Olympics: Game Thread - Canada vs Germany

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

German announcers be like "oh yeah well half high stick side, that's a nigthmare to stop for any goalie!"

 

[Edenjung]

That Muller guy just stepped away from the shot on the Noreau goal. You can't blame the goalie.

Exactly. I am not blaming niederberger at all.
he tries. The rest of the guys is a bunch of useless, uninspired losers.
No idea on what to do. and how to do it.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

I didn't expect anything like 2018 but this german team gives me some serious 2000's vibes. Yikes.

 

[Edenjung]

Canada plays like its on the powerplay.

We play so bad and allow that.
just go home guys. and stop pretending that you can play hockey.

 

[bert]

Canada has a rather weak roster, underestimates Germany and generally doesn't care for this tournament.

3-1 Germany. Let's goo!

Lol great call!

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Lol great call!

right?

Ehliz is our best player and that's not good enough.

So, for the few German fans in the thread, what happened to the 2018 team? Aren't most of these returnees?

Well, I underestimated the four years aging. Pretty much 90% the roster of 2018. They sorely miss Ehrhoff's leadership and play.

And they miss the fans imo. German teams always gain energy from the crowd.

I don't know.
I try to understand, but i simply don't get whats happening.

Last world Cup we played good. Like really good.
But this display? I am just baffled, angry and sad to see it.

Its like a cat that has to be put down, because she is hurting so much but cannot die already.

I don't know if my stomach can take another period.
I don't want to get an ulcer.

It's game 1, Canada is a gold contender and the Germans will get stronger as it goes along. Last time Slovakia beat Russia on day 1.

Germans are just having a rough start against a very good Canada squad.

Also, for the Canucks, your coach is coming back! Julien is in next game. So now there are 2 nations that love their coach and 10 that are cranky.

Your words in god's ear.

What's the rink size? NHL or 60x30

Seems like NHL

Yeah, it's an 85' width.

Canada has a much better roster than 2018.

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Canada has a much better roster than 2018.

yes, I acknowledged that already, thx bert

 

[Hanji]

Canada has a much better roster than 2018.

But Russia's roster in 2018 was waaay better than this Canadian team, yet Germany took them to overtime.

 

[bert]

We'll see.

 

[Hanji]

We'll see.

What's there to see?

Russia's 2018 roster is considerably better than this team Canada's. It's no different than you saying this Canadian roster is stronger than the 2018 version. Both are fact.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Very underwhelming performance by Germany. They are capable of doing much better.

 

[Edenjung]

Canada looks like they play on the Powerplay the whole time.
And germany looks like they are on the PK.
Even though its 5 on 5.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Well the Germans might be an eingeschworener Haufen (sworn in lot/pile) as the announcers say, but in the end a pile is a pile^^

 

[Edenjung]

yep. a pile of losers.

 

[Edenjung]

Please Canada win against the US in your next game. That would be nice.

 

[colonia]

It's game 1, Canada is a gold contender

Yeah, that's the problem. Germans thought they're gold contenders as well going into this match. Hopefully they learn from this manhandling.

 

[Nico13]

Germany is garbage.

They won't repeat 2018 silver for sure.

 

[Channelcat]

Canada looks better than most of their past "NHL" teams. Game 1, mind you.
