GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • Canada vs. Denmark

[ryan callahan]

1-0 Denmark in overtime
Sorensen plays the game of his life and make 52 saves. And Bjorkstrand snipes it in OT

 

[Alerion]

The sooner we score the better, a quick goal or two could dash Denmark's hopes. The longer they stay around, the more winnable the game becomes for them, so Canada needs to come out fast and strong. Even if we can't do all of that, please god no early penalties.

 

[Killahpunk]

Predicting a 6-1 Canada win. Ehlers getting frustrated and kept off the scoresheet.

Canada will go up 4-0 early and coast the rest of the way. 7-0 Final.

 

[CarlWinslow]

Worried. So many things could go wrong.

I`ll make only one prediction. Denmark will be cheered on by a huge number of posters with little USA flags on this site. The number will grow as long as the game is close and it will explode if Denmark wins.

I am upset USA got knocked out but I love Hockey so I watch the rest of the tournament with glee anyway. I am just so confused why you guys think Canada is going to run away with this one? Do you forget Canada-Latvia in the Olympics? All it takes is a team with some young players with absolutely nothing to lose playing balls to the wall and the opposing team not taking them seriously to try for an upset. This is a tournament for teenagers who show questionable emotional maturity at times. I could see Denmark sweeping the rug out from underneath Canada in the beginning of the game.

Guessing the game (on the scoreboard) will be a little closer than other predictions and seeing a 6-3 game.

Off-topic but that Tim Horton's commercial is fantastic.

8-1 Canada. Denmark cashes in on the PP.

Canada 15
denmark 2

 

[Habsawce]

3-2 Russia

 

[Breakers]

Now I know why the Canucks GM Benning was willing to trade 2 first round picks, and another first round prospect for Sam Reinhart.

This guys Hockey IQ is off the charts for someone of his age.

He hasn't been on the ice for a single goal against all tournament and is a +9.

 

[TCascagnette]

7-1 Canada

Stay out of the box (neutralize Ehlers and Bjokstrand), and go home with a victory. It's that simple.

 

[DakrSnooze]

Domi scores 7 goals FTW

 

[jdatb]

Hoping Canada pulls off the victory. 7-2

Strong display picture to post content correlation

I predict that Gauthier won't look good and people will lose their minds. His game is far more suited to playing against the Americans or the Finns than it is Denmark. He's definitely familiar with Ehlers though, I wonder if Groulx will try and use that matchup at all.

I think just matching the top lines against each other will be the best option

This is a scary game. After the game against the US, I expect the team might come out flat since 'they are only playing the Danes'. I can see the Danes playing defensive hockey and work to push this to a shootout where anything can happen.

Still if the Danes did win, I would laugh....

Anything can happen, but if Canada plays in a play-off mode, it shouldn't be a problem.

Not a scary game at all. Glad to see them make it, for obvious hockey related reasons, but they have 1 line that can match any of Canada's. Short of Canada having food poisoning entering the game, it's a foregone conclusion. The only team that will give them trouble they will meet for the gold medal

 

[admire]

We won't win..We simply won't but I'm hoping we can keep it close and bring a strong performance. most important thing is to keep canada out for the first 10-15 mind and then hopefully score first

What if Denmark beats Canada tonight?

won't happen. would be one of the biggest upsets in international hockey history.

Worried. So many things could go wrong.

that's only fair. We are barely more than 10 danish posters on hfboards. We need the backup.

Congratulations on being the first person in human history to ever say those words in that order.

6-0 Canada

Only teams capable of scoring on Canada is members of the other big 4 teams.

USA
Russia
Sweden
Finland

If your team is not the any of the countries I just listed, don't count on scoring team Canada. Just not enough fire power.

 

[RickyR]

They say go big or go home.
43 - 3 for Canada. 19 goals for Domi, 10 for Reinhart. Gauther gets an empty netter.
