i will say

5D.

only reason why i didnt give any higher is that black didnt resign after he lost.
very strong players..

Taking into account the fact this is blitz, their play nonetheless didn't impress me. However, it's quite clear that these are not kyu players if you look just briefly into their middle-game and the moves they play by intuition rather than reading (since there isn't much of that with those kind of time settings).

To be honest (and not to sound full of myself if it turns out to be higher-leveled than what I think it is), but it kind of looks like a game I would play, so I'm thinking these are low to mid-dan players.

I'll give them a bit more benefit of the doubt and say both players are KGS 5d.

It is a typical KGS middle to high dan blitz game. I put them at about '5d'.

Yay! I hope it is young enough to tame. Now, how do I tell my wife?
