Denmark has now played two of the World Championship's most remarkable matches.
In the World Championship in Stockholm, the team lost to Canada with 0–47.
The biggest victory margin of all time.
76 years later, Denmark beats Canada 2–1 and pulls off the biggest upset in history.
Many have considered Poland's 6–4 win over giant Soviet in 1976 to be the biggest upset in history.
That was about group play.
That Denmark beats the World Championship's most gold medals – 28 titles – in a quarterfinal is probably even bigger.
First time in semi
For the first time, Denmark is in the semifinal in the World Championship in ice hockey.
It's completely insane what we've done. To win against some of the best players in the world and send Denmark to the semifinal for the first time ever. It's completely insane, said goalie Dichow to Viaplay.
The 24-year-old goalie from Vojens saved 39 of 40 shots in the late turnaround where Nikolaj Ehlers and Nick Olesen – with 49 seconds left – scored the goals.
Qualification hero in HV71
Frederik Dichow was one of the qualification heroes for HV71 when the Jönköping team stayed up and beat Modo with 4–2 in matches.
Dichow was benched for a period during the past season.
Now he's playing the semifinal against Switzerland on Saturday in Globen.
I've never even dreamed of getting to a World Championship semifinal, now we're here, said Dichow to Ekstrabladet.
According to Aftonbladet, Ekstrabladet's website crashed after the upset due to reader pressure.
The question is what happens if Denmark makes it to the World Championship final?
The goal must be to reach the final now. First, we need to land on our feet and then we need to put this behind us and focus on the next one. In June, we can sit down and enjoy this, said Denmark's Swedish national team coach Mikael Gath to Ritzau.
