WC: Team Germany 2019

[kalle wirsch]

Söderholm made some questionable decisions (Sezemsky Bokk Endras Bergmann scratched yesterday),but hey
four wins and the quarterfinal is looming .

 

[ebergeist]

Seider is "okay" after the dirty hit by Nagy.

 

[SoundAndFury]

I will give him huge thumbs up about Endras decision. You don't need a veteran goalie who has just won the finals as a third goalie, he deserves some rest. Or a more important role. But with Niederberger playing the way he is Endras really doesn't warrant a bigger role. To me personally, since I didn't know him before, Niederberger has been one of the most pleasant surprises of this WC.

Bokk, on the other hand, should have been on the team but this is fine, he can just calmly prepare for the next season. At this level, he isn't some game-breaking force yet.

Germany's first team since 89 years to start a WC with 4 wins.
The more useless stats you know!

Out of German teams, that is. Russia won all seven preliminary round games and three elimination round games in regulation in 2012 and 2014 and Canada did the same in 2015.

And Finland 16 till final!

 

[Partagas]

Switzerland 9 straight win until the ginal in 2013, lost in final by Sweden.

 

[ebergeist]

1.39 million viewers in germany watched the game against slovaks. This is a new viewer record in german ice hockey.

 

[kalle wirsch]

The olympic final had 3,19 million viewers.The record is maybe for sport1.

Yes I think it didn‘t include the olympics, only wc tournaments.

 

[Albatros]

WM 2010 the highest rating was 2,49 million I think.

Ah ok, then I stand corrected.

Curious how big attendance there would be if Hockey was broadcasted on public channel like ZDF or so.

Wow, that's really hard to believe but great news.

 

[ebergeist]

Any word on Grubauer? Seider?

Seider will at least miss out on the next two games because of a concussion.

Grubauer is not ruled out yet, I think, but unlikely. Söderholm said he does not want to take any risks with him.

 

[filip85]

Will Grubauer be ready for games against Finland, USA and eventually quarters ?

 

[Retroglyphs]

Seider will at least miss out on the next two games because of a concussion.

real bad news for us... we need miracles on defense.

[Albatros]

Was not a budgeted win anyway, although stealing one of the remaining two would help in avoiding Russia.

I hope that the team bounces back for the usa game. I hope Schopper does not play tomorrow.

 

[geisterpanthers]

Really like this team, young fast players. Only few black holes like Schopper. He is on warm body on bad DEL team level.

 

[Edenjung]

We really play good.
A bit more luck and we can lead this again.
