I hope Germany can bounce back and give Sweden a good game, though I don't think they have much of a chance to win it.
Germany was in final last year and has almost the same squad.

Sounds like Ersson will start in net.
I read somewhere that Wallstedt is gonna be benched the whole tournament. Weird due to how good he is.

A miracle run doesn't somehow turn Germany into a contender.

And it's worth noting that losing your only elite defender makes quite a difference in terms of roster quality.

Germany does have the odd game in them where they can compete with or even best a contender, and sometimes it can even lead to a little run far into the tournament, like last year, or at the 2018 Olympics, But overall, the likelyhood of Germany actually beating a team like Sweden ist still rather low.

Jukka Jalonen should be in all the hall of fames.

Inb4 Ra counters with ”Germany beat Slovakia and Slovakia beat USA..”

Carlos Coliacovo doing his darndest to try move up in the TSN lineup, alas, I think it's an uphill battle for him.

He cuts a dashing figure though.
