Hertl is out for this game.

Sobotka and Hudler are questionable, but should start.

Rolinek - Sobotka - Jágr
Klepiš - Červenka - Hudler

Kindl - Němec
Ševc - Jordán
Kolář - Zámorský
Vitásek

Salák (Kovář)

Hertl scratched (stomach flu). Sobotka probably will not play the whole game.

Still one spot left for a goalie (Francouz, could be for Mrázek) and one in field (L. Kovář or Růžička). Kašpar and Gulaš are definitely out.

 

[Systemfel]

Denmark starting Nielsen and making some other line-up changes.

 

[michall]

Nice, PP goal. 0 - 1

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Pathetic

 

[michall]

Czechs added 2nd PP goal, but then DK scored 5 on 5 and elevated their game and now DK is pushing CZE pretty hard and seem to be better team for several last minutes. Salak is getting quite sweaty in CZE goal.

 

[ElQuapo]

Am I the only one who is not so sure Nicklas Jensen is actually that good for the team? Sure, he has a very nice shot, but he just takes way to many stupid penalties and is much to egoistic. I remember thinking the same while watching him play in the U20-IHWC a few years ago, where it was almost extreme.

I don't think it is so surprising that he has not put up that many points in the AHL and NHL - his style may have worked very well against lower opposition in the juniors, but it just does not cut it against better opponents.

 

[jagrgodr]

It is quite amazing that Jagr is still producing, almost in any situation he is put in. I know this isn't the best team but Jagr now has PPG average in this tournament.. it's just so great to see.

 

[jagrgodr]

jagr's going for a 3+ point night, you can tell

 

[DK Rookie]

Pretty good play by the danes (that's by danish standards ), save for the dumb penalties and just standing around watching as #68 goes to work on the man-advantage.

Let's not throw the kid under the bus! He's a goal-scorer and perhaps the only Danish player that actually thinks shoot first. Neither Hansen or Madsen are playmakers, so maybe getting one of Bødker, Green or Christensen onto a line with Nicklas would be money?

 

[michall]

No disrespect to danish team, they are playing very well, but czechs look like they lost all their strength after 10 minutes with those flu / diarrhea issues. Sobotka looked terrible in his interview. Not sure if danish team also has health issues, heard only about slovaks to be sick as well.

 

[jagrgodr]

that hissing and whistling during the start of the power play was amazing.. what is up with that?

 

[jagrgodr]

wow missed goalie interference call on the 2nd denmark goal.. lol

 

[jagrgodr]

denmark ties it with a minute left after pulling their goalie..

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

God ****ing damnit!!!!!

 

[Swipes]

LOL. Our defence and goaltending sucks balls.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

Finally some puck luck!

But the Czech will win it in OT, pretty fast imo.

 

[joe89]

Two points here and Denmark has a chance.. France and Slovakia left to play and Norway has no obvious points to collect.

 

[KurtSloan]

wow missed goalie interference call on the 2nd denmark goal.. lol

Of course there was interference before 2nd denmark goal. but saying something about refs is unnecessary.

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

Two points here and Denmark has a chance.. France and Slovakia left to play and Norway has no obvious points to collect.

I hope not. They must not.

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

I hope not. They must not.

Don't worry, they wont

[admire]

Yeeeees. So important to get at least one point. Great Great performance tonight
