Seeing this late but this is total insanity. Can't find anything more than the six minute highlight video on youtube. I would love to see the final three minutes in full.

Denmark was losing 0-1 with under two and a half minutes left and had to pull their goalie and won in regulation. I guess if it was going to happen maybe it had to happen this way - tight score game where Canada gets way too complacent with their lead and flips from leading to trailing in a very short period without enough clock left to recover. But obviously I did not watch it myself.

In the second period Denmark even believed they scored the game's first goal for a moment, I think the whistle wasn't loud enough. Absolutely should not have been a goal, Sanheim recognized the play was dead and stopped playing, but Binnington and the shooter did not and it's noteworthy because those moments can be demoralizing.
