Forsberg shows everybody how to draw a penalty. That is why the Pens, among other teams, need younger, faster, and more dynamic forwards.

Very few players in Sweden has skated much if at all on natural ice. Of course I have skated on a tennis court at winter, but such things don't matter. It is all about indoor ice and Germany can build it and build it anywhere.

Yeah I wish. The problem is that almost all rinks are build with municipal money. And the financial situation of most cities is abysmal. Just look at Kaufbeuren. One of THE traditional hockey towns in Germany. They needed a new rink and just until a few months ago it looked like they will only get enough money for a small rink with limited seats which wouldn't make it no longer eligible for the professional competitions. Another example is the 300k city I live close to. Only one tiny rink which will most likely be torn down next year to make space for an apartment complex, no replacement for the rink is planned.
 
That PP was definitely the turning point. Normally, if Sweden is 100% in the game, they score for sure. But they didn't and Germany scores 2 :laugh:

And now Germany is even more fired up because they're only 25 minutes away from OT. It's a lot different than trying to survive for 60 minutes.
 
How can Klingberg be this bad against Germany, when he's much better against vastly superior players in the NHL?

He looks horrible.

Sure there are culture in it. But Germany still got alot of hockey culture. In the USA hockey is like the 3-5 sport. I think it can't be worse in Germany, at least not if they get a program.

That's not true. Hockey is only locally played in Germany. Basically outside the DEL/DEL2/Oberliga cities there is absolutely zero interest in hockey, unfortunately.
 
Reimer one timer there 2-3 germans

Swedes are not tired. They can step it up

It mentally this one. I like it. Swedes are first in world ranking i think. Top 3 fur sure. But this is great too see. Swedes play awful.
