Okay

Okay

Its just shocking. But its not big difference. But Denmark have a edge. But with all forwards prospects coming out of Slovakia lately, its probaly gonna change.

When it comes to D and G....i dont know. Probaly close there too.

 

[Czechboy]

It's definitely close.

Tatar is a bit below his usual production and I'd expect him to improve his point total as he is a pretty consistent regular season player.

Ehlers is just flat out awesome and one of my favs.

I think the Euro Slovaks might be better than the Euro Danes.

Slovaks would have more depth for sure at forward.

D wise it has to be Slovakia
G wise Andersson is very good and so is Halak

It's close. I'd lean towards Slovakia but I may be bias.

 

[Antiillafire]

I don’t think defense is close. Cernak, Fehervary, Jaros, Sekera. Larsen would be the best challenger but he’s been pretty average this season. Ceresnak is tied for first in defenseman scoring in Czech league and has been overall excellent. Even Jaros would be above all danish dman except Larsen. And it’s going to be an even bigger gap. Nemec will step in and potentially Knazko, in the future Strbak and Chromiak.

Forwards Denmark has the advantage.

 

[alko]

And we still as a favorite before every game Slovakia vs Denmark... When will it change?

 

[Henkka]

5 years and Slovaks are better again.

 

[Speyer]

Slovakia is just existing a cycle of weak player output. With Slafkovsky, Dvorsky and others coming out of the pipeline this will change real fast.

Where is Kristof? And others centers Roman, Griger, (Dano)? Others wings like Liska, Bakos, Holesinsky, Kelemen, Regenda... DEN have Bjorkstrand and Ehlers, but slovaks have more depth.

Danish forwards are better, there is no doubt about it.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Yeah, "our 4th liners are marginally better than your 4th liners therefore it balances out your top line being vastly superior to ours" is hardly a sound argument. For the time being, Danish forwards are significantly better.

Frankly, even the whole "more depth" argument is very questionable considering True and Blichfeld are doing very well in the AHL.

This is a very Eye of Ra thread. Just looking at the title you'd have no question who made it.

Its kudlas lineup. i took it from him.

DEN have more than Ehlers and Bjorkstrand. They have N.Jensen, Regin, Eller, Nielsen, Bödker, Rondbjerg, True. Danes have lots of depth.
