UK wont be as naive as last time.

And after that DK showing against the Swiss, this will probably be closer than people think.

2-1 Denmark.

 

[tobu]

Calling a tie after 60 minutes.

 

[filip85]

Denmark starting to roll, can't see GBR do anything.

 

[Siamese Dream]

This is clearly a more even matchup than the previous 2 games but GB still seem to be playing very negatively

Nobody realised how much time they actually have or has the confidence to carry the puck, no controlled breakouts or zone entries, they're still just throwing blind long passes through the neutral zone and icing the puck all the time

 

[Great99]

2-1 Denmark after 1p , it will end up very bad for UK

Not necessarily. Slovakia only beat GB 2-1 and we beat Russia 3-1.

Suuuuuper disapointed with DK this year...

 

[PanniniClaus]

The Brits have some good size and experience and are really bolstered by Bowns play. They desperately need to get some younger legs into this program though. They have too many mid to upper 30's players. Not sure if the Brit fans know if any other pros looking for citizenship or if they have any juniors lookin to break through.

Wtf kind of weak call is that?

Yep,
Bowns has kept them in both this game, and the SVK game.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Not sure I like what coach Ehlers has done to this team.

And please for the love of god, move this tourney, so small countries lile DK, can ice their best for once....

Quite a few younger players included in this tournament. Sam Jones, Josh Tetlow, Sam Duggan and the obvious one being Liam Kirk.

Some other debuts - for David Clements, Lewis Hook, Ciaran Long - who may not be up and coming, but have plenty of gas in the tank.

A lot of the really old players in the team are pros who have gotten citizenship. That is the age profile of guys who come to play in the UK. We tend not to just let anyone play too, all our dual nats were born here, have a parent or some other direct connection to the country.

There are some interesting prospects starting to knock on the door. But we're punching well above our weight at this level. Hopefully multiple seasons at this level leads to added investment and interest.

 

[QuietContrarian]

Horrible Danish period - Should be much better against a team of ageing Brit league players..

Boedker seems like he would rather be golfing.

True is sluggish, and Jesper B Jensen making some awful passes.

I’m sorry, can you repeat what you said? I don’t think you were right

Scott Conway is missing as well. Any other notables turn down an invitation?

Scott Conway, Stevie Lee, Robert Farmer all missing. Evan Mosey was injured.

Travis Erhardt (brother of Dallas) played in the Olympic qualifiers - but hasn't played at all since Covid.

 

[Siamese Dream]

Joseph Lewis playing in DEL2 also not on the roster this year, he went in 2019

Looking at the younger generation we have Cade Neilson and Liam Steele committed to division 1 NCAA schools

 

[SoundAndFury]

Boedker seems like he would rather be golfing.

He looks like that every time he plays hockey, that's why his career went the way it did.

Talking about young prospects, GB is in a fine place. They definitely aren't going to drop in level anytime soon. Although their real level is probably more of D1A strength but for 2nd tournament in a row they are showing that doesn't mean they can't beat some teams in the elite.

P.S. Now lets just take time to consider Sweden lost to this Danish team.

 

[Siamese Dream]

2-2!

GB have been looking like the better team in the last 5 minutes

 

[jonas2244]

GBR ties it up.

 

[stastny12]

It´s coming home
