GDT: Quarter Final | Russia Vs Germany | 1/2 @ 10 AM | TSN/NHL

[ViD]

So far this team Russia is about as bad as team Russia that was coached by Plyuschev in 2010 that lost to the Swiss.

That’s bullshit. They are great defensively

 

[Bileur]

It’s really too bad Germany was so decimated by covid and that Seider was held out.

Would have been interesting to see where they would have gotten with their number one goalie.

Adding Reichel and Seider to that PP would have been massive too.

This team has advanced to the semis, so they are already better.

 

[Canucks LB]

Germans deserved more from this than 1-2 defeat.
This Russia team will not get through next round.
- last 2 periods, Germany was better

What in the world were you watching.
Germany played really well, But Russia Controlled that game from start to near finish.

Fantastic game, Wish we could see more of Germany with a full roster.

 

[Czechboy]

Czech is a lock at #6 year in and year out.

These German's are going to have a say about that going forward...

 

[Oilslick941611]

Russia hasn't looked impressive in this touranment. Germany held them well.

 

[Daeni10]

I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

The thing is Germany still only has 25.000 active hockey players, this number needs to grow if we want to compete year in year out. Rinks are still rare and it's pretty hard to get into hockey in most regions

 

[Ghetty Green]

0 points for Stutzle in the most important game

Raises some concern for sure

 

[GKJ]

Well done by Germany. They represented themselves, their program, and their country extremely well.

 

[ViD]

Russia hasn't looked impressive in this touranment. Germany held them well.

Russia looked good against Canada, USA and Sweden. That’s all that matters

 

[Firsov99]

Good game.
Germany had their chances.
Russia on to the semis. Does anyone know who they will play???

It depends on who else moves on. There is no bracket, and the remaining teams are reseeded after the quarters.

 

[Lambo]

It s "criminal" that Elias wans t drafted. NHL-Teams must him on note.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

They dominated puck possession but a lot of parameter shots.

Not really.

Not at all, they moved on. Russians are now guaranteed to play for a medal, which shocks no one. They are the most consistent team when it comes to medaling year in and year out.

It’s a very competitive hockey tournament and they got a competitive game. This isn’t really shocking.

Germans played well and gave their all as they are expected to. You better play with damn pride and vigour when you represent your country.

Russia was the better team and moved on as expected.

 

[c9gunner]

by the way - I have no complains about refereeing in this tournament.

 

[Passionis]

Is it just me or is TSN coverage of team Russia really bitter? Any mistake the Russians make gets special bashing, like they are eager and happy to point out how badly the Russian player has done

Thanks! There used to be brackets, no? or has it been always like this ?

 

[VVP]

That’s bullshit. They are great defensively

This is team Germany, not world beaters. They easily could have scored several more goals. Canada could probably score 4 or 5 on this defense.

It's ok. They have lots of bitter memories.

 

[Smif]

Future of German hockey looks bright. Faced a ton of adversity and still came out with an impressive tournament

Not too sure it looks any better than normal. Looks like every 5-6 years they produce a potential allstar with a few relegation years inbetween. It would be nice if they solidified themselves in the top 8.

 

[NyQuil]

All that matters is winning.

It doesn't have to be pretty.

 

[Firsov99]

Thanks! There used to be brackets, no? or has it been always like this ?

No problem. Yes, there used to be playoffs brackets, but it has changed recently, I think.

Edit: 2021 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships - Wikipedia
I think it's pretty safe to assume that Canada and USA move on. If Finland wins then we'll have Canada vs Russia and USA vs Finland semis. If Sweden wins, in turn, then we'll have Canada vs Sweden and USA vs Russia.

I thought no one cared what Canadians thought.
