If I was on the German team I would rather lose 8-0 trying to score and win then lose they way they are now.

Not their style...They play defense first and hope for a mistake by the other team. They are the type of team that isn't going to "beat themselves". They don't have enough talent to be in games any other way. Reminds me of the Minnesota Wild before this year...they stayed in every game even when outmatched badly.
 
Playing against a team with a "cap hit" of $121 million, a who's who of the NHL's allstars, trying to tango with them in a fast paced blow-for-blow game would be suicide. They are trying to give themselves the best chance to win, not entertain the masses.

You'll get your fireworks come Russia/Canada. Ironic, many thought that would be a medal game; now it stands that one of the two won't even get a medal.
