Comment by Erich Goldmann on Sport1 as the Finnish spectator snatched the puck in the stands "quick reaction, atypical for a Fin at that time of the day"
looks like this is going to be a well-deserved win for Germany.
your team looks tired. most penalties were because of being one step too late. i guess the big wins in the past 2 games took some energy. especially the NHLers are invisible today.
but i'm sure the next game they will go 100% again.
Congratz to Germany. Clearly the better team today.

Yes, and Germany was very good at shutting them down. I guess 2 days rest will give an important boost.
so, if usa beats finland, then germans take 5 points to next round, and if finland beats usa, then denmark take 5 points for next round, right ?
Yes, if USA wins against Finland Germany takes 5 points to the next round because Finland would play in the relegation round and the loss of Germany against Finland doesn't count anymore if I'm not wrong. USA would begin qualification round with 2 points and Denmark with 2 points because Denmark won against USA in overtime.
But if Finland beats USA then Germany, Finland and Denmark take all 3 points to the next round, because Germany won against Denmark, Denmark against Finland and Finland against Germany. If I'm not wrong the teams only take the points to the next round from the games against the teams which could qualifiy for the next round.

I didn't really hear anything before the game, but apparently some of the Danish players made some comments which indicated that they considered themselves the much better team compared to Germany.
Some quotes by your coach:
"The Germans can't score, if we score twice we'll win"
"We beat the USA and the Finns and Germany is not even close to them"

= arrogant behaviour
To be honest, before the game I would have agreed with him on this two points
