GDT: Quarterfinal - May 18 - Canada (2) vs Germany (1)

[jj cale]

What an amazing shift there by Canada.

 

[Zybalto]

Men and boys the last 2 min.

 

[leaflover]

Now that's how you close out a 1 goal game.

 

[Soedy]

Yep. was holding there at the end in my opinion, though.

 

[Latgale_fan]

But Canadians have been so great at supressing Germans from rushing into attack with full force so far. Yeah, they are something different. Most other teams, even good ones, would have probably gone on defense mode...
Even with the 1 goal Germany scored, they were not given any half decent chance to tie the game up, even if momentum was on their side for a bit

 

[Neinri]

I like when the refs let the game flow in the final minutes.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Does Parayko ever get a break and get to come off ice?haha

I swear he is on the ice every single time i look

Norris candidate within 2 years

 

[jj cale]

A lopsided 2-1 win.

Onto the semis.

 

[Porkleaker]

Kill the russians!

 

[Privet]

Good effort from the Germans, but probably would be 10-0 without Grubauer.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

put up a good figth. I take it as a win

 

[leaflover]

Good effort by Germany. Grubauer was fantastic.

The next one will be a beauty too.

 

[Vipers31]

I don't think I need to mention that it was well-deserved.

Honorable showing from our guys with a more than respectable (if obviously flattering) result. Good tournament, overall.

 

[Soedy]

I like when the refs let the game flow in the final minutes.

Me too, but this was too clear.

Great game anyway, very happy with the result!

 

[karlstegger]

A mix of good goaltending and poor finishing kept it close. Should have been over by the end of second period.

Looking forward to the semi.

 

[Canuckistani]

Reminds me of Canada-Latvia in Sochi.

A horribly one-sided 2-1 game.

 

[Jesenice22*]

This game was not nearly as close as the final score.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Not sure what you expect when he had full shift on PK in his legs?

i meant the whole game

and his entire nhl career

 

[Zaar]

Germany fought well but Canada simply was (way) better. The result doesn't reflect the game, but man, that was exciting.

Grubi man of the game for me on the german side.

 

[Reindl87]

Okay let' be honest normaly a game like this one Ends 7-0.
The game showed brutaly how unskilled German Players are.
The Problem is: The game Ends only 1:2 and the media makes it look like this was an amazing Performance by the Team. For the future of hocky a honest 7-o would have been better. There reallys need to be a Major shift in our development programms as well as in the DEL.

 

[Porkleaker]

Ahh good, at least Draisaitl gets a participation ribbon

No one else even close.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Reminds me of Canada-Latvia in Sochi.

A horribly one-sided 2-1 game.

That Weber bomb to win the game is one of my favorite Olympics moments for Team Canada. It was in the net before the goalie even started tracking the puck.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

Solid goaltending with Greiss and Gruby
Some promising young players
Quarters last year
Quarters this year
Conclusion: It's going in the rigth direction. Slowly. Very slowly. Like a slug or the continental drift^^
