Congratulations to the victory. Or even surprise victory perhaps, since most Danish here expressed concern for a big loss and instead got a tight win. Must feel great now, I would be very happy.
Do you think it will repeat with a new win in the next game or was it just a fluke?
And I wonder something else, since it's two games and not one. Do both teams try out different styles of gameplay and play different goalies and lines in game 1 and game 2 or what is the purpose of two games in a row?
We have won several times since 2002

Any Danes on here watched the two friendly’s vs Norway this weekend?
Congratulations with the two wins, the Danish team deserved it. Forechecking was at a level I have never witnessed from a Danish team before.
In the first game on Friday I think the Danish team had the overall advantage. In the second game I think it could have gone either way.
As a Norwegian I must say I am concerned about how the Norwegian team (specially the D-men) handled the Danish pressure in their own zone. Our training staff has a lot of work to do towards next WC.
I don’t know how much you should read in to these two games but I must say I was surprised how the Danish team played. Looks like the future is much brighter for the Danish national team under the new couch. And if you guys get some of your NHL players to join in in a WC squad, the Danish team will be a team to watch out for in the next WC (even for the big Nations) In my opinion.
The norwegian media is apparantly upset about hardt's hit on Holøs.........
And Thoresen is PISSED.....which is ofcourse SO hilarious. Has he never watched a video of how he plays?
Old Norse Hockey: Did not see the game but don't be worried. You guys usually show up for the WC....Or thoresen will piss people off enough for them to start doing dirty hits and that will motivate that old viking spirit......Just kidding

I'm pretty sure you must mean Tollefsen, not Thoresen.
The only thing you could argue was wrong with the Hardt hit was if the head was the principal point of impact. From the video, I can't see if there was an elbow and he certainly didn't leave his feet or made a blindside hit or late or anything like that.
But, having Tollefsen complain about other players playing dirty is quite amusing...
ps. I see that Danish fans seem to think Tollefsen plays dirty. Are there any other players that Danish fans don't like, and are there some players that Norwegian fans don't like? Danish/Norwegian players. It's interesting to hear.
Have Thoresen said anything about the game? If so, I haven’t read that.

Not the dirtiest player I've ever seen. He dishes some bad hits out sometimes but he's just one of those players you love to hate for a rivaling team. Jannik Hansen or Nichlas Hardt might bring out the same emotions with Norwegians.
I think Oliver Lauridsen might take that mandle shortly. He was a BEAST in our system where he gets asked to do exactly what he is good at. So it never became a problem that he skates with the speed of an elephant.
