Danish national team coach harshly criticizes IIHF’s work: It’s pathetic … – Hockey 2022

For the first time in the history of the World Cup, the Danish national team beat the Canadian national team on Monday, winning 3: 2.

The very next day, Denmark had a decisive fight to reach the quarterfinals and suffered a hopeless 1: 7 loss to Slovakia.

Denmark had to play two games in two days, while Slovakia was able to rest on Sunday and Monday.

In the group tournament, Denmark won four victories in seven matches, collecting 12 points, the highest number in the history of the tournament, with which the team failed to qualify for the quarterfinals.

“Overall, we can be proud of our performance in the tournament,” the coach of the Danish national team quotes Jatkoaika.com.

“The game against Canada was really tough. We consumed a lot of energy,” Eller said.

“I think it was a bad game calendar. It’s unfortunate what IIHF did,” the coach was critical.

“Slovakia had 66 hours of rest, we got 17. I wouldn’t call it a fair distribution.”

The Danish national team won the ninth place in the world championship, ranking one position above Latvia.

It has already been reported that Finland, as well as the USA, Canada and the Czech Republic, have entered the semi-finals of the 2022 World Championship.
