Greatest upset in history of World Championship hockey?

[Pekka]

Winston, Wow! You're still not out of the games then! You need a win over Sweden, but.. it's looking good so far.

[Winston]

Yes, but unfortunately it was just reported that Peter Forsberg scored 2-1 at 15:08.

First goal for Sweden Per-Johan Axelsson at 08:28, and equalizer for Denmark by Frederik Ã…kesson at 10:01.

Hmm...



I wish I could watch this on TV.

Edit: First period over, 2-1 Sweden.

[Pekka]

Ok.. but still not that bad, you're still in the game.. it must be a great battle of Vikings!

[Winston]

I'm sure it is!

Playing against Sweden is something special in any sport. But this hockey thing is a bit of a novelty to us. Still, would be awesome to watch in the arena.

Did Finland play today?

[Pekka]

We play as I speak.. Our games started at the same time. We're now leading Ukraine 7-0 and one minute to play in second period..

[Winston]

7-0! Not too bad, eh?

Denmark is now down 1-3. Axelsson at 28:35.

One of Denmark's best, Kim Staal, is out for the match with a dislocated shoulder.

So that's how the Swedes win their games! Dislocating people's limbs and all.

[Pekka]

Staal is out? That's bad.... I know he's a good player.
But.. you're still in the game.. and even if you don't win it, it's good to give tough game to Swedes.

[Monk]

Does a loss mean we're out?

[Pekka]

pretty much.. you still have a game against Latvia though.

[Monk]

I guess that with regards to the Danish hopes of world domination, we'll have to return to women's handball. It was kind of cool while it lasted, though. I actually considered learning the basic rules of icehockey, but thought I'd wait until we reached the semis

[raghar]

Finland Ukraine 9-0.

Just 9 oh no. Why why not 10.

[Winston]

@ Monk.

Well, it seems to be all over now.

4-1 Niklas Andersson 41:42
5-1 Mikael Renberg 43:17
6-1 Henrik Zetterberg 47:54



Couldn't they just win it marginally without having to be so cruel.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

still well played on this WC

[Winston]

Thanks OFitG.

Final result 6-1 Sweden.

As Monk said, our world domination plans have been postponed till next year due to unforeseen circumstances.

And congrats to the Finns on the Ukraine win.

[Winston]

A 2-4 defeat against Latvia today concludes Denmark's participation in this year's World Championships - and lands the A-zone newcomers on a nice and rather impressive 11th spot out of 16 nations.

We'll be back next year trying our best to stir things up a bit.

Good luck to posters with national teams in the quarter finals!
