[Charlie Milles*]

Lol Nagy. Slovakia's Wellwood.

Go Germany!

 

[modano]

Pätzold starting goalie in this game

 

[gaborikowns]

hossa, handzus in today

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

My god didn't even know Stumpel, Hossa, and Zednik were still even playing

 

[zorz]

My god didn't even know Stumpel, Hossa, and Zednik were still even playing

Zednik and Satan are not.

 

[Reds4Life]

3:1 Germany!

 

[begbeee]

Germans can beat BIG7 team, but cannt beat them regulary.
Go Slovakia 4-2

 

[cibtom]

3:2 Slovakia..

 

[EHCler]

Go Germany keep up the performance

Germany need to follow up on the win against Russia.

 

[begbeee]

No Endras, no chance.

 

[Snoil11]

No Endras, no chance.

It should be "Pätzold in, no chance". It is still a puzzle, why Krupp clings to him.

 

[flemo]

Germans can beat BIG7 team, but cannt beat them regulary.
Go Slovakia 4-2

Now, in 2011, there is no more BIG7. Look at our results last 5 years.

However, SVK-GER 2:0

 

[Brun0]

2-3 so

 

[joey16]

4:1 Slovakia

 

[Bubba88]

Pätzold starting goalie in this game

Krupp is soooo stupid it's not even funny

Pätzold sucks and like others said No Endras no Win.


Endras will start against Slovenia - This just tells me he doesn't want to win today

 

[Hopetus]

Any news what the lines will be with Hossa and Handzus in? Visnovsky won't play today, right?

My guess is 4-0/1 for Slovakia

 

[flemo]

Visnovsky is not playing in preliminary round.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Slovakia forward lines for this game:
Marián Hossa - Jozef Stümpel - Pavol Demitra
Marián Gáborík - Michal Handzuš - Marcel Hossa
Miroslav Šatan - Tomáš Surový - Richard Zedník
Branko Radivojevič - ĽuboÅ¡ Bartečko - Ladislav Nagy, Å tefan Ružička

They gotta be kidding with Marcel....

Actually, he does want to win, but he thinks he's better of resting Endras for the game we simply have to win. It's just like last year, with Kotschnew and Zepp getting starts, even in the semi-finale.

That being said, I don't think Endras needs a rest, so starting him would definately be the better choice.

 

[Hensta]

2-1 Germany.

 

[Bubba88]

yep, this is the reason why it's a stupid move from Krupp



and Pätzold sucks. Zepp, Reimer or Kotschnew could play and I wouldn't mind it, but Pätzold...

 

[Schalkenullvier*]

Well, the question is how much risk you wanna take. Krupp's priority is to prevent relegation, and therefore he will play endras against slovenia. Thats understandable, although i had Done it differently because we only need a point to advance (have I gotten that right?). It would Be great to have at least 4 point already in the next round.

 

[jbuntman]

Deutschland wins this one by 3 goals...
