GDT: Quarter Final | Russia Vs Germany | 1/2 @ 10 AM | TSN/NHL

[habsrule4eva3089]

Chistyakov is raw but he's going to be a good player.

Heads up Germany what a tourney!

 

[Kleefeld]

It would be nice to have Germany become one of hockey's top-tier nations in the not to distant future...

Not happening.

 

[Antonglk]

Elias was best player for Germany. Stutzl played quick but didn't really show up in terms of good shots.

 

[ViD]

All is well, Russia plays much better against the top teams.

From now on , you will see a different team Russia with Abramov / Chinakhov back in the lineup

 

[The Blue Baron]

Welp only heavy weights left if you wanna count Czech as a heavey weight this year?

 

[Lambo]

Very good game by Germans! I m disapointed by the Russians. I thought they could be a competitor for Canada. After this game i changed my opinion.

 

[Sonk]

Future of German hockey looks bright. Faced a ton of adversity and still came out with an impressive tournament

 

[McMozesmadness]

Anyone who was crapping on this tournament and this German team after the Canada loss can go f*** themselves. Those people had no clue what they were talking about and showed a major lack of understanding when it comes to this tournament.

Major shoutout to this German team. They had a great tournament!

 

[Canada4Gold]

No Elias or Peterka?

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Russia obviously has the better depth, but the top line made things interesting for Germany.

 

[Urbanskog]

An amazing effort by the Germans regardless. Shame they missed so many of the good chances to tie it up.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Elias was best player for Germany. Stutzl played quick but didn't really show up in terms of good shots.

Well he hit the post today if that counts for anything.

 

[Firsov99]

Lmao at the Russian player spinning around looking for the puck when it was stuck in his equipment

This sort of reminds how Holtby was looking for the puck in his equipment

 

[Passionis]

All is well, Russia plays much better against the top teams.

From now on , you will see a different team Russia with Abramov / Chinakhov back in the lineup

Let's hope so! Because this was another Wierd one

 

[GermanNuck]

Proud of our boys. Looking forward to our top line to join the mans team in the not so distant future. Should be an exciting generation for the next few years to come.

 

[HockeyAddict]

Not a fan of Germany's picks for top 3 players... how do you not acknowledge Peterka and Elias?

 

[VVP]

So far this team Russia is about as bad as team Russia that was coached by Plyuschev in 2010 that lost to the Swiss.

 

[Smif]

Czech is a lock at #6 year in and year out.

 

[Inf4mous0ne]

I get wanting to try to spread the love amongst the German players, but how is it not Peterka, Elias, and Stutzle for your top 3 lol.

 

[Antonglk]

Germans deserved more from this than 1-2 defeat.
This Russia team will not get through next round.
- last 2 periods, Germany was better

Seriously? Better? Less shots, 5PPs and only one goal from Russian mistake, that's you called better? Most of the time 5 on 5 Geramany was locked in thier zone. Russian team is terrible on accuracy, otherwise that's was a blowout.

 

[ViD]

Russian anthem two more times please

 

[McDrai]

Not a fan of Germany's picks for top 3 players... how do you not acknowledge Peterka and Elias?

They probably wanted 1 forward, 1 dman, and 1 goalie

 

[Kroly92]

Not happening.

Agreed, still happy to be competing in tournaments. Love the exitment for the team and the talents

 

[GermanNuck]

Not happening.

Not top nation, but we’re certainly getting closer

 

[Daeni10]

Proud of the boys for everything they've done throughout the tournament! Sucks that it has to end today but they gave it everything they had.

Feel like both teams played a pretty good and mature game, well deserving of a quarterfinal!
