GDT: Group S • May 6 • Denmark 3, Italy 4 (OT)

[Justinov]

Can any dane answer me what other reinforcments are you waiting from NHL?

None. Regin injured. Bødker playoff for Phoenix. Nicklas Jensen injured in AHL match. Oliver Lauridsen too young and perhaps not ready yet - big heavy defender more for NHL than big rink just yet.

Can't see anything but a Danish walkover. Must win game.

Okay, then i`m a bit more optimistic about game against danes.

 

[BalticWarrior]

[TollefsenFan]

Can't believe you said that..

where is your sense of humor ?

 

[Like Wall]

What the fudge! Didn't see it coming. Although there were warnings that Italians might surprise us this year.

 

[YARR123]

No Denmark, no!

 

[gretskidoo]

What the hell happened? Denmark taking them too lightly while focusing on their games against Sweden and Russia?

They better show up tomorrow.. I don't want to watch any blowouts.

 

[saintflannel]

Oh, wow...

I have nothing new to add, but your nickname rubs me the wrong way. It's too Latvian.

It's actually a "phonic" spelling of the Gaelic for volunteer.

In Latvian "ogle" means "coal".

Or maybe Italy played better...

 

[Justinov]

Italy played better in the 1+3 period. Denmark far best in the second. The key to italy is their physical game. If they meet a team that keep up the tempo they'll get run over, but any team that underestimates and loose tempo and initiative the Italians can challenge. As i have said before. When the italians smell points they seem to lift themselves.
Latvia and Norway have to be careful and secure early secure leads. The German-Italian game showed how to play the Italians; the Danes how not to.

 

[gretskidoo]

Or maybe Italy played better...

Never claimed otherwise?

 

[sr edler]

Italy played better in the 1+3 period

not really, denmark was better most of the first period then the two goals came from nowhere, danish defense in general was a little sloppy

the gw goal was pretty though

Forza Italia

Can't believe they won a hockey game
