Denmark played a good tourney, bad luck and some bad reffing made sure we didn't finish better. We had NO blowouts this year which is progress. But im honest when I say Denmark were better than Norway, but unlucky.
And to be honest, I think group Stockholm was tougher.
I don't think France and Austria would have done as well in that group. So I can't see why anyone would want Austria instead of Denmark.
Austria benefitted from qualifying to the OGQ just like Slovenia, it sparked something in them, and they were fighting not to go down. Vanek made the Austria Team competitive, Denmark beat both France and Austria a week before the Tourney but not Slovenia, and Denmark also beat Russia before the Tourney, so it was clear from the start that the Russians were not really motivated.
I think it's safe to say, that the teams that are up now, are the right teams.
But hey, let us just hope we get the joint WC - even though I have a feeling Paris and Cologne will get it, they are more international cities with 2 bigger arenas.

and again we will be in different groups so thats nice.
I would like Denmark if they would ice all those NHLer's, but currently they really are boring in my eyes. Not good, or quite contrary, not s**t enough to root for them to make it far in the tourney. Very similar to us actually.
