Any idea between Dahm and Nielsen, is there clear #1 or are they gonna be swapping for now?
Dahm is the clear one, but nielsen will play. It was unexpected that Nielsen went, but Janne Karlsson replaced him with nielsen close to the tournament start. George Sørensen will be the 3rd goalie, there to learn.
Ehlers will light it up.
Ever since the 2015 WJC, Denmark has risen in the hockey world. They were the darlings in Toronto, Canadian fans took the Danes in as their own. You guys have some high end skill up front.
Denmark will be playing in the Quarters. Probably won't advance further, but that's a big win for them.
Normally i would say yes we would have a chance at QF, when we have 3 nhlers...but we are so weak on center this year...everything conspired against us on the position where we are already weakest.
Frans Nielsen is still playing NHL...Our 3 best european based centers are injured or declined for personal reasons. Peter Regin and Jesper Jensen are injured and Julian Jakobsen declined.
Our captain Morten Green would not have been selected this year if we have not had this problem...Will be his 18th world championships
QF will be hard. There are a lot of teams at denmarks level in this tournament, and the group is hard. Survival is always the first goal, then we can look at QF after that.
But if Frans Nielsen goes out of the PO and comes(he is UFA, so its doubtful, but possible), we will have two very good nhl centers....
Freddy Andersen and Mikkel Boedker said no due to contract negotiations
I'm glad to hear something like this from all the way from there. While I only saw Denmark vs. Switzerland in the U-20 this past winter in Finland, the Canadians were rooting for Danes like it was their boys playing, it warmed my heart. I may be a Finn, but Danes have a special place in my heart!
I was so proud watching that tournament...the boys played their damn heart out, and it was so cool to see the canadians root for our young guns again even when the tournament was in finland.
2015 World Junior Championship. Look at the Ovation the Toronto crowd gives for the Danes. The Canadian fans were behind them all tournament in the Toronto pool.

Those Danes played with heart, Canadian fans will always appreciate the type of effort they gave. The Danes have been our unofficial second team since.
Whenever Denmark isn't playing Canada, we'll be behind them. Hopefully our crowd and support helps them.
There will be three players from the 2015 world juniors, and 1 from the 2016 world juniors on this team.
The goalie in start tournament George Sørensen will be the 3rd goalie in this tournament, the 2015 captain Mikkel Aagaard will play, and ofcourse Ehlers...And Mathias From from this years world juniors has been selected after a great camp.
