64 SOGs is ofcourse not okay, but I think we played well at times in terms of not allowing too many clear cut chances, but we were awful in the second. Im such an ehlers fanboy usually but that also means that I will come down hard on him and he simply can't be this one way oriented as he was yesterday...One of the penalties were maybe a bit unlucky because the stick broke but he was undisciplined in the end. And he needs to stop complaining to refs. Especially at international competition...He already been thrown out of two games this season for that at halifax.
Ehlers need to use his team mates such more. He had good chemistry with Bjorkstrand but he needs to pass the puck back to him more.
Eller was inconsistent. I liked his play in the first but he was bad later in the game.
Agree all around. Ehlers needs to work on his two way game instead of just hovering around the blue line watching the rest of the team defend, and waiting on the puck, and he needs to pass the puck more.
If Sørensen wasn't midget sized, he would be invited to an NHL this summer. I think he could get a really great career in big european league..
Not much to say, since I agree with all you write.
Couldn't really figure out if Ehlers was just not better yesterday, or if he was being lazy. Was it because of teammates not being good enough? I mean Bjork played a good game, so that would be a bad excuse.
At times he was just coasting around waiting for a great pass not really joining in the play.
I too am a huge Ehlers fanboy and tend to come down hard on him, not fair, but when he does well, we usually smother him with praise.
Aagard I was a bit dissapointed with, not at the level I expected of him.
Eller to me seems unintelligent, he made som really mindnumbingly stupid plays, and it makes more sense to me now, that he isn't producing in the DUB.
George could be that awesome goalie we have in the Euro leagues to always be available for the NT.
This is ofcourse a great feat for a Danish team, even though our team was older. 10 years ago we would have been dominated double digit like.
So we have come far, but I still don't know what to expect from them come WJC, the defense is horrible imo, they are bad a moving the puck out of the zone, and make some horrible ill fated passing.
64sog is to me, close to being embarrassing, and the 3-2 scoreline was a lucky one! leading 2-1 with under 2 mins to go, makes the loss sour though, but a win would have been all George's! He is a giant in a little mans body.
I don't think a QF is realistic, but tbh, I don't what level the Swiss team are at, and they are the team we need to beat to reach the QF.
If we go to the relegation, I also do not know much about Germany (Expecting them to be the other team). It all depends on Ehlers and Bjorkstrand and then George.
The USA team were skating circles around our D at times, so they cannot be counted on!
