i don't think it's so hard to play 2 games in 2 days. but team germany isn't willing to fight today. they look like figure skaters.
and austria were tired yesterday? ehm...not really. it's just that if you take out vanek, there's not enough left to play top10 hockey, although i like what austria did the last years and there are some nice guys. but it's too early for austria, in a few years it should be different.

Is Ullmann playing today?

Don't forget Kalt, he should come back to the DEL, he's a great player!

i hope that... but we have the wrong coach... pock is an idiot... noone likes him..

like i said, some nice players. but kalt isn't a top guy either. and yes, i'd like to see him back in the DEL.

Agreed, he is a good player when playing on top of his game. However, his season is Sweden was terrible. There are some loose rumours he'll sign with another SEL team but I wouldn't be surprised if he moves to the DEL or NLA.

 

[zecke26]

i hope that... but we have the wrong coach... pock is an idiot... noone likes him..

can't say something about him, cause i never noticed him before, but from what i heard the last days, he seems not to be a good coach.

but i'm no fan of hans zach either.

 

[The Austrian]

trade rumors in austria say, that he allready singed a contract in vienna...

 

[zecke26]

Is Ullmann playing today?

haven't noticed him so far, but iihf.com says he's playing with kathan and ustorf.

 

[The Austrian]

4:0 canada - scott niedermayr. 3 PP Canada - 3 Goals....

pass from behind the goal ( gretzky like ) and niedermayr beats kolzig from 3 meters over the stick hand...

The one problem i have with Zach is that he feels Kunce can handle some of the worlds top players. Kunce seems to lose his mind playing Canada and take many penalties. Why Zach does him the disservice of playing against Heatley i have no idea.

 

[canucksfan]

Canada is playing much better today. Heatley's goal was awesome.

 

[zecke26]

wouldn't it be time to pull kolzig and bring in whoever is backup (i guess mueller)? not that the goals were his fault, altho he should have saved at least two, but he should be sick of the defense by now and this is not the best thing when you want to prevent goals.

boy, why can't they stay out of the box?

i totally agree. kunce shouldn't be on that team. he interfered kolzig on goal 1, maybe olie would have saved it otherwise.

 

[zecke26]

wow, goal germany, andi renz. time to fight and try to make the loss a bit more pleasant.

 

[lUkAz]

4-1 Hecht scores... =)

 

[The Austrian]

Who made he pass?

brendan morrison


goal for germany. jochen hecht through the legs of gigi. shoot by renz and hecht touched the puck right in front of gigi

 

[zecke26]

what a chance by kreutzer, he should have made it. a 2nd goal would be nice. they seem to play better now.

 

[zecke26]

DEFENSE???

and kolzig looks shaky. pull him, zach!!!

 

[The Austrian]

5:1 Rob Niedermayr !! like the 4:0 ... pass from smith, niedermayr is nearly alone and sinks the puck right under kolzig in the net.. when will kolzig leave the goal ??

 

[EHCler]

horrible defensive play by Germany, like freeking youth team. If Canada would push up another gear they would score 10 goals plus. Our goal difference is really gonna stink after this game which means we need to beat the Swiss. If we play like today no chance of doing that.
By far Germanys worst game of the tournament.

 

[SwisshockeyAcademy]

Agreed this is a woeful performance from the Germans. Love Benda and he's been good but i think Ehrhoff, Seidenberg and Schubert will give the team a more mobile and better puck moving effort in September. Leask, Retzer, Kunce will be fighting for a spot or two. Not sure about Molling and i'm fine with Ludemann. Will Zach change to a more up tempo game with more talent at his disposal?

luedemann is ok, retzer is doing what he can, but leask, kunce and especially molling should be out. i'd choose goldmann over those three. molling is by far the worst player i've seen for a long time. he's clutching and grabbing just not to fall on his butt, he simply can't skate.

6:1 Scott Niedermayr - Slapshot over the Stick Hand - Kolzig Drinkingbottle flips on the Ice...
