Stuetzle has been a lot better certainly, but that Germany team is a lot better than Austria.
I would disagree; aside from Stuetzle, Rossi and Peterka, the make up of the rosters are very similar, guys that will play their careers in Europe and likely never get a sniff in the NHL.
 
Got to have high expectations for a player to be disappointing, no? That’s why Raymond and Holts have been disappointing for me. I expected them to dominate. Costmar, who I hadn’t really even heard of before, has been surprisingly good.

Besides Harnisch and one or two others, the Austrians aren't even close to the Germans in terms of talent. If you made up the best team out of a pool of the two teams you'd have Rossi, Warneschitz, Harnisch, maybe Peeters, and a bunch of Germans.

The lopsided scores would've been much worse if Warneschitz hadn't been in goal.
 
Brock Faber has been the only player that I’d never really heard of before that’s become someone to watch. He seems pretty good.
