice shot by Schütz.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

Jesus Christ, how can you fan on these chances?

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Fighting to miss the open net.. Yikes..

 

[varsaku]

Jesus Christ, how can you fan on these chances?

Should have scored on that chance.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Yeah, what else..

 

[saintflannel]

Good hand-eye by Claireaux. Looked to be under the crossbar. Should be a good goal. 2-2.

 

[Sanderson]

Unnecessary goal in the last minute of the period, a pity, the rest of the period had been pretty good. Not to mention Holzer with an awesome hit shortly before the goal.

 

[FinRanger]

lol if u don`t score on those opportunities you don`t deserve to win
