Germany rammed its way into the play-off for fifth against Hungary with a solid yet unexciting display. Canada has appealed for parts of the tournament but not so in this game until the final quarter when the odds were stacked highly against it. Germany started strongly but could not maintain the momentum before halftime. Added drive came at the start of the third period and the impetus was retained until the break with captain POLITZE firing in a penalty goal 11 seconds from time. Canada struck form with two goals in a minute but SAVIC lobbed RANDALL for 7-4 at 6:33. BOYD responded but the Canadian push stopped there, leaving Germany to rifle in the last two goals, one on penalty to POLITZE and the last by NAROSKA.
