True. Unfortunately, Karlsson is a bit conservative in that matter (I can tell which way the wind is blowing, if the coach is from Sweden ), and decided against testing younger guys like Røndbjerg, From and Blichfeld, who could have been interesting alternatives.

I dont think Toronto will let him play after the injury he got in the Olympic qualfier the last time. We can hope, but dont bet on it. Bjørkstrand is a no go too because of contract issues.
If he clears medicals, then Andersen will be there.
So we will have the best goalie at the tournament, but he will suffer the same he does in Toronto, having a horrible D.
And we have no excuses. No injuries or NHL-play off. These are the best D men we have...I totally agree - the defense is really the vulnerable part of that team.
As expected....
well not the semi-final or finalEmbarrassing "reporting", Denmark plays in Herning.
lines with current team imo.

I could see this team go to qf and even suprise and reach semifinal....
Yup. The last game is against South Korea, before that it's _two_ days off and a game against the weak Latvia. Ideally it would have been the best to start the tournament with those two matches. However, seeing how Vegas thrashed San Jose last night, maybe we can hope for a quick arrival of reinforcements.If the schedule had been reverse, I could see us go to qf comfortably. We finish with the 3 weakest opponents and our team might be quite strong then.
The key game is the opener against Germany. That's a must win, and the next against USA is also important. We have to beat one of the two to reach qf
Frederik Andersen will be there its confirmed

simon nielsen ? wtf.
daniel nielsen is back ! but does he really have what it takes ?
morten madsen, jakobsen, poulsen....zzzz
alexander true, markus lauridsen and from should have been on this team .
We cant produce good D's apparently. Centers though... We are swimming in them.
Give Setkov a couple of years. Also the Olivers from WJC last couple of years should be better than most of our current D-men.
