Canada demolishes Germany

The favourite for the gold medal stayed perfect against Germany, smoking them with a clear 10:0 victory.

 
 
 
 

Germany had a good start and also had the first chance of the game, created by a drop pass of Matthias Plachta, but LA Kings-goalkeeper Martin Jones denied Thomas Oppenheimer.

It took Canada nine minutes for the first real scoring chance, but proved their qualities capitalizing on every opportunity they got. Being down a man is no problem for Team Canada, so Ryan O’Reilly on the odd man rush served Sidney Crosby for the go-ahead-goal. 23 seconds later the Oiler’s duo Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall gave Canada the two-goal-lead. Plachta had a good chance for Germany, but it was again Canada to score. Ryan O’Reilly stole the puck behind the opposing net, gave it to Cody Eakins, who increased Canada's lead. With 11 seconds to go in the first frame Eakins would add one more to make it 4-0 after 20 minutes of play.

Canada - GermanyTaylor Hall and Aaron Ekblad scored two more in the first four minutes of the second period, resulting in a goalie change for Germany. Dennis Endras, who though could not really be blamed for the score, was pulled by coach Pat Cortina and Danny aus den Birken got between the pipes.

Canadian head coach Todd McLellan saw his team continuing to dominate the game, as Claude Giroux (28th minute) and Tyler Ennis (36th) sniped home two more, before Taylor Hall completed his hat trick (40th).

Canada - Germany

In the final period the Canadians finally showed some mercy and only scored their tenth goal. Matt Duchene scored on the penalty shot with a smooth move to beat the german netminder on the five hole.

The Germans tried to score at least one goal, but also Tobias Rieder, the only NHL-player on the roster, was not able to beat Martin Jones, who could celebrate a shutout in his first appearance for the Canadian national team.

The next game will be a challenge for both teams, as Germany will face neighbour Switzerland and Canada will be tested by Jaromir Jagr and the host nation on Monday.
