GDT: GER vs. LAT May 15, 2024

[Edenjung]

They will be told to stop scoring? That doesn't happen.
Good etiquette is to stop celebrating goals not to stop scoring.

Well if I remember it right, the german football national team was told during the intermission of the famous semi-final against brazil, to not score as much as before. ^^

 

[SoundAndFury]

Maybe Latvia and Poland truly doesn't belong to this level, just like that guy in the Polish thread said

 

[Edenjung]

Peterka showing his skill.
Love it

@SoundAndFury
Loved Latvia last year. They played so well.
But so did germany.

 

[aquaregia]

Just tuned in and well, it wouldn't be a Latvia game at these championships without an own goal now, would it?

I don't now nothing about BRA71L, but that's how it is... you just stop celebrating goals. Pat your linesmen on the back and go on.

@LKI
I am aware, but at some point you give the 3rd and 4th line most of the ice time if you are so far ahead. And then the scoring slowes down.
But This feels like the infamous SJ games that we saw this season in the NHL

Not if we play like this against direct competitors we dont. Latvian hockey federation will have to make some tough decisions about the coaching staff after the tournament. If it was up to me, id put Ābols as head coach, but he got fired appearently because of some beef with Vītoliņš. Stupid f***ing decision.

 

[weklof]

Just got home from work an turned on the TV and saw the score. What the heck happened here?

 

[Weltschmerz]

can't remember germany scoring that many goals

If your talking about me, I said Poland and Great Britain

That is true... besides that 3rd and 4th liners want to score aswell.

 

[Edenjung]

Well the defense is still not very good.

 

[Nexon]

Perhaps beginning of even more epic comeback than yesterday?

 

[LKI]

Btw that was fairly clear 5+20 for the kneeing right ?

 

[legionista]

This game is finished, gonna start watching Czech - Denmark game, much tighter game.

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Not sure if this lineup I found is confirmed, but we may see Germany play like this.

Lukas Reichel – Wojciech Stachowiak – JJ Peterka
Frederik Tiffels – Nico Sturm – Dominik Kahun
Leo Pföderl – Marc Michaelis – Yasin Ehliz
Parker Tuomie – Maximilian Kastner – Alexander Ehl

Jonas Müller – Kai Wissmann
Maksymilian Szuber – Moritz Müller
Fabian Wagner – Lukas Kälble
Colin Ugbekile – Tobias Fohrler

Philipp Grubauer
Mathias Niederberger

Two Polish born players. Poland could use them both, please, thanks.

IIHF eligibility rules suck

First return Murray to USA :

 

[weklof]

I guess Germany has more or less secured a QF spot now, despite clear loses to USA and Sweden. Beat both Slovakia and Latvia, their closest competitors, only need to take care of buisness against KAZ, POL and FRA now. Can probably even afford to lose some points in those games

 

[Fight4yourRight]

First return Murray to USA :

Based on his two starts so far, yes please.

 

[legionista]

First return Murray to USA :

No problem, but doubt anyone in the US would care.

 

[Maverick41]

Two Polish born players. Poland could use them both, please, thanks.

Nah, we would really like to keep them, sorry.

But maybe Poland can convince one or more of these guys:
Jakub Borzecki, Macjei Rutkowski, Arkadiusz Dziambor or Rayan Bettahar.

 

[LKI]

Nice goal by Tralmaks... 2023 style.

 

[Edenjung]

clearly offside

 

[LucaBrasil]

can't remember germany scoring that many goals
