GDT: WJC: Germany - Sweden

[Juxtaposer]

I’d like to see Carlsson make his passes a little softer for his shooters. He’s lasered a number of passes that were great ideas but just a little too hard for the shooter to get his stick on.

 

[Janvonpobben]

What is wrong with the refs????

 

[theslatcher]

I thought that was to Rosen?

In that comment I'm talking about the instant flip pass to Lysell who came streaking down on the wing, Carlsson then headed off for a change.

Can see Quapp in the Carolina system in a few years time

In the fine tradition of refreshing who these kids have been drafted by, when I saw the Canes logo I (again) was like "of course". There was also some profanity sprinkled in.

Ah, that was a nice play. Carlsson's had a number of them today, for sure.

SVT, WTF? Worst canal shift ever

 

[cmcneil02]

Germany gotta kill this one off.

 

[Chainshot]

Quapp continues to impress me.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

With the goaltenders wearing such big equipment Penalty shots are rarely scored what a sham

Fr. I missed the penalty shot because of it.

 

[Chainshot]

One pass too many.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

Swedes need to practice PP I think.

 

[Chainshot]

One pass too many 2.0.

 

[Daeni10]

Swedes need to practice PP I think.

Both special teams could use some work

 

[Brunkmeister]

Seriously only one goal on like 33 shots or something. That is not acceptable.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

We’re holding onto it.

That 5on3 kill was HUGE

Both NHL drafted players for Germany showing that they were drafted for a reason.

Lutz has looked great and dangerous and Quapp so far has been a wall. Great to see.

 

[cmcneil02]

Crowd with a loud applause as Germany kills off a 5-on-3 and keeps it a 1-0 hockey game against Sweden.

And I must say my lord Isak Rosen looks good, future NHL’er for sure.

Can Germany come back and pull an upset!? Fingers crossed baby come on.

(Im in the building by the way)

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Obviously not but it's a very good D core. Jiricek and Svozil would make any team in this tourney IMO. Spacek and Hamara would have shots too as outsiders.

Czechs simply aren't used to good D cores at this tourney... I'm so used to seeing future NHL goalies like Vladar, Vanecek, Vejmleka, Dostal and Mrazek getting absolutely lit up on tic tac toe passes and some elite Swede or Canuck just tapping it in. That didn't happen once last night and that is so rare to see.

The nice thing is that next year's D core should be pretty good too! And 2 years from now, no joke, we'll have Svozil and Jiricek again! Along with another Galvas who is trending beautifully. Add in Dvoark and Koci and we may have a better D core in 2 years.

Next year should see Alscher and Hamara playing big minutes which isn't a bad start at all.

Svozil and Jiricek won't be eligible next year they are 2003 players

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Seems like Germany is just missing that touch of elite skill to make a difference in games against the top teams. Still well structured with a lot of fight in them though.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Germany really putting their hearts into the game. That Swedish 2men PP was well defended, but at the same time, the Swedes were playing it poorly. There was zero moment of surprise.

 

[Abraham de Lacy]

The Swedes don't want get in close and instead seems content on shooting from way out. They're playing too cute with the puck. Germany could very well take this.

 

[Czechboy]

Svozil and Jiricek won't be eligible next year they are 2003 players

I said 2 years from now...

Stan has a brother named David Svozil who is very good
David has a brother named Adam Jiricek who might be better
Jakub Galvas (Hawks) has a brother named Tomas Galvas who might better than all of them.

No joke.

 

[cmcneil02]

Germany really wishes they had a Moritz Seider and a Tim Stutzle type players with them right now lol

No joke.

Tomáš Galvas is a terrific prospect. He is of course very young, so hard to predict anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is a top NHL defenseman in 4-5 years.

To be fair I think all nations wish they had Seider and Stutzle type players with them lmao
