Unfortunately, one has to say from a German point of view, the start into the first Olympic Games in eight years went as expected for the German team, they lost against Favorit Finland. The final result was 2:5 (1:2,0:2,1:1).
To the disappointment of all international ice hockey fans, the NHL has decided to continue its game play during the Winter Olympics and not to release their players. Because the NHL is the best ice hockey league in the world, South Korea lacks many superstars.
The German national team is particularly affected. While countries such as Sweden, Canada and the USA are well positioned in terms of breadth, the DEB team has a particularly large disparity. Players such as Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers) or Tom Kühnhackl (Pittsburgh Penguins) are sorely missed.
