USA up 4-0 already against the Czechs. Russia 1-0 up against Germany.

Now Germany scores on the power play and leads 2-1. Weird.

Does the score reflect the pace of the game? I mean, is Germany simply playing better or are just Russians unable to convert their multiple chances while suffering from unlucky bounces? Missed the 1st period and that's why I'm asking

Unfortunately I've missed most of the 1st period myself. The last few minutes the Germans played very well. They were able to skate with the Russian team and capitalize on a couple of sloppy plays and a rather soft penalty against Zharkov.

Judging by the reaction of the commentator (although I don't understand a single word) the equalizer was rather surprising, so I guess Russia was controling the play for the most part.

[Tomas W]

The Russian doesnt look superior by any means, Germany looks just as good right now.

[charlamov71]

3-1 Germany

They looked good against Sweden despite the final score.

Still I am confused. Happy, but confused.

[Maverick41]

3-2 Germany after the second.

I did as well, but now it's working again. And Germany just scored again.

Goal under review, it appears.

When I did that I kept getting the same error message every 10 seconds. Then opened a new tab and klicked on the original link again, and it has worked ever since.

[zorz]

lol, why didn't Russians call time out and pull the goalie when they had face off in the offenzive zone 50 seconds before the end?

[Hockeyfrilla]

Germany won?

[Jussi]

USA won 5-0 and so have yet to allow a goal in the tournament.

[Langway]

The Russians could really use Tolchinsky. They're going to need Vasilevski to be much better if they're going to medal.

The Germans sagged a bit after getting a 3-1 lead but an impressive showing nonetheless.

Huge congrats to Germany. Now if they beat Swiss and Latvia they can be 2nd in their group.

It's not the Russian way!

Seriously, they never seem to learn.

[Bure80]

How looked Draisaitl saw he had 2 assists?
