I remember those games, I know some people are still remembering those games as THE moment for the Finnish team but I never thought of it as a 'proper' win. Sweden played really badly in the final, and there just wasn't much interest from the other big teams for that particular tournament. Finland had an ok team but it just didn't feel like a big victory.

1988 in Calgary felt like a lot bigger victory though, beating the Soviets in the final game and edging in front of Sweden to second place, Soviets took gold.

Edit. Congratz to the Germans for victory in their opening game, rare thing for them to beat USA.

Wow... that was a good game. I´m just back from the TV and still excited. :woot: Hope we can do the trick again... be prepared finland :D

We won? (Germany)....:woot:
What was the score?

Germany - USA 2:1 (0:0 / 1:0 / 0:1 / 1:0)

Micheal Wolf scored first in the 26. minute. Ryan Carter made the 1:1 in minute 49. The overtime lasted only 21 seconds when Felix Schütz tipped the shot in the net.

Was good game! :up:

Hear, hear. Have the Germans got new power-pills, or what? Were they that good - or were the US boys that bad on that day? Have not watched the match myself...

A cause for celebration, Skybird, a renewed faith perhaps.
I do echo your question though:
USA that bad? :O:
Krupp and Maybach characteristics showed through.

About Krupp I only know that he was defensce player himself when still being active, and that he left his future as coach open so far. Of his special characteristics I am not aware. But who is Maybach? Psychology or co-trainer?

:O:

Maybach is the new coach and the Engine-room of the team...
plenty of gas in that tank of Maybach's!
He has said in recent press releases that he would like to have Krupp back for another season.
Krupp has made a public anouncement recently to counter that with:
"Maybach and me make a good team, i may be back" :up:

Congratz Denmark, you totally deserved to win! :)

That was a great game. Saw most of the Div III matches here in Luxembourg. We're up to Div II next year :D

Some of the key US Players are still playing in the NHL Playoffs :yep: That being said, hats off to the Germans.

Agreed... that was a good game. I felt a bit sorry about the fins... without their star players... so desorientated. Now this group is looks a bit upside down :D
Denmark, Germany, USA, Finland

Denmark wtf? :o

This is group D = Denmark? :hmmm:
