Just gonna start an lazy-ass GDT for the game. As I’m on mobile right now I’m looking for my fellow board members to fill in the gaps like lineups etc 
think it’s going to be a close one

This is Finland’s game to lose which means they will lose.
Aren't you cheering for your Nordic brothers?

If you think of a soccer-match between Finland and Germany and the expected outcome of such a match it is the same with hockey but the other way round.
Having said that, some years ago in qualifications Finland caused serious trouble for Germany which was lucky to get draws when as in hockey Germany has always been a pain in the butt for Finland.
However, 75% likelihood of Finland winning this one.

It’s a win-win to be honest. If you win I will cheer on you against Canada, but if you lose against Germany that will be very very fun.

Stoked for this one, hoping for a hard fought, high paced game. Making it all the way through to the semis is already a big accomplishment for Germany, so I'll just enjoy the game. Wouldn't mind some crazy upset to play Canada in the finals, though.

Normally I'd just pick Finland and move on... however, the 2918 Olympics and this surge from the Germanś makes me think they can get this to OT.
I think itĺl be really close and low scoring.
Word of advice for the Germanś... don t let them score first!!!! Thatś not a fun blackhole to dig yourself out of.

Sorry for being direct/butthurt, but I am so done w Germany picking up medals in tournaments where rosters, for various reasons (such as 2018 Olympics), are not high quality... Go Finland. Not that Latvia did any better this year, but still..

I think this will be a close one too and yeah..................Germany will want to get that first one or the Finns will smother them.
Germany was too happy and emotional after quarterfinal win so somekind of loss of focus or mental lapse will happen... I think Finland wins 4-1

Leggo Germany, once in a decade opportunity. Guess most likely is 2-0 or 2-1 FIN but whatever.
I just hope there won't be a Gogulla style turnover losing us this game that I'll still be traumatic about 11 years later

Lol I remember that, 3-3 in Helsinki I believe with Klose scoring all 3 for us at a time where he couldn't hit the broad side of a barn otherwise and people were saying he was done. Scored another six world cup goals after that.
Gotta be opportunistic
I think this holds much less water this year tho, we're missing three of ourtop five players ourselves.

I hope you win, Finland deserves to get sent to the 2nd division with how they have played this tournament.
