60th minute: End, over, over! What an ice hockey thriller in the final phase. The DEB team is no longer able to equalize. At the start of the Ice Hockey World Championships, Germany loses 0-1 to eleven-time world champions Sweden.

Germany loses opener at Ice Hockey World Championship: Sweden too ripped off
59th minute: Germany takes a time-out, having previously taken out the goalkeeper. Full risk!
59th minute: The Swedes disturb the Germans deep in the opponent's third in the build-up and also hold the disc for a long time. Of course, this does not play into the hands of the DEB team at all. Seider, after all, comes to a conclusion.
58th minute: With just under three minutes to go, the German team is complete again. Now it's time!
57th minute: Niederberger makes a strong save with his left foot and keeps Germany in the game.
56th minute: Bitter! Wissmann receives a two-minute penalty for setting his legs. This means that the German majority is gone. On the contrary, the DEB team is outnumbered for 80 seconds afterwards.

55th minute: Moritz Müller gets a high stick from Nylander in the face - that gives a two-minute penalty. For the DEB team, it's now "now or never". Seider fails because of Johansson.
54th minute: Everberg checks Niederberger in the short corner, but the glove snaps shut.
52nd minute: The game is now very competitive, both teams don't give each other anything. The DEB team now needs to develop more penetration in attack.
49th minute: Chance to equalise: Kahun fails to beat Johansson from close range.
48th minute: Sweden acts very cleverly with the lead behind them and hardly lets the Germans touch the target.
45th minute: The DEB team is not unsettled by the deficit and looks for the way into the offensive. Germany will now have to significantly increase the risk in order to take something away from this.
DEB team shocked shortly after the break: Sweden takes the lead
42nd minute: GOAL for Sweden. 1:0 by Lindberg. The goal scorer fakes the disc directly in front of the goal untenably past Niederberger. Bitter: The time penalty for the DEB team had almost expired.
41st minute: The third period begins. Germany is still outnumbered by more than a minute.
40th minute: Germany survives the short-term deficit without conceding a goal and trembles into the third break. We're about to continue with the decisive third third.
40th minute: Time penalty against Fischbuch for leg positioning, 26 seconds before the break.
37th minute: Niederberger can be relied upon. The goalie is also on the post when the Swedes shoot and even loses his stick for a short time.
34th minute: Strong save by Niederberger against Petersson.
31st minute: Madness! Fischbuch lays exemplarily across for the free Peterka, but at the last moment a Swedish thug splashes in between.
30th minute: Second penalty for de la Rose. Germany again in the majority.
30th minute: In the second period, the Swedes lead 6-2 on goal against Germany.
28th minute: Germany join forces to prevent the goal from being conceded. Kahun then transports the disc out of harm's way. The DEB team needs more relief at this stage.
27th minute: Sweden gradually increases the number of shots. Again, Niederberger has to fend off a hard shot.
DEB team in aluminum luck: Sweden only hits the post
26th minute: Germany survives being outnumbered. Shortly before the expiry, however, the DEB team is lucky when the Swedes hit the post.
25th minute: Despite being outnumbered, the Germans defend very offensively and keep the Swedes far away from their own goal. In the case of a long-range shot, however, Niederberger has to grab it with his catching hand.
23rd minute: Unfortunately, the DEB team is unable to take advantage of the advantage and then receives the two-minute penalty for holding Szuber himself.
22nd minute: Noebel's shot is blocked. Wissmann shoots narrowly past from a half-left position.
22nd minute: Next time penalty for Sweden, who can't cope with the combination play of the Germans at all. The DEB team now wants to finally use the majority to score goals.
21st minute: The second period continues. Germany immediately switched to attack mode and fired the first disc at goal after just under 15 seconds.
20th minute: Germany and Sweden go into the first period with a 0-0 draw. The DEB team was the more active team and had the better chances, as evidenced by 9:4 shots on goal. It can go on like this right away and maybe a disc will fall into the Swedish goal.
19th minute: Germany outnumbered. The DEB team is allowed to play the last two minutes of the first period on the power play.
18th minute: The best chance for Sweden, but de la Rose does not put the exposed disc in the goal.
17th minute: Germany forces the Swedish goalie to secure the puck after a long-range shot. The DEB team dominates the action here.
14th minute: Peterka tries from an acute angle, but Johansson's goalie is able to save with his shoulder.
10th minute: Squeaky clean performance of the German team up to this point, only the successful completion is missing. On the defensive, nothing burns at all.
6th minute: It took more than five minutes for the Swedes to finish for the first time. The DEB team makes a stable impression.
4th minute: The Swedes seem to be a bit surprised by the offensive style of play of the Germans. So far, very little has come forward from the eleven-time world champion.
2nd minute: Germany put pressure on from the start. Wagner's free shot is saved by goalie of the Swedes.
1st minute: That was close. The DEB team goes on the offensive for the first time, but Peterka misses the disc in front of goal.
The game is running.
Update from May 12, 19:18 p.m.: The German and Swedish skaters are coming onto the ice. It's about to start at the Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland.
Update from May 12, 19:15 p.m.: In about five minutes, Germany will start the Ice Hockey World Championship against Sweden. Will the DEB team get off to a good start? Group opponents, hosts and defending champions suffered a 1-4 defeat to the USA.
Update from May 12, 19:08 p.m.: National ice hockey coach Harold Kreis is still leaving room for late nominations from the NHL at the World Championships in Finland and Latvia. At the start of the World Cup on Friday, four squad places were left open at the official announcement. Kreis initially refrained from reporting the third goalkeeper Maximilian Franzreb (Bremerhaven) as well as the strikers Manuel Wiederer (Berlin) and Filip Varejcka (Munich). In addition, defender Leon Gawanke (Manitoba Moose/AHL) is not expected in Tampere until the weekend.
Thus, the German Ice Hockey Federation still has the opportunity to nominate the top stars Leon Draisaitl (Edmonton Oilers) and Philipp Grubauer (Seattle Kraken) should these players be eliminated in the NHL playoffs in the coming days. This could happen to goalkeeper Grubauer as early as Sunday. DEB sports director Christian Künast had not ruled out a possible World Cup participation of both NHL stars.

Kick-off of the Ice Hockey World Championship: Germany at the start against Sweden
The dress rehearsal on Tuesday in Munich was a failure, the DEB team lost 3-6 to the USA. Now the German skaters want to do better against Sweden, if it counts. With a new national coach on the bench.
"We're certainly not going to hide," said Harold Kreis before the first World Cup match. For the 64-year-old, it is the first World Cup as a full-time head coach. In 2010, the German-Canadian was assistant coach to Uwe Krupp when the German team reached the semi-finals. "There's a bit of excitement already. We just want to get started," says Kreis.

DEB team threatens horror hat-trick: NHL star Seider remains calm
Captain Moritz Müller attaches only a subordinate role to the difficult start. "For me, the reaction to the game is more important than the game itself. No matter how it turns out," Müller said. "If we win it, we still have to beat the others. And if we lose, even more so. We can't get too high or too low."
NHL star and Germany hopeful Moritz Seider remains calm despite the tough start at the Ice Hockey World Championships: "If you want to get to the quarterfinals, you have to steal a few points against these nations. We've proven many times in the past that we can do that."

"To reach the quarter-finals and direct qualification for the Olympics. Internally, we have said with the team that we want maximum success – no matter what that looks like," said Kreis, explaining the association's goals at the World Cup from 12 to 28 May. The foundation for this could be laid against the "Tre Kronors".
