Question to danish fans -how did bjorkstrand play against Sweden? was he notable at all? and do you think khl has helped him.improve?

*At work dancing around like crazy*

YES YES YES! Finally a great start!

Beat them up

 

[TollefsenFan]

You certainly have the goalie advantage. Both our d's are fairly thin, so it's equal there.
Maybe we on paper have better edge in forwards, but it only becomes a real significance if Denmark can get a “flow“. Norway are so good at prevented Denmark from achieving that.........
If we have a game with lots of penalties, Norway will win it on the PP.

Your D is also stronger. Lauridsen Brothers, Lassen and Larsen are better than a bunch of Get liga Ds. Holøs and Trygg are okey. Tollefsen is by far Our most important player and he is out cause of injuries. Without him we dnt stand a chance. Hopefully we can get a point from the France game.

Norge completely shocked at the moment. Time to get some confidence back on the PP.

Played okay, and there is no question he is improved after the KHL. Was on our best line pre tournament.

Holös. What a bomb!

 

[Justinov]

Typically. Norwegian PP gives a goal. Holøs.
2-1

 

[Domenica]

2:1 Holos slapper.

 

[admire]

Typical Norway match.....close matches always.

 

[Systemfel]

Great start. Really enjoying this game.

 

[Domenica]

where's thoresen for you guys ?injured?

Several minor injuries that need to heal. Has opted out.

 

[Bagge]

Typical Danish mentality....after we get two easy goals we fall a sleep and we will not wake up before it is to late

 

[Justinov]

Another Danish penalty that was pretty unnecessary.
Good we managed to survive this one....

 

[Justinov]

Damn - huge chance for Jesper Jensen, but Haugen saves

 

[admire]

FINISH THEM FFS!

We need to win this.



But we are really playing well. Simon Nielsen worries me. Terrible season.

 

[admire]

Philip Larsen just got owned completely.

 

[Bagge]

Obviously the Norwegians have been told to hit Philip Larsen hard every chance they get. Hopefully it doesnt get to him.

 

[Justinov]

The Norwegians have successfully stopped the Danish flow. It looks more and more to be a game on the Norwegian premises.
This will be a hard fight the next 2 periods......

 

[admire]

To any non danes: If you think we sound like pessimistic, nervous wrecks.......its because we are.

 

[danishdynamite]

Staal and Jesper B Jensen have been bad.

poulsen good. our first line will score in this game.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

I am really starting to question Jesper Bs hockey IQ. I Can already see where this game is going.....

Don't worry. You don't sound like a nervous wreck. And pessimistic is the word du jour on this forum.

usually he's solid.. hopefully our D will be better.. we will score at least two more goals in this game..

Can't decide what's itches my nerves the most. Our defensive coverage, transition game or the massacre on the dot. On the other hand I like our chances - especially the first line - around the boards, when we pass quickly through the mid zone and when we get some guys on the Norwegian net.

Unfortunately I think the Norwegians adjusted best. They need to enter our zone and the patiently wait until one of our D's(Jesper B. Jensen the prime victim) over commits to making a hit or our D's get out of position(Emil Kristensen and Oliver Lauridsen looking at you). Then they get their shots with guys in front of the net. That works wonder for them against us.

Jesper B. Jensen really needs to calm the **** down and make better and mostly more patient decisions. Oliver Lauridsen and Emil Kristensen needs to the to get their coverage together. Our centers need to tie up more face offs. They can't win a whole lot but especially Morten Madsen needs Bødker and Jannik Hansen to come in a take battle for it.

And I'd like for us to hit Holos like they are hitting Philip Larsen. Constantly, clean but it's frustrating him you can tell.

It's looking tough but we can do this! C'mon Denmark!
