It always amazes me :

One of the greatest curses / signs of trouble in a tournament like this: When you have NOT lost a game before the playoffs.

 

[EHCler]

I still stunnes. That Tiffels decided the game is the chemistry and spirit of the team.
After his season in the DEL he actually should not have been on the team (based on league performance)

 

[SantosHalper]

WOOOOO!!! Let's go Germany, i got 6 bottles of Perlenbacher for tomorrow. I bought those thursday, who knew they come this important.

Even with AHL, NCAA, and less NHLers on the team, USA still can't seem to get over the hump of trying to win the semifinals at the WHC. 11 losses in a row now. I wonder what will it take to get that monkey of that back.

Congratulations to Germany beating the top two teams Switzerland and USA in the tournament advance to the Gold Medal Game against Canada. Look forward to seeing the Germans medal for the first time in 70 years at the Worlds.

 

[ORRFForever]

i still can’t believe it - this is the most exited I have been after a German game since we beat Canada at the Olympics in 2018.

I knew there was a chance at a medal, but I was talking about Bronze, this is unbelievable.

Noebels and Tiffels won’t ever have to buy drinks if I’m around.

You can't lose tomorrow - either way, you are a winner.

WC is higher level than people think. USA needs their stars to reach finals.

Nice to see "new" countries making things competitive in IIHF hockey. Gratz to Germany!!

Lets go.

But Perlenbacher? That is not good beer.
If you like it go ahead but overall its really bad.

Anyway. woop woop.

We've sent some pretty strong teams in the past (2013, 2018, 2019 for starters) and even they couldn't reach a final.

I have 6 bottles of Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi ready for tomorrow.

Unless "Perlenbacher" means "Caffeine Free Diet Pepsi" in German?

I'll have to ask Google.

Agree. The rest of the world is catching up.

I did not think it would be an all N.A. final. I did not know who would fall but I figured one of the two would.

good old LIDL brew, just drinking one

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Germany! Great job. Sorry US.

I couldn't lose today, would've been happy for both.

Reinheitsgebot beer is all the same

This just wouldn’t be a thread about Germany without a debate on beer. =)

I usually buy beer from Czechia but on thursday i went to Lidl, and i had sudden urge to buy German beer. My subconscious must have knew this was going to happen. Perlenbacher is decent and i like it because it's in bottles. The flavor stays better.

But as long as it's German beer for tomorrow. Lets Goooooooo

I know. It’s fantastic.

Great to win, but after the Bundesligafinale this afternoon no one will take notice, maybe a minute in the news or Sportstudio, then back to soccer like always.

Yes, amazing how Dortmund choked and threw it away.

 

[ZDH]
