[SLOVAN]

Please, guys from Finland,Sweden and Danmark is possible to watch the games USA-RUSSIA and CANADA-DANMARK in any TV station in your countries? If it, say me pls which one. THANKS

 

[Love]

Containing Ehlers will be top priority.

Side note: I was quite impressed with Sam Morin last game vs USA. Hopefully that continues.

 

[Auston Marlander]

TSN shows the game as 8pm et.

 

[Nash]

I am a huge Ehlers fan, so I'm glad that Canada doesn't have the type of team that punishes star players like in the past with Ovechkin. Ehlers is pretty good at avoiding the big hits anyway.

Sorry to be the team that knocks you out Denmark, but this has been a great tournament for your nation no matter what. I'm happy you guys won't be relegated.

 

[ffenliv]

The quarters sure did shake out in a favourable route for Canada this year. If they don't make the gold medal game, it's a serious, serious failure. And by 'serious', I mean 'as serious as teenage sports should be taken', but if they don't I'm sure HC will be ticked off.

Looking forward to watching Ehlers and Eller again. As a Habs fan, it's nice to see Eller pt. 2 on a big stage.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Anyone know why hockeystreams has all of the other wjc games listed but this one? I'm starting to get scared...

If Canada doesn't get to the Gold medal game, a hockey summit would be quickly planned. Denmark and SVK/CZE should be cake walks and I mean no disrespect to either country but let's be real here. This Canadian team probably has about 8-10 future NHL'ers, anything but a gold medal appearance will be an absolute epic failure.

For some reason it is listed under IIHF and not the World Junior section. Streaming starts at 7:30.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Canada has to score in the first five minutes to break them, otherwise Denmark will feel like they have nothing to lose, play with confidence and then lookout.

If we score early, I predict an easy win. I think we will... so 6-1 Canada.

Yes, the Canada-Denmark game can be watched on TV2 (a national broadcasting channel).

I'm not sure confidence, or anything else will do the trick. Sure, we've all seen these upsets, but I don't think there's ever one cause.

I think Denmark's hope rests on an all-time great WJC goalie performance. They're going to face a lot of pressure, probably from one end of the game to the other. Might slack off a bit if Canada gets into penalty trouble, which we've seen already against the Germans.

 

[duul]

If there's any game to get some confidence into McDavid, it's this one.

You're a saint and a scholar! Crisis diverted.

 

[SillyRabbit]

I think Canada runs away with this one.

No disrespect to Nik Ehlers and the Denmark team, but I can see Canada getting a 2-3 goal lead in the 1st and never looking back.

 

[ATBLeafsTyler]

My prediction: 9-1 Canada.

Containing Ehlers and Bjorkstrand won't be too hard for DDR line IMO. DDR line combines for 11 points, McDavid breaks out with a 4 point night.

Only way I can see the Danes getting a goal is on the PP.

 

[SLOVAN]

Yes, the Canada-Denmark game can be watched on TV2 (a national broadcasting channel).

super.thank you

 

[AstrophysicalJet]

10-2 Canada.

 

[JC Numminen]

Not predicting a blow out actually. 4-2 Canada.

McDavid (2), Lazar, Morrissey
Ehlers (2)

 

[llwyd]

10-2 Canada.

Surely possible, but these games can also be rather tedious for the favourites. It can also turn out to be quite a bit more meagre scoreline. Especially if the Danes can get a lucky bounce in the beginning of the game.

 

[Bagge]

10-2 Canada.

Dont you mean Denmark 10-2 Canada?

 

[ffenliv]

Dont you mean Denmark 10-2 Canada?

I think he probably did. Certainly that flag and location in your profile suggest a clear, unbiased interpretation of his meaning!

or sarcasm.

Ya, I thought my little laughing face would indicate that I, too, was kidding.

 

[JoeyBeans]

10-2 Canada.

Agree.
