GDT: Group A - May 13 - Denmark (3) vs Latvia (2) SO

[Justinov]

Another good chance missed by Lars Eller.....damn.
If we can't score on this 5 -3 it's really pathetic.,.....

Dude, read my posts....I couldnt care less if we get relegated. I want them to go full throttle and go after the last quarterfinalspot instead of looking backwards all the time...getting 13th or 14th spot for the fourth time in a row will not get us anywhere...

How will being relegated make them more confident to go for the last quarterfinal spot? That's my point, losing doesn't make people more confident. No shakeup, wakeup necessary, just make the quarterfinal.

Ehlers is such a stud when he gets to run the pp...

 

[torero]

good pk by the Latvians ... (i know it s not over yet but still they passed the 5-3 ! and only a couple of seconds left ... they were disciplined and good.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Denmark really needs to get more creativity on the PP. They have the guns but guys are standing around at the wrong times.

This so much! I really think a relegation would do a lot more damage than good.!

On both sides...But yes, its awful.

Whats wrong is that they are just standing around....no movement and slow puck movement on generally all Danish PP. It's to easy to defend against.

Will we finally win a close game? ^_^

The Hit for those who didn't see it.

 

[Beerfish]

What an awful penalty call imo.

It's hard to say. Looks like a head was too low. I think in NHL it's an OK hit.

?? a clear head first contact. You mean referees shouldn't whistle for headhunting

 

[admire]

Thats a mega obvious penalty!

well what isn't ok in the NHL - even crosschecking referees in the back.

Off course we do. You should listen to the Danish media...so proud that we havent been relegated for 13 years, but fail to see why that is. We might produce more talent than ever, but on the mental level is just as fragile as 13 years ago. We talk ourselves up to being something that we cannot handle and at the first sign of regress everything collapses like a cardhouse.

Are you talking about Latvia?

good one. We seem to share some traits!

To be honest it looked like he hit chest first. imho

 

[Like Wall]

2 great opportunities missed...

 

[Justinov]

really??? Do you see how his head moves backwards first way before his chest in the replay. Looks like a jaw contact.
Also apparently he has loose teeth after the tackle - that's pretty rare on a chest tackle.

I've seen Slovaks whine about their team as much as we do about ours

Of course, his head was hit too. But it looked like the chest was touched first, then came the head.

Well so if you enormous shoulder pad just brushes his shirt before it reaches the unfortunates head, then it's not a penalty?
The Latvian guy is even lifting up of the ice with his skates meaning the energy of the tackle is going upwards (probably hitting the chin, lower jar) thus sending his head flying backwards way before the rest of the body.
