Probably no one. Maybe they appear on Tv2 play (on-line edition)

Krog in net tonight? Looks like him, he just made a really nice save on a cross crease pass. 1-0 Russia halfway through the game. Denmark playing pretty well.

 

[Canada4Gold]

#23 scored after the Russia goalie banked it off him and into the next, then Svejstrup just scored so it's 2-2 halfway through the 3rd

 

[Canada4Gold]

But Russia just scored seconds later

 

[Canada4Gold]

Last gasp for Denmark here, PP with 3:40 left

 

[Canada4Gold]

Dump and chase on that PP was atrocious for Denmark on that PP. Didn't get offensive zone possession once for the entire PP. Pull their goalie and gives up a empty netter right at the end of it

 

[Canada4Gold]

Game ends 4-2. I was quite impressed by Denmark. Russia had one of their KHL lines scratched that will be playing in the tournament, and not sure they relied on their best guys who played as much as they would, but Denmark played really well. That last PP was really disappointing though.

 

[Canada4Gold]

They played a full OT and a shootout for practice. Svechnikov got a breakaway and scored in the OT. Denmark won the shootout 2-1

22 Grundtvig DEN saved
11 Abramov RUS scored
17 Andersen DEN saved
14 Svechnikov RUS saved(fanned?)
8 Svejstrup DEN scored
7 Sokolov TUS saved
25 Molge DEN scored
10 Manukyan RUS saved
23 Madsen DEN saved
9 Kravtsov RUS saved

Denmark wins the shootout 2-1

Thank you very much for the recap and your opinion of the game. It is much appreciated for us who cannot see it.

The Danish team played without the first line; Jonas Røndbjerg, Nikolaj Krag-Christensen and Joachim Blichfeld. Goalie Emil Gransøe was not dressed either.

Russia-Denmark full game:

 

[Bagge]

Bragin vs Eller rematch ver. 22.0? it feels like they play each other at least twice a year now. The gap getting a little bit smaller each time. Nice to have a guy like Bragin on the WJC20 NT for Russia.

Still remember those golden moments when he totally changed what kind of foreigners the Danish league could attract.

Edit: Also Skriko.

Went to the Sweden game on Monday and the Russia game last night, and Kasper Krog has really impressed me.

Thank you. I hope it will carry over to the WJC. We need him to be a wall if we should stand any chance for a good result.

A lot of room to fill out in that cage when you are 5 foot 9 inches

Who’s the big PP producer this year for Denmark?

 

[BigBadBoar]

Who’s the big PP producer this year for Denmark?

I believe Blichfeld and Røndbjerg to be a very dangerous PP duo. Especially Blichfeld, I like how he reads the game in the offensive zone, plus he knows how to score.

 

[Bagge]

Who’s the big PP producer this year for Denmark?

I doubt there is any. Jacob Svejstrup leads the USHL in points at the moment, so he might step up. Blichfeld, Røndbjerg and David Madsen are other possibilities.

 

[Hungry]

Like always relegation is a distinct possibility. Division 1 next year will be a challenge with Germany, Latvia, and the French team that was promoted to the U18 championships. Add this years relegated team and it could be a bloodbath.

When you look at what Denmark has done the last three years it's astounding. 3 quarterfinal appearances. They've got points in every single game except those against the big 4 (3 vs SUI, 2 vs CZE, 1 vs FIN). They've taken 2 of 3 games against Russia to overtime and have kept the scores down against the top teams with the exception of the quarterfinal loss to Canada. It's been a dream run, almost impossible to imagine it going any better. Here's hoping they play as hard as they have the last few years and that that is enough to keep them up for another year.

 

[Bagge]

Swedish TV is sending live from most games, also the Danish. Tonight it is live from 18.00 on SVT2.

 

[SanBlom]

Did True get injured or not make it?

 

[Bagge]

Did True get injured or not make it?

He did not make it for some odd reason. He plays on small ice, that should be sufficient. He'll make it next year.

Seriously though. Not much offense going for us in the first two games. I really like Setkov though.

I'm shocked. He is one of the guys who stood out to me last year. I really liked True and From. Enough to remember them and continue to watch their progress. Not much else going on this squad. Setkov, like you said....and...um...Rondbjerg looked ok at times. Bleh. Thx for the info.

Erhm...you mean Alexander True, but he is too old now and plays in Sharks organisation. I thought you meant his younger brother, Oliver who is currently in CHL.
