USA vs GERMANY

[Spectacular_Bid]

So the score was actually 6-3? Dan Fristche with another strong effort. He's going to leaned on heavily me thinks.

Looks like Porter is playing with Fritsche and both had strong nights.

i'm really impressed by germany so far. looks like they are stronger than expected. i still think they will relegate again, but who knows?

I'm thinking the same thing, they tied the czechs. For USA this victory looks promising, because Germany might not be of Belarus's/Swizerland's caliber but a bit better, and they pretty much showed that they're decisivelly better than 5-6 of the teams in the tournament.

somehow it's nice to read that someone praises germany a bit, but i think they are the worst team if it comes to talent. all they can do is work their butts off and i think they will.

Has Thomas Greiss been strong? Few years back Patzold was amazing at the WJC's for Germany...mabey a hot goalie could carry them with this team?

can't say anything about his exhibition performance, but i expect him to have a strong tournament. he's a solid prospect, quite similar to patzold.
