Olympics: 2022 Germany Roster Talk

[RainyCityHockey]

Sturm is playing very well.Mybee 2 line center With Peterka and Reichel

I would keep him in the bottom six maybe paired with Rieder and Kuhnhackl.
He's pretty good on faceoffs and that could be a good defensive line in the bottom six.

The top six is something for Drai, Stützle, Macek, Kahun, Reichel, Peterka, Tiffels etc.

 

[Hanji]

Playing 3 U20 players in the top 6 would be disasterous at olympic level, especially if together. What these kids possess in talent (or future talent) would be thouroughly mitigated by a lack of maturity against the world's best.

It would be smarter if Stutzle, Peterka and Reichel were all deployed on different lines. They can be more easily sheltered that way.

Maybe something like:

Reichel - Draisaitl - Kahun
Stutzle - Macek - Noebels
Tiffels - Sturm - Rieder
Kuhnhackl - Loibl - Peterka

Gawanke Looks good in the AHL and we do not have many good defencmann

I would switch Rieder and Peterka. Need Peterka higher up, he have good offensive skills. Rieder with Kuhnhackl and Loibl would be good checking unit and they all play in SHL, i name it the SHL-line.

 

[Faltorvo]

Yup, a team like Germany needs to make 2 pure checking lines, 1 elite offensive and a 50/50 line.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Does Frank Hördler have a chance? He is having a good season.

Loibl is too high up. He s not exactly a briliant offensive player.

Also i wonder why it is so many says Macek is not gonna play....the guy played for Germany in og 2018 and is one of the best german players. Why would he not be on the team?

He's a naturalized Canadian who only represented Germany during the few years he lived in Germany.

When do they plan to announce the final roster? I know the deadline is Jan 24 ...

Apparently Germany have submitted a provisional team of 35 players and have informed those players, but have decided not to announce the roster publicly until "the end of January"

Nice Roster
Mission Gold just begun

Pietta, Wolf and Hager is kind of suprising for me. Where is Eischensmid?

Mannheim had another Covid outbreak. 14 people (players + staff) were tested positive, maybe Eisenschmid is one of them?
But I could not find a list of the names, so I don't know if that is the case.

Seems like Germany wants to get more physical upfront with Wolf and Hager. Was kind of missing in the last WC. This OG is on small rinks so its probaly a good choice.

Who is nr 1 goalie?

 

[kalle wirsch]

Niederberger should be Nr 1

 

[Daeni10]

Development isn't a process that happens over night. Lots of work for every tiny bit of improvement. So for this Olympics I'd be statisfied if we could improve just 1 place in the final standings
