[Buffaloed]

Jochen suffered a knee injury (Grade 1 MCL Sprain) in tonight's game vs Montreal. Lindy Ruff stated in his post-game press conference he's expected to be out for 2 weeks.

Oh dear.

There goes Germany's chances for a medal.

Oh dear.

We wouldn't have had a chance for a medal with him anyways. Our goal at the Olympics is the 4th place in our group, but that is tough to reach now since Germany's weakness has always been the offense.

 

[Corto]

Blah.

There goes my favourite Sabre.

And Germany's best forward (ya, he's better than Sturm ).

No , Sturm stirs the German drink with his hustle and drive. Having said that Hecht is #3 on the list of players they cannot due without. Kolzig being #1 in total importance. That will probably drive some of the German fans crazy but Kolzig is tough to beat when in form like he has been this year.I am just disgusted that hecht has been hurt so close to the games. He may get back for the medal round perhaps?

****ING SHIIIIIIIT !!!!!!!!!

**** **** **** ****

..... and again another ****ing player is injured ... and this one ****ing day before the tournament starts

i am sick of that goddamn gameplan. the nhl is still playing 2 more days if i'm right and then of course hecht gotta get injured

I COULD PUKE !!!!! **** !!!!!

the tournament has lost many of its biggest names

 

[JVR]

I knew it. Why can't we have all our few NHLers healthy for an important tournament for once.

Nooooooooo

Blah.

No he isn't, but it hurts anyway a lot to miss Hecht. It's really unbelievable that always is at least one nhler injured when a big tournament starts.
Will be tough to replace him, but the tournament is not over for us, only because Hecht is injured!

 

[Sanderson]

Hecht was better than Sturm in the last few seasons, this year it's a bit different.

Sturm is more important for the national team, though. He always seems to thrive when playing for Germany, you don't notice Hecht in the same way.

 

[Force]

Hecht is gemany's most talented player without a shadow of a doubt.
Sturm is solid and sucessful, provides leadership and its the total package which makes him our "best" man.

But Hecht can do magic things. He is the better player if you base that on skills and creativity. With him, we had a medal cance indeed.

 

[Riggins]

With him, we had a medal cance indeed.

A big negative on that one.

 

[Force]

you do know the meaning of the word "chance", do you?

there is a CHANCE Canada will not reach the quarterfinal.

And "a medal" is aka "the bronze".

 

[Golden Slumbers]

Having German heritage, I'm always interested in the success of their national sports teams.

Losing Hecht is definitely a big deal, considering they hardly have a full lineup of NHL players, but all is not lost. Since nobody really expects them to do anything, they can still pull out a surprise.

I'm predicting one big upset win, at least.

 

[Twist and Shout]

Here's a prediction. Marcel Goc will have a game-winning goal in one of the games.
