With the way Danes have been playing, i dont sem them losing. Even against us Kazakhs looked powerless, we dominated most of the game and all they could do was counter attack all game.

Of course, out of all things that have to happen (CZE>SUI, KZK>DEN, LAT>NOR), this is the least likely, but let a person dream

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

This is a must win for Denmark, they are under pressure and if they pull this off, I will be one happy camper.

Kazakhs are not bad, but seem rather one dimensional. They live for the PP and counter attacks, but I noticed that they have great zone coverage in D and that each player covers their guy with a lot of tenacity.

Denmark need to show they are the better team, which they are.

However, I have a baaad feeling the Swiss will upset the Czechs tomorrow.

 

[NikoEhlers]

The mental boost from winning should give the boys some extra energy for today to compensate from the hard earned win yesterday, but they need to stay disciplined today. I also have questions if Denmark can take control over the game, I think the team is so used to being the underdog, nonetheless its going to be interesting to see the team in a new type of pressure where its not to avoid relegation

 

[Slimmy]

Kazakhstan has had one days rest so expect them to play their first line an absurd amount of minutes. If they go up by a few early they could take this. I'm really hoping to see Denmark in the QF's. Good luck, you guys.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Nasty part is, we can win this and finish with 11pts, and still miss out on the QF if the Swiss win tomorrow.

I hope we win either way, just to finish off in a good way.

 

[Lumipanda]

Denmark all the way today!

By the way, is there any word that Danes use to root their teams/competitors? I know Latvia has the word "Sarauj", which as far as I know doesn't really even translate to anything, but either way! In the words of hashtags, this would be lovely to know, haha.

What do Finns say? Perkele?

 

[BalticWarrior]

Go team Borat !

 

[Lumipanda]

What do Finns say? Perkele?

Hahah! That'd be pretty sweet, but nope. We just do the "Suomi! Suomi!" thing, which is just Finland in finnish.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Stupid, stupid penalty.

Look out for Kazakh PP:

I know what it is. In Latvian Finland is Somija.

 

[jonas2244]

So whole Latvia and Switzerland are rooting for KAZ tonight. Not an easy situation for Danmark.

Well the word Sarauj comes from the word saraut and can be roughly translated as to rip something to pieces/shreds , so the spectators are basically asking to rip the opponents to pieces

 

[BalticWarrior]

4 min Pk holy hell, that wont end well.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Danes a little unlucky so far.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Welp, that ended as you would expect

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

1-0 Denmark !!!

 

[tade]

Big Dane! Exactly how we remember him from his Flyers times.

Wait... was it Oliver or Mark? I am confused.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Come on Kazakhstan! Dont give up now !

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Big Dane! Exactly how we remember him from his Flyers times.

It was his younger brother, Markus.

 

[tade]

It was his younger brother, Markus.

Ohh, okay then, damn! So many Lauridsens and Jensens on Danish team!
