GDT: Semifinals - February 23 - Canada (3) vs Germany (4)

[QnebO]

I posted that they could win gold after win on sweden.

Then moral gold winner would be Finland because we beat them clearly, wohoo!

But Russia is easliy the best team in tournament, itll be hard to win them. And in gold game they will not under perform

 

[snipes]

Meh it's not best on best doesn't mean anything really.

Congrats to Germany that's a huge win for them though, and I'll be pulling for them in the Gold medal game.

Thanks for ruining our Golden Era, Gary.

No Germany write the Miracle on Ice! Forget the US-Miracle. Here is the german Miracle!

 

[Eisen]

Canadian fans gave ovations to the German team. A fantastic gesture.

 

[Canuckistani]

I was looking forward to a Canada-Russia final but I'm still happy for the Germans.

Great game and a well-deserved win. I'll be rooting for them to take the gold. An amazing story.

 

[Loosie]

Canada needs another hockey summit.

nope.

#GaryKilledCanada

A chance for three in a row. Argh!

 

[Soedy]

People saying this is an upset must be joking, or maybe delusional.

Upset? No. Huge surprise? Yes.

 

[Lovedemfanboys]

Is this bigger upset/surprise than Sweden - Belarus in Salt Lake? Anyway congrats to Germany and respect to Canada for staying relatively clean.

 

[SladeWilson23]

I don't get why people seems so surprised, best Canadian player was Derek Roy what can you seriously expect?

Germany's best player was Ehrhoff. Your point?

 

[Kuhta]

Hockey Canada is in deep trouble I see

 

[New User Name]

Congrats Germany

I think everyone will be cheering for Germany to win gold......except Russians.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Congrats to Germany, I hope this is a huge moment for German hockey. Them making it to the gold medal game and potentially winning the gold means a lot more for their country than Canada.

Canadians played hard but you can't come back from 3 goal deficits.

 

[Zamboni Parade]

Canadian fans gave ovations to the German team. A fantastic gesture.

Yeah that was nice too see

 

[damicius]

so funny to read this thread from beggining to the end

confidence.....doubts.....disillusionment....disappointment......hope....reconciliation...forgiveness

like a movie

No Germany write the Miracle on Ice! Forget the US-Miracle. Here is the german Miracle!

Hardly a miracle. I said it before the tournament started that USA and Canada probably won't even medal. If Canada wins the bronze they did better than I expected.

 

[Cloned]

Canada got what they deserved. Played like a bunch of cocky *****ebags through 2 periods before finally deciding to play hockey in the 3rd. That usually never works.

 

[CatsforReinhart]

As opposed to what Germany's roster was made of.....

Come on, Germany's best players can't make the NHL minus 5 or 6 compared to 200 canadians

SO EIN TAG SO WUNDERSCHÖN WIE HEUTE, SO EIN TAG DER SOLLTE NIE VERGEHN
SO EIN TAG SO WUNDERSCHÖN WIE HEUTE , SO EIN TAG DER SOLLTE NIE VERGEHN

Legendary Day, thank you Gary Bettman to say no to Olympia.
Since im from German, that Check to the Head was the dirtiest cheapshot in this Tournmant, more then the Knee to knee elbow to the head check from Kovalhuck hours before.

 

[Engebretson]

Umm, Go Germany!

(adding to list of things I did not think I would be saying during these Olympics)

 

[KingBran]

Yeah Germany had Ehroff as a top player
#NHLwashouts

You forgot Marcel Goc!

 

[Faterson]

They don't.

They absolutely do and are notorious (you might even say despised) for that. Might be news to you, but Canadians very much have the reputation for playing dirty hockey (although they claim it's playing "tough"... when they're losing).

 

[FVM]

Unbelievable! Absolutely incredible!

Go get the gold now, Black-Gold-Red Machine!

 

[Dr Pepper]

Congrats, Germany!

 

[BadBlueBolts]

Jaaaaaaaaaaaa
