GDT: Denmark - Switzerland

[tobu]

Denmark beat Sweden, still surreal.

 

[BruinLVGA]

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.

Only 3 shots in two periods for Denmark, and that considering that they had two powerplays too.

 

[BruinLVGA]

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.

In D I also like Geisser a lot, he plays like a veteran and he's what, 22?

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, Geisser is a stud. Improved a lot in one year. Really curious where he's going to end next year. I'm sure the Caps are watching.

Yes, rub salt in it aswell

 

[Speyer]

He has been good as well but I still think he needs to use his body more. He doesnt seem a very physical defenseman relative to his size.

 

[mosare]

1 way hockey but still only 1:0, aye

 

[jonas2244]

Didn't the Danish player there put his glove over the puck? is that allowed?

Edit: No, he didn't.

 

[SoundAndFury]

I can't tell if we should call Denmark lucky or talk about Switzerland having no finish. Which is a bit of an Achilles' heel for them traditionally. Dominating the shot clock but not scoring that many goals.

 

[mosare]

29:4 shots, ufff

thats what you get with Heinz Ehlers hockey... almost no penalties against and also few amount of goals against, but creativity doesn't thrive under these conditions...

 

[jonas2244]

A shutout with 4 saves.

 

[swisdan]

A shutout with 4 saves.

I don't remember this in a WM...

 

[QuietContrarian]

Hands down worst game I have ever seen DK play.

Was Hoffman not playing? Because him and Meier had no problems finihsing yesterday.lol

well there's a reason DK only got 4 shots. you don't get many goals with just destroying the game...

 

[stv11]

The puck didn't want to go in today, but what a defensive performance, Denmark never got any space to do anything.

Somehow unlucky today

 

[Czechboy]

That third period against the Czechs was a beautiful demonstration of 5 on 5 D from the Swiss... when they get a lead, watch out!

Well they arent that talented and didnt destoy the game, they just are kinda forced to play this way.

Thats what we did for years under krueger and its usually the only way to win with a roster like that

you pretty much contradicted yourself there :>

i didn't say anything else tho...

A shutout with 4 saves.

Which ties him with Gerber for 5 SO's at WC.

I think that the Danish goalie was the best player on the ice and Denmark played as defensive as possible. That's what is the deal for this game. Yesterday Switzerland scored 5 goals: if we want, we can score.

 

[jonas2244]

Yeah, but Gerber has some 50 save olympic shutout vs Canada in addition to that.

 

[BruinLVGA]

Yeah, but Gerber has some 50 save olympic shutout vs Canada in addition to that.

That was a game I will never forget.
