Sweden vs. Denmark

Last night's match against Ukraine woke the Swedes up, they were much sharper tooday. They played with speed and went straight to the net instead of waiting for the perfect pass. Denmark has a good team, with some strong younger players. Their second line is called the baby line since it has three drafted youngsters. One of them, Regin, is going to play in Sweden next year and he is really promising. He gave Finland a hard time, he skates well and has excellent hockey vision.

The Swedes basically battered the Danes, not so much with heavy hitting but rather with lots of shots and nearly constant attack. The Danes could not get the puck out of their own zone. Their goalie played brilliantly, working really hard, he was exhausted by the third period and let in a couple of easy shots. Still, he played well and the whole Danish team did pretty well. I look forward to seeing who will win between Ukraine and Denmark, that should be a good game.

The match last night was good, but the score, 7-0, said it all; Denmark is not in Sweden's class.
