GDT: Slovakia vs Germany

[Antiillafire]

Lunter is completely useless

 

[jj cale]

oooh, whoever the slovak d-man was he almost pulled off a bobby orr spinarama goal starting at the point.

Was hoping he could complete the deal, would have been a beauty goal.

Slovakia has definitely controlled the game early.

Their forecheck has caused the Germans some problems.

They’re also very quick to pressure after entering the blueline. Germany doesn’t seem to know what to do.

Slafkovsky just got rocked

 

[Eye of Ra]

seider have been awful

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Bad penalty by Nemec there.

 

[jj cale]

The slovaks keep playing like this good things are bound to happen.

Wow, Nemec.................bad. Stupid, they are playing so well and you do that to your team?

 

[Antiillafire]

Great PK there.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Stützle can be a frustrating player to watch.

SHOOT THE PUCK.

Gord Miller nearly called the tournament "the World Juniors" before the commercial break....

 

[jj cale]

The amplified tone in the german announcers voice was palpable on that power play, they weren't happy.

Happens to the best

If the Germans are still playing the power play, they have to stop sending cross passes, it is very difficult and if the player who sends this pass does not have the necessary skill, it is counterproductive. There is a risk of losing not only the band when the puck is caught by the opponent but also the break, because the game suddenly turns and the attacker is always in advantage after winning the puck, because he goes towards the opponent's goal and does not have to turn.

Söderholm should also have a different plan for the pass, because if the German had a puck on the hockey stick, the Slovaks cleverly occupied all the players for the pass and forced them to play a long pass on the red line. Seider dares to go out with the puck and get rid of the attacking opponent, but not all defenders will try. In this they just have to change their game because they will have trouble getting into the offensive zone.

Nemec means "german" in slovak, so maybe a little help?

 

[jj cale]

As a neutral fan I can just sit back and enjoy the game and that was a very entertaining 1st period. This is going to be a real good game.

 

[Antiillafire]

I have really liked 4th line today. Minarik and Liska in particular. Still would like to have Sykora over Lunter, to add skating ability.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Nice move by Plachta and the captian Moritz Muller puts it home. 1-0 Germany.

Edit: Actually Plachta’s goal, 2nd of the tournament.

 

[jj cale]

Some suspect defense there but still a nice goal.

Germans draw first blood.

 

[vlady]

Nemec did not look good on that German goal

He kinda got picked by the German player, but yeah not great.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Stützle with a dominant shift, almost resulting in a goal.
