The game of the year!! Norway might win... As usual...

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

The game of the year!! Norway might win... As usual...

Denmark have actually won 4 of the past 5 meetings, although only one of those 5 games were in WC's and Norway won that

But still, that's rather interesting.

Yeah - Denmark wins many of the friendly matches, but when it comes to the match of importance, Norway gets the win.

2014: Norway

4–3

Denmark
2013: Norway

3–2

Denmark
2012: Norway

6–2

Denmark
2009: Norway

5–4 OT

Denmark
2009: Norway

5–3

Denmark (Olympic qualifying match, Thoresen with a hattrick)
2006: Norway

6–3

Denmark
2005: Norway

4–0

Denmark (Olympic qualifying match)
2002: Norway

3–4

Denmark (Division I)
1998: Norway

1–2

Denmark (Group B)
1989: Norway

3–2

Denmark (Group B, the beginning of the rivalry as Stephen Foyn scored the GWG at 59:59)
1986: Norway

7–0

Denmark (Group C)
1975: Norway

5–5

Denmark (Group C)
1973: Norway

14–2

Denmark (Group C)

However, as Norway only counts the matches at the World Championship, Olympics and qualifying matches for the Olympics and WHC (when they used to have those), it would take more time to research the friendly matches. Between 2011 and 2015 Norway won 3 in regulation and one in OT, while Denmark won 3 and 1 in a shootout, so it is pretty even.

In short: it's gonna be one hell of a match between two rivals who really hate each other!

Also: the national team made a new version of our team song from 1989... about time somebody updated that song. And good they play hockey for a living rather than singing.

 

[Bank]

Norway are 5-0 against Denmark at the WC. Don't expect that to change. But I'm hoping for a point. That would allow us to completely collapse on Slovenia and let Bjorkstrand run his breakaways all game

Seriously Norway will properly win. Just make it hard for them. Don't get any suspensions. Don't get injured - which means always have an eye for Tollefsen.

Someone on Team Denmark is doubtful. Janne Karlsson won't say who. My guess are Daniel Nielsen(catastrophe) or Morten Poulsen(Meh). Sebastian Dahm will get the game against Norway after his USA-game. Funny time to start playing goalies back-to-back

Quite a depressing list from a Danish point of view, but thanks for showing it.
It is rather amazing what a psychological advantage the Norwegians have in these important matches as you say in overall number of matches it is very equal and have been so for the last 15 years or so.

So since Denmark joined the top division in 2003, then Norway have dealt Denmark 5 WC defeats and twice “robbed“ us of Olympic Qualification.

Then I would point out that Norway and Denmark only hate losing to each other - (whether it's icehockey, football or handball), not hating each other in general (at least not any Danes or Norwegians I have met).
OK maybe some Danish players really have got Tollefsen under their skins (Jannik Hansen?)

Exactly Personally I have big sympaty for Norway. In generel our rivally with Sweden is WAY bigger... EXCEPT in hockey! Cant stand them!

 

[admire]

I desperate need Denmark to win...I need it!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, oh dear hockey gods! Just let us beat those damn Norwegians for ****ing once!

Result by mind: 4-3 Norway.
Result in Heart: Hardt by KO.



Its always an interesting game, because its two fan groups who generally like eachother in any other sport besides hockey, but there is NO team we would rather beat. And the players very much agree!

 

[Jakk123]

Yeah, Denmark must win

 

[Nakawick]

I hope there are some good fights in this game.

 

[admire]

I hope there are some good fights in this game.

There won't be...its the world championship. But their will be some pushing and a lot of hard hitting.

 

[The Greatest 101]

Oliver getting promoted to the second line.Good.

 

[admire]

Oliver getting promoted to the second line.Good.

He played second line yesterday......I think he will play with his brother and Jesper Jensen like yesterday.


edit: Getting nervous...we are getting close then!

I love Denmark, and I love living in Denmark... except for every May month (and the occasional friendly match in November and February of course). I couldn't give to ***** and a popsicle about soccer (Norway isn't supposed to play on green surfaces anyway - only snow and ice.

It is without a doubt the sporting rivalry I personally feel the most about...And I think its even bigger from our side since we are the one who clearly have a Norway problem in terms of WCs. Danes and Norwegians usually have a great relationships.....But when its WC time, I want you guys to suffer.....

 

[Jovavic]

Hopefully Objork can pot a few of those chances today, and keep his head up with OKT out there

 

[admire]

One hour left....WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

 

[Systemfel]

Spelling is out for Denmark. Morten Poulsen takes his spot on the third line.

[Hammer15]

Spelling must have an injury..? He could do some real damage tonight, so i'm sad that he is out...

 

[Bank]

Huh Spelling? Well the important thing is Daniel Nielsen is alright...

 

[admire]

I love this game! and I hate this game.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Huge game. Must win!

 

[GotTheMovesLikeJagr]

But when its WC time, I want you guys to suffer.....

Same here. This pretty much sums up what I want Tollefsen to do with the Danish players.



Only during the game, of course.

 

[Wolfy*]

Pick up your swords...a real Viking battle!

 

[Bank]

Spelling is healthy. Janne Karlsson feels he need Bau Hansen more on the fourth line. Did anybody say size?
