Yes I know. But in the rest of the world and her ein Germany its a big thing, for Germany especially because the Germans have dug themslevs out of world hockey'S basement just in recent years, and were quite bad before since I think the 80s or so. To beat the US and taking the lead twice against mighty Canada before loosing just in the final third is a big thing for German hockey. Last time they were as good as in the recent years was when I still was at school.
