Reto Suri will wear the 26. The 24 was worn by Duri Camichel who died in a car accident early this week.

Fiala will play. Not dressed are Manzato (3rd goalkeeper), Scherwey and Helbling or Blum.

Michael Raffl will play, and so too will Brian Lebler, Thomas Raffl, Raphael Herburger, and hopefully Bernhard Starkbaum and Thomas Hundertpfund. The others might as well not dress up if they play like they did in the preliminary matches.

 

[swissexpert]

Must win game, hope they can score early.

 

[Bank]

Battle for the Alpes? The yodl in the jungle?

I'll show myself out...

 

[swissexpert]

Reto Suri will wear the 26.

on a side note, does anyone know what his plans with Tampa Bay are?
I know he re-signed with EV Zug, but it has an NHL clause in it.
Is there still a verbal agreement with Yzerman that he'll join or was that for the 14/15 season?!

 

[kabidjan18]

I can see Austria keeping it 2-2 and stealing a point if they get a big performance from Bernhard Starkbaum...

 

[Falling Snow]

5-1 Switzerland

 

[jonas2244]

The last time both teams played each other at a world championship was 2004 in Prague where Austria led 4-1 after two periods and the game ended 4-4.

 

[QnebO]

Vanek is not playing :/

Oh right, minnesota's still in the cup hunt.

 

[jonas2244]

Switzerland withouth Felicien Du Bois, might be related to an injury.

Final lineup:

Berra

Streit - Blum
Josi - Kukan
Grossmann - Geering
Helbling

Hollenstein - Romy - Brunner
Fiala - Almond - Suri
Ambühl - Trachsler - Wieser
Walker - Schäppi - Bodenmann
Bieber

 

[doug88]

We can't lose this one! Switzerland 6-3
Still a bit skeptical about Berra.. Would rather see Genoni between the pipes.

 

[jonas2244]

Ok, wrong information by the SI, Du Bois has been nominated, Helbling in the press box.

Same. I'm still advocating a "Genoni vs weaker teams - Berra vs better teams" approach.

While Berra at his best is definitely better than Genoni (and probably what we need against the top teams), Genoni is a lot more consistent than Berra and is less likely to ruin the day against an underdog.

 

[m4tt145]

3-1 Austria.

 

[aphyro]

TSN stream for this game?

Only find the one in german...

 

[The Noot]

Dat Fiala tho

 

[m4tt145]

Nice goal!

 

[swissexpert]

Must win game, hope they can score early.

well, part one is done, nice play by Fiala

 

[The Noot]

penalty shot, huh?

 

[m4tt145]

Penalty shot? Really? lol

 

[aphyro]

lol bad penalty shot

 

[The Noot]

Streit is playing well so far

 

[aphyro]

Serriously anyone with a better stream than this?! i can't stand this german one... even worser than the Swedish one, and i dident even thougt that was possible

 

[Belizarius]

Fiala looks terrific early.
