The Germans, who knocked out Sweden in the quarters, relied on a scrappy defense and opportunistic offense to squeeze past a Canadian team who had looked on course for a third straight Olympic final appearance even without their NHL players.

The win set up a gold medal game against the mighty Russians, who beat Czech Republic 3-0 in Friday’s first semi-final. It also guarantees Germany an Olympic medal for the first time since the Innsbruck games in 1976, when they won bronze.

“It’s unreal to get to play for gold,” German defenseman Frank Hordler said.

“It gives me goosebumps,” said forward Patrick Hager, who scored what proved to be the winner and had an assist.

It was a day of sporting ignominy for hockey-mad Canada, winners of the last two Olympic gold medals in men’s ice hockey.

The Canadian men’s curling team were earlier shut out of the Olympic medals for the first time.

“A lot of guys have scars today,” Canadian forward Maxim Noreau said.

GERMAN FAMILY

To add insult to injury, one of the Germany’s goalscorers, Brooks Macek, grew up in Winnipeg, Canada but now also holds German citizenship.

“The guys here on Team Germany, they’re my brothers now,” Macek said. “It’s like a family in there and it means a lot to be heading into the gold medal game with these guys.”

Making the most of several Canadian missteps and penalties, Germany built a 4-1 lead through the first two periods only to face a withering comeback in the third as Canada scored two goals in the first 10 minutes of the period.
