Austria vs Italy OT 1:2

Why is Diego Kostner scratched?

 

[Hellraising Senator]

Austria vs Italy OT 1:2

Really, Italy gonna double their goals scored here? I don't buy it. Austria is a better team, unquestionably.

Italy will be relegated after this tournament. They are by far the worst team here. And that pool includes Great Britain !

 

[ForumNamePending]

Any chance of this game being canceled and having both teams relegated?

This edition of Italy has got to be the least competitive team to play at the elite level in decades, and Austria has been kinda awful as well.

 

[Uncle Rotter]

Italy 1-0 in SO, Austrian goalie puts puck into own net.

 

[Retroglyphs]

I'm negatively surprised by Team Austria at this tournament, but they stay in the A group.
Team Austria 4 - Team Italy 2

He's injured.

Yes right! But the better team must not necessarily to win. Austria has much pressure and Italy has nothing to lose. This is the reason why i bet for an upset.

 

[Namejs]

If I was Austrian, I would probably reconsider being a fan of their national team if they somehow managed to lose this one

 

[schmiedi]

I think its impossible to lose a Game against Italy, but if there should be a way to lose i am quite sure austria will find this way

 

[BalticWarrior]

Truly a clash of titans

This year is all about buying time to allow the next generation to get here...

Need to stay up so that they get another year to develop.

Youve got Rossi, who else?

 

[kabidjan18]

Youve got Rossi, who else?

Moreso defensive help, because look at our defensemen...

Ulmer will be back. Viveiros will be back. Bernd Wolf looks really promising. The young defensemen like Julian Payr, David Maier, and maybe Thimo Nickl (next year might be a stretch for that) look really promising as well.

 

[HungryFrank]

I feel Italy wins. They are good at winning when necessary. Austria was bad at this tournament.

 

[jonas2244]

I saw Payr a few times, I still wonder why he was scratched when I see who is here playing for Austria and how good (or better how bad) they are.

He should be here. He's not ready to be a #1 Dman by any stretch of the imagination, but he is good enough to be here.

This is kinda scary because I will miss the second half of the game for a movie, so I'll find out whether or not we stayed up upon the lights turning on in the cinema.

Get your priorities in order!

 

[BalticWarrior]

Rare to see a game were both teams are so bad they cant capitalize on each others mistakes

 

[BalticWarrior]

Oh god Kabidjan.... im so sorry. Please dont go on a bender, buddy.

 

[kabidjan18]

Possession doesn't matter for shit if you can't get in positions to score...

 

[ozo]

Awww no... Kabidjan, rally your troops ffs!
