Team Recap

Germany: After looking at the results, it seems strange that the only team to score against a German goalie was Canada. The scoring was a minor surprise too, as all 7 German goals were by different players and not 2 or 3 producing most of the offense.

Switzerland: For the "Where Are They Now" factor, Gerber won both games for Switzerland (Berra was in for the lost). Tim Ramholt and Roman Wick (hey, remeber them as well) each scored 2 goals against Canada while Simon Bodenmann scored 2 goals of his own against Germany.

Slovakia: For some of the players they had I;m a little shocked at Slovakia finishing third. To their credit, they did keep both Germany and Switzerland close in those games. Marcel Hossa was the only player to score more than 1 goal for the Slovaks.

Canada: When does the Spengler Cup start?
