The Germans have leaned heavily on their NHL contingent. Nobody has carried the load more than San Jose backup goalie Thomas Greiss, who was brilliant against the Swedes in the tournament's first game. He was replaced by former NHLer Dmitri Patzold in the game against the Finns, though. NHL veterans Christian Ehrhoff, from the hometown Vancouver Canucks, and Dennis Seidenberg of Florida form the team's No. 1 pairing and are on the ice in all important situations. The Germans will not blow anybody away with their offensive prowess, but they have developed into a nice two-way team, as the Swedes can attest to.

The Belarusians did not win Friday against Sweden, but they did walk away with a newfound confidence in their game. Forward Konstantin Zakharov says they will show their class in the game against Germany: "I think the game we played today, we have a lot of confidence and when we go and play Germany we're going to prove it." Perhaps the most interesting decision will be who the Belarusians start in goal. Andrei Mezin was very good Friday night, but is supposed to be the backup. Do they go back with Vitali Koval, who was good in a 5-1 loss to Finland.
