– We can beat everyone – Dagsavisen
The Danes have done everything they can to secure themselves and the most affordable opponents in the rematch for a quarter-final place.
– We play in a way that allows us to beat all teams. We play well defensively and if we score on our opportunities, I think we have a chance against everyone, Patrick Russel said after the game.
After the victory against Switzerland, the Danes rose to second place in their group. Three goals in the second period brought the Danes on a victory course.
It was a tough start to the match when Switzerland took the lead in the first period, but the Danes absolutely kept up. Captain Peter Regin equalized directly in the second period when he in overtime got free near goal. Shortly afterwards, Frederik Storm put the puck in goal via a Swiss skate.
After one minute and seven seconds of the second period, the Danes were ahead. The Swiss became frustrated and played on four expulsions. Halfway through the period, Mikkel Bødker pulled in from the right and put in 3-1.
The Danes, who beat Norway in the qualification, have impressed in the Olympic game. On Saturday, they had the puck a lot. Shortly into the third period, Nicolai Meyer put in 4-1. There was excitement when Switzerland reduced to times, but Frederik Storm put himself into the match’s last goal 58 seconds before the end.
