Any reason why Gerber is ahead of Aebischer for the swiss team? More experienced or are they giving a shot at Gerber before Aebi takes over in a few years?
Thx.

Gerber has a better history with our national team than Aebischer. This is why Krueger trusts him more. Plus he's played a lot more this season while Aebischer struggled at getting enough games under his belt to keep his form.Mephisto said:Any reason why Gerber is ahead of Aebischer for the swiss team?

What exactly is the reason for your Gerber hatred? Seems like you visit Switzerland threads for the sole reason to bash him...wassup77 said:Because the coach is out of his mind. Gerber is the Tommy Salo of Switzerland! somebody make it stop please
Perhaps he is a Faerjestad fan or a fan of a team that got kicked out by them. But actually it looks like he was making fun, he used the smily.Strizzi said:What exactly is the reason for your Gerber hatred? Seems like you visit Switzerland threads for the sole reason to bash him...

Plus there is the style argument that stv11 already made: while Aebischer is probably the better shot-stopper, he gives up more rebounds than Gerber, which hurts considering that our defenders are not good at clearing the crease. Gerber's style fits our team better.SwisshockeyAcademy said:The Olympic prelims in 2002 , the Swiss started with Aebischer but he did not steal the show. Gerber came in in game 3 and played great but it was too late by then. Gerber used that as a springboard to an NHL career and has been excellent, even showing up Giguere in Anaheim. I see no reason why Gerber would not be the #1. Aebischer is not Swiss cheese either but Gerber is often better.

stv11 said:Results clearly speak in Krüger's favour. Before 1998, Switzerland could stay in the top pool only twice (in 91 and 92). Since, they have 7 consecutives top ten finnish. Riesen and Von Arx played themselve out of the team and have only themselve to blame.
Paterlini is questionnable considering his poor season, but Seger and Della Rossa were lock to make the team. Ziegler, Forster and Bezina were the other questionnable choice, but the results are there.Tritsche said:I know that, but for me he give too much the same player the chance to play. Seger, Della Rossa, Paterlini shouldn't go always to the games. But year the stats give him the credit...
Better than I expected, considering he didn't allow many dangerous rebounds. He did a fine job, but didn't steal the game, the defense deserves most of the credit for limiting the number of quality shots.Color@do @v@l@nche said:russia vs switzerland 3-3
how aebi played?

tsunami said:Seems to me it is the coach who doesn't want to have Von Arx on the team, which actually is a shame because he is one of the better Swiss player, if not the best
About Riesen, can you tell me which Swiss player scored more goals during the regular season this year ??? How about GWG ???
