GDT: Quarterfinal • Russia vs. Denmark

[Teukka]

Sweden will face the winner of Finland-Canada. Thank god.

Oh, right. Sorry for panicking, everyone. Unfairly easy playoff route for USA is fine. I haven't been traumatized by that

 

[Tree-hugger]

Everyone loves an underdog.

Most people but even if it's a good fight that Danes put up it's a good thing. Don't you think ?

 

[Canada4Gold]

While I usually do, Denmark has less than zero skill on the team and I only watch this tournament because the games tend to be fun. Denmark-Whoever is a semifinal I would skip.

Seems most people only care about winning a meaningless U20 tournament, though, so it makes sense to cheer for a crappy team to take out a good one.

I'm cheering for Denmark because it would be a great story and these kids would be so excited to finish top 4, not because I somehow hope they make the final so Canada can win gold easy or something.

lol who was on that 1998 Canada team that lost to Kazakhstan?

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

The 1996 players is a weak generation for Russia, but they really should not be losing to Denmark. They are way better than this.

I'm guessing your team is losing?

[Hammer15]

Røndbjerg fantastic effort in d-zone

[TheBeastCoast]

Røndbjerg fantastic effort in d-zone

For a 16 year old his defensive play has been unbelievable. Really impressive.

 

[Canada4Gold]

this can't keep going like this. Russia will score if this keeps up

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

yikes....can't play in a box like that for 20 minutes and expect to win.

 

[Woodrow]

Good timeout here

 

[Tree-hugger]

This does not cut it. You'll have to play. Go Danes.

 

[Hammer15]

He reminds me of Frans Nielsen.. Small player with great defensive skills. Smart aswell

 

[NorwFin]

Good choice with the TO. Under such heavy pressure now.

 

[Finnsane]

yikes....can't play in a box like that for 20 minutes and expect to win.

Would be pretty funny if they did though

Man, Denmark is witnessing the pull power of the dark side right now
