My money is on Norway - Stupid mountain monkies, always have our number, even when they should not.

However, also gotta go with the last 4 friendlies all in the last 6 months against Norway have ended with 3 Norwegian wins and 1 Danish.
Also gotta add, that imo, Norway are on the up, Denmark are on the down (Talentwise).

Before anyone gets their panties in a twist, "mountain monkey" is what Danes call Norwegians in loving fun (Fjell Aber) In Danish. I am sure my wonderful brethren have some brotherly jabs at us

Scandinavian rivalry.
Hoping for a good one, with lots of goals and heat.

Still consider Denmark as favorites in this one though, even witout the NHL'ers.
Denmark has a very experienced team now, unlike ours.

We haven't got a victory vs Denmark in WC since 2014 or 2015 or something. And Denmark has beaten us in the last 3 or 4 WC games or so, if Im not mistaken.

Now im starting to realisee how Danish fans felt in the years 2006 until 2014/15 before they finaly beat us in WC (I think it was in 2018)
I really want our team to finaly get a WC victory vs the Danes again, but I think it's to early.
In 2-3 years I think we have a better chance.

Will see, hoping for an exiting game anyways.

I wish I was as optimistic. I love and hate Norway exactly because of our Hockey rivalry. That period you speak of, I loathed you guys. I felt like no matter what, you guys won, even when we had a better team, had had a better tourney, you always got under our skin for some reason.

I hope Denmark takes it, but I have a sneaky feeling Norway wins this one

Man that was a beautiful setup from Zucs and great finish by Brandsegg-Nygard

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Matthias From danglin... dude is so underrated

 

[NikoEhlers]

Probably a bit unlucky not to get a couple of PP chances here at the end of the second, Denmark.

But Zucarello with the extra quality that is the difference in this game.

A bench entry hit..................nice!!

If there is one constant at the WHC it's that Vikingstad will be playing for Norway. Feels like that guy has been playing for 30 years at this thing. I don't know if there is a Norwegian hockey hall of fame but he should be a shoo in once his playing days are over.

This is actually only his 2nd one, his Dad played in a bunch though.

Ah..........is that the deal? didn't know that, I had no idea, I assumed it must still be the original Vikingstad.

God he played for a long time that guy.

 

[Hasbro]

Denver versus New Orleans?

Little early for an NFL GDT.

 

[jj cale]

Denmark simply can't get anything going, good work by Norway.

 

[Summer Rose]

I see this game isn't over yet; I guess I'll tune in!

 

[jj cale]

Danes sure have them pinned in now though.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I'd have a hard time not waving that off. Yeah, the puck is probably in, but Thoreson pivoted him into the net.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Denmark seems really hesitant to go North and put pucks on net

 

[FinPanda]

That was definitely most likely a goal but there is literally no proof it was in so good call.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

What was Denmark doing there lol??

 

[Summer Rose]

Well, that seals it. Good win for Norway.

 

[jj cale]

Norway salts it, good job today

 

[FinPanda]

Denmark lol, awful

NHL Network cuts off the feed during the celebration. Guess I don't get to watch the player of the game presentation and Norwegian national anthem.
