Denmark has always struggled against the Swiss.

6-2 SUI.

 

[stv11]

I can't see an Ehlers coached team allow 6 goals.

 

[jonas2244]

I wouldn't give too often Meier such space.

 

[QuietContrarian]

I can't see an Ehlers coached team allow 6 goals.

I hope you are correct

 

[QuietContrarian]

Haven’t really followed the news around team Denmark - How come Bjorkstrand isn’t playing?

 

[jonas2244]

TIIIIIMO-time

The zone-entry from Hischier is from another world.

 

[mosare]

Whatta goal

 

[QuietContrarian]

Too easy, can definitely see SUI score 6.

Meier is very good for his NT, I never come away really impressed when he plays for SJ, but for SUI he is always a factor.

 

[QuietContrarian]

If only Philip Larsen and Bjorkstrand at least were on Team Denmark.

 

[FinnishDevil]

I could honestly see the Swiss win gold. Well balanced team with enough star power.

 

[QuietContrarian]

DK not in this game at all...

Don’t think I have ever seen the Danes have a good game against the Swiss.

Only team left they have never beaten.

 

[QuietContrarian]

I can already tell this game is a pass from me.

No effort at all.

And I smell a spanking incoming.

Over to the Canada game it is.

 

[mosare]

Only 1 shot of DK so far in 18 min, mmm

 

[stv11]

Pretty much the first period one could have expected with Switzerland dominating the play but not that many clear scoring chances. Denmark probably hoped to get more counterattacks but Switzerland did a great job getting the puck back quickly.

 

[Jon Riley]

I will miss Ambühl when he will decide to stop playing

 

[jonas2244]

Halfway through the game and Denmark has 3 shots on goal.

Absolute legend in International Hockey. The man competes so hard, I've loved watching him through the years at this tournament.

Also fun to see Diaz again, still remember him first arriving in Montreal as a rookie. Always had that wonderful fluent skating.

Switzerland storming Denmark like a mid January storm. Constant pressure everywhere on the ice.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Lauridsen not playing nice there... Pretty close to suspension IMO.

 

[mosare]

Halfway through the game and Denmark has 3 shots on goal.

Still 3 shots after 40min

 

[jonas2244]

We're just missing the second goal. Shots 19-3, one-way hockey.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Incredibly impressed with Hoffman so far.

 

[jonas2244]

Incredibly impressed with Hoffman so far.

Yeah, looks like an NHL-player.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Denmark look horribad, and the Swiss look like they are on steroids...

Worst game I have EVER seen DK play, yes even worse than big losses to powerhouses, at least there they have contributed to the game with shots and some possession.

It seems the puck is glued to the Swiss, and in 3 vs 1 scrums (the swiss being 1) they come out with the puck.

 

[Speyer]

Moser is much improved from the first game. He has been one of our best defensemen today. On the flipside Atalo has not been very good just like yesterday and Diaz' age seems to start showing on the international level. Ambühl on the other hand apparently still has something in the tank. I wouldnt be surprised if he gets antother tournament and secures that all time games played record.
