I don't think the American team was thought to have much of a chance this tournament, but upsetting Sweden and then Canada is unreal.
Russia looks just about unbeatable, but could you imagine Germany pulling off hat trick of upsets??

I called it before the tournament started 
Germany has been on this path for the past 5-7 years, so this does not come as a surprise. They basically have the same vibe and circumstances as Finland had leading up to the 1995 World Championship.

I have a feeling this will be like the Swiss team at the 2013 Worlds where they somehow make the final, only to get their asses handed to them by the opponent. In fact I hope this is how it will go -- I value my weekend sleep and I really do not want to bite my fingernails at like 6 am on a Sunday morning haha. Silver's good enough, let's just get this over with now okay

They just need to score first like they did against Canada and Sweden.
Not really in the sense that Finland had the best roster in the tournament, just no winning culture.

Agree. I've been saying this for a number of years. One of the lesser teams is going to medal or win a world championship because they have most of their roster intact while other teams don't. I didn't think it would be Germany, I thought that the Swiss would do it first.

Every time someone says this I will imagine that it is 1941.

Do you have any idea how hard it is not to make WWII jokes when watching Germany? Especially when they have a guy named Krupp on the team!

The real fun is going to be in the dressing rooms across the NHL of the teams that have the 7 German players.
There's going to be some tasty smack talk for awhile.

The pure joy shown by the Germans after that game was something to behold. Seeing Wolf almost break down in tears - wow.
GO GERMANY. Seriously I just dont want to see Russia win. I feel like most of the worlds hockey fans are with me on this.

It will be harder to contain on Saturday when they play the Soviets.

Russia looks really good. They got 3 past a really, really good Czech net last night while shutting them out.
