I sort of expect the US team to lose to one of them, but since those teams will also lose points to each other, I still believe USA will finish 3rd or 4th in the group.

I doubt it. Long flight, first possible game on thursday vs. Canada. And let's be realistic, this team will receive a beating from CAN, no matter if Greiss is in goal or not.

Great way to get into a tournament, playing Canada... 
It might actually be better to let Pielmeier play that game and have Greiss start against Belarus on the next day, as that game is the one that matters. On the other hand, if one of our goalies can deal with that offense it is Greiss in the form he showed during the playoffs.

Canada may very well win this game Tomorrow, but it’s never a blowout against Germany, it’s always a close game.
Can’t wait!
Yes, that was what I was about to mention. Canada absolutely destroyed Germany last year (0-10) and with the way they are playing so far, they will likely do the same thing again.
That doesn't change that the German defense is suspect at best, even against average teams, and that Canada is currently blowing everyone out of the water. They even scored 5 against the USA. It might not end up as bad as last year, but anything but a blowout would still be a huge surprise.

ya, I forgot about that one. At least it was closer Today.
As much as I love our Canada jersey’s, I find the German jerseys just absolutely beautiful!
Good luck in the rest of the tourney

They have enough skill and toughness to pull off an upset in the QF.
Germany should finish 4th and play the Czechs in the QF. They actually have the type of team that could pull off an upset against the Czechs.
The Czechs don't have the same type of speed throughout all 4 lines that Russia and Canada do. If the Germans can keep up and play with a heavy forecheck and cycle game they could slow the game down and possibly pull off an upset.
Highly underrated team. They have some good players. It looks like Drai is starting to find his groove.
Rieder ist out for the tournament, partial tear of the MCL, will miss 4-6 weeks
edit: just saw that it had already been mentioned. anyway, I've added the diagnosis

You are right but we will jump on them right from the get go like if they were Canada or Russia, I am sure there will be 0 underestimation from our side. None.
We are aware of their power. Oh, btw huge loss for Germany with Rieder...
For our (very underrated) team it will be tremendous chance to go to semi-final and play for medals. They will make sure they are 100%. But obviously, we need to finish the group with Denmark and Switzerland on a winning streak. And Germany has still some work to do, too. I really don't think that Slovakia will get points from games against CAN/FIN/USA.

The Czechs will, or should win against Germany. They are much better than the Germans, it's just the Germans matchup better with the Czechs than they do Canada or Russia.
Yup, Rieder is a massive loss for the Germans. They still have Drai though, Drai will be 1-2 with McDavid at Centre for a very long time in Edmonton.
The Czech team has looked very solid this tournament. If we both finish first in our groups the only way we meet is for Gold

Some DEL guys was stronger in this WC as Drai. Its not important for this tournament what he will do for Edmonton in the future
Anyway i hope Drai has his best game in front of him, when we need him most. In the game against the Czechs, but he cant win games alone.
Rieder is indeed a big loss. The Kahun line with Reimer and Rieder was the best against Slovakia.

Drai is really good. He could take over a game and help the Germans beat the Czechs.
