He will be sorely missed
He will be back buddy, as a color analyst and maybe even a coach in the future
Such a legend.

He definately will - but would have loved to se him next year in DK.
I'm sure he wouldn't have retired from the national team if he felt that he'd make next year's team.

Agreed, didnt think he had it in him, but he still works on the nt.
He could serve well on the 4th line at a last wc at home.
And why is he ending his NT carreer now? I mean, as you said, he could wait one year and say goodbye at home WC.

I'm not able to answer that. I mostly watch NHL and never read too much about Danish hockey or follow the league. Just watch Green on the NT and love that he is always playing his heart out.
My guess would be to avoid the potentially awkward situation where next year rolls around and he's not good enough to make the team but you don't want to cut your long-term captain. In that situation whether you include him or not, no one looks good.
Next years team should be strong and there may not be a spot for him. I would think it's reasonable to expect 3 of the 6 NHL forwards next year as opposed to only 1 this year. If Niklas Jensen goes back to Europe next year he would be a lock as well. The top 2 lines at last years juniors also look promising and have a chance for spots in the coming years. I'd think From makes next years team and 1-2 of True, Rondbjerg, Krag, Blichfield and Andersson could be in the conversation if they make a jump next year.
With that being said a year is a long ways away. If Green can maintain his current level of play it wouldn't shock me if he was convinced to come back for one final Worlds at home.

The most eye catching piece was not the goal, Egger made a mistake and was punished for it; The Danes celebrating by going to their bench for congrats was the most embarrassing part of the whole sequence.
Tip of the cap to Green, hopefully Denmark have their horses for next year and host well.

LOL.
What an ending for Italy. This is just sad, incredibly sad.Italy has no business on this level, and should never advance again if they are so utterly bad.
We earned the promotion to be there, sorry.

As the Swedish commentators just mentioned, why do these hilarious own goals always happen against Denmark?
I can't stop laughing. This might even be better than the Japanese own goal.
