GDT: WJC - Finland vs Germany, Dec 27, 2023

[JJTT]

Hire one of the worst coaches ever and his sauna buddies, this is what you get.

 

[vlady]

wow, congrats Germany! This'll make things interesting

 

[MM917]

Big win for Germany, congrats to them.

 

[MOGlLNY]

The Germans swearing in English to celebrate is hilarious

 

[Bedards Dad]

Happy for the Germans, great game by their boys.

It's the universal hockey language.

"F*&!in' A boys!"

 

[Luolis]

Finland had one good line in the entire game and Mikkola in his infinite wisdom benches them for the last 10. Fire this guy now please.

 

[JoVel]

So Finland will most likely play USA in the quarter finals after that result, a short tournament for them again.

Unless they lose to Latvia and finish last in their group.

 

[GKJ]

Well, if you want to be a serious hockey nation, you gotta beat the ones who actually are.

Enjoy it boys! Keep going hard and gain more and more confidence. What a good story.

 

[ORRFForever]

Some tournaments you just don't have it and nothing comes together, I remember that monstrosity in 98 for Canada where we even lost to the Kazaks, it was just a real bad team, it happens, wouldn't read too much into it going forward if I were a Finnish fan.

Good game Germany, congrats

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Likely leads to whoever finishes 1st in the other group getting Finland in the QF.

 

[kudla]

Congrats Germany

Ok not gonna lie this was the “pls take a quick 2-0 lead so I can get some sleep” game on the schedule for me, but as soon as it started I had this feeling it would be different. And over time I felt that the German defense was too weak to withstand it for a full 60 mins, but wow they really did it. I had them being relegated in my bracket. I have no idea who will be relegated now (people will say Latvia but imo they were at their absolute worst yesterday and had a great pre-tournament and have a solid roster)

Don’t worry, Finland will get another crack at it next year.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Golf clap to the young Germans

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Germany... beating Finland at this level is damn impressive! Your goalie was awesome in the end!

Somewhere, Namejs is getting nervous.

In B division

 

[novisor]

Great game. This is what makes this tournament so great. Finland 0-2 still having Sweden on their schedule is tough.

 

[Jaska]

How did we end up with this coach?

 

[NyQuil]

In B division

 

[MeHateHe]

Nothing better than reading GDTs long after the game is over.

 

[Mathieukferland]

Is Finland going to fire another coach mid-tournament again?

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Is Finland going to fire another coach mid-tournament again?

Well, it worked last time.. any chance Ahokas would happen to be in Prague on a booze up?
