If you count Grabner as key player then Andreas Nödl definitly is a key player. And Mario Altmann should be the top defenseman of the team.gopher said:
Austria has won their 2nd game of the tournament vs Italia 5-1.
Stefan Horneber was in goal.
Goals:
Rotter (Pinter)
Raffl (Rotter, Pinter)
Rotter (Nödl)
Nödl (Rotter)
Quantschnig (Bodemann, Lindgren)
1987 born Rotter and Nödl are starting to make some noise...

Rotter is quite a fashy talent but small. I have him ahead of Olimb but a year younger. I think he'd be a good late-round steal for someone in this draft.
Yes, he is small. I have seen him play in the second austrian last season and in the first league this season and he doesn't back down from anybody. He has good balance too, so it is not easy to hit him off the puck.steblick said:
As much as I like Rotter, I even like Nödl more. He is bigger and uses his body very well to protect the puck. What I like most about Nödl is his patience. He is able to keep the puck and make a deadly pass or a shot at the right time.
Aagh. Britain goes 3-0 down to France in the first ten minutes.. heroically pull it back to 3-3 with 8 minutes left then let two more in to lose 5-3. Grr.
Considering Britain only lost 1-0 to Austria who beat Italy 5-1, hopefully Britain will beat Italy too and avoid relegation. They never do what they're supposed to though.

go kim johnsson said:I drafted Lars Erik Spets on EHM and he rules for me. What a find
Does he have a future in the NHL?
His swedish coach Tommy Sandlin (multiple Swedish Championship winner, also won a gold medal at a world championship in the '80s) thinks so.
Just noticed the GB squad is quite a lot younger with only seven '85 guys on it and seven '87 guys playing which hopefully means good experience for returning players (if they survive the division). The KAZ and NOR squads have seventeen and fourteen '85 guys respectively. Although I think KAZ's goalie is very young, another '87.
AUT's squad is interesting.. they only have three '87 guys but they might be the best three players - Nodl, Rotter and Grabner.

If we can win against norway and austria, (and italia) then next step : elite!

Whoa.. Kazakhstan hammering the Austrians 7-1 after only two periods. I didnt expect that.
Apparently the Austrians arent playing badly, the Kazakhs have just been very very good. (even without Pushkaryev)

Norway won 5-4 against France. Very tied game... France rallied from 0-3 to 3-3 but fell again 5-3 before a late goal. France dominated with 36 shoot to 23.
Norway is now the clear favorite for the #1 spot with 3 wins in 3 games.

Their 85 group is strong and but remember that this group plus Pushkarev failed at the Under-18s two years ago. There is a huge gap between division 1 and the elite teams.

Hah! Taste of your own medicine
Looks like Britain are the clear favorites for relegation. Hopefully such a young group will come back better in the next two years.
Congrats to Norway.. they also hammered GB 10-3. Clear champions.
Finn - what do you remember about his playing style for us British fans? Any details would be much appreciated.

well I remember him scoring like 4 goals a game... very offensive.... great leader (was captain) although he did have a bit of a attitude sometimes IIRC.
