It won't be a cakewalk for both teams.
I'm not good in predictions, but still.
Denmark scores first, maybe twice.
Belarus ties in the second, both teams score in the third but Belarus wins by 2 with an empty net goal.

I'm disappointed that with 5 networks TSN still can't find time to let us watch this. I get it. It's a relegation game for 2 countries that "nobody" cares about, but it should still be an entertaining series with stakes and there are prospects involved and you'd think it'd be interesting for people to see who gets subbed out in favor of Kazakhstan next year.

With four other games going on, they didn't want to give either of their broadcast teams a triple header. That's pretty understandable, but I would have liked them to maybe throw a commentary free feed up on TSNGO or something.
 
Belarus has looked better in the tournament so far to be honest

But I would hate to see Denmark lose some of the momentum they've gained in the last few years by getting demoted.

Rooting for them.

Didn't think Denmark would be this bad, not looking so good for them right now, Belarus are playing better, so advantage them atm.
 
According to Danish media, three of our strongest players are out for this game. Krag has a concussion, Svejstrup is ill and Wejse has been penalized.....not really what we needed :laugh:.

Dont think I am going to spend five minutes on this game. The result is given in advance.
 
I was actually looking forward to watching this game too, figured I could find somewhere to watch it online but I didn't realize it wasn't being broadcasted at all. Belarus kept a lot of their games close while Denmark got continuously blown out every game. I'm expecting Belarus to win the series.
 
Holy cow, Belarus has picked the worst time to play their worst game of the tournament. Zero coherent attempts in first 20 minutes.
 
Most important game of the tournament and it's not on TV. Shameful TSN

Technically the Relegation setup is a best-of-3 mini-series, so there's no way this particular game can be the most important one since neither team can get relegated today. But still, yeah. I would've been fine with a commentary-free feed or even if they had just gotten some ringers to do commentary .
 
Everytime Setkov tries to pass Blichfeld in their own defensive zone someone catches it and scores. The exact same situation like against Slovakia lol. Setkov is having a nightmare tournament

Now say that Canada wins gold...

Almost theatrical just by looking at the game actions, from Denmark opening early, Belarus storming back and seemingly taking control to three unanswered Danish goals. Would've been a better watch if televised than the walkover in Canada-Switzerland
