Germany deserves this win much more. Congratulations. There needs to be a house cleaning now in the federation. Fischer, his Staff, Weibel and the other suits, they all have to go. Its extremely frustrating to lose again this way. But at least this could be the start of a healing process. The Media need to put up some pressure to make this happen now. If the wizards apprentice remains in office somehow, I am done with the national team for good. I always tried to give the guy the benefit of the doubt once each tournament had started. Or rather, I just wanted to believe we could win gold despite having him in charge. Against my better knowledge most of the time. But in the end @Hinterland was right all along. What an "A-grade Moron".

I have the very bad feeling that they will keep Fischer because he was here for our final in 2018 where we beat a loaded Finland and Canada roster.
But if they do, don't expect anything.

Germany arguably deserved to win when they played in the Group Stage.
Third team these teams will play if you count the Pre-Tournament Exhibition.

I honestly did not see this coming and was ready to root for Switzerland the rest of the way.
Whatever it is your federation decides to do, I really hope it works out, because rivalry or not, I am (almost) always happy when Switzerland succeeds.
This Swiss team had expectations of a medal at minimum. The betting markets had them as the favourite to win going into the QFs.
No matter how they slice it, a massive disappointment for the Swiss.
Credit to Germany though, they played an excellent game.

It would be funny if now that they are making the Semifinals and at least playing for a Medal if Draisaitl booked a flight and came over. He's played for Germany about 10 times between Junior and Senior and so far the only medal in his career came from 'Team Leftover-stan' in the 2016 Gary Bettman Cup of Hockey. Best finish (for a German team) was 6th at the 2019 Worlds.

Did not watch, but result has me surprised. For my fellow Slovaks calling it karma, chill guys, don't be pathetic. 
If anything, this another Swiss loss is hinting at Slovakia having to play olympic qualification again, is that our karma? Anyway, congrats Germany, what turnaround from the slow start in the tournament.

Worse result for sure, but Swiss hockey wasn't too strong in that era.
Ottawa wouldn't let Stutzle go. Draisaitl is likely tired with his team going deeper into the postseason and getting hacked and whacked a bunch.

If Fischer is out, I will be grateful to Germany. That would be a big favor.
If Swiss media and the fandom won't come to their senses now and develop enough pressure to get him and Weibel fired then we don't deserve a better coach or any type of success at the WC to be honest.
