Any news on the Swiss World Championship team?

Do you think Patrik Bartschi has a good chance to make the team?

Patrick Bärtschi is injured and won't be in the team. :(

Current team (for matches vs. Germany without the players of the best 3 teams which are still in the playoffs).

goalies:

-Mona (Fribourg)
-Züger (Ambri)

defenders:

-Du Bois (Ambrì)
-Forster (Davos)
-Gerber (Fribourg)
-Gobbi (Ambri)
-Höhener (Servette)
-Blindenbacher (Kloten)
-Guignard (Kloten)
-Kobach (Ambri)

forwards:
-Ambühl (Davos)
-Duca (Zug)
-Fischer (Zug)
-Liniger (Ambri)
-Monnet (Langnau)
-Oppliger (Zug)
-Paterlini (Davos)
-Plüss (Kloten)
-Reichert (Kloten)
-Steiner (Langnau)
-Wirz (Fribourg)

Missing are the players from Bern, Lugano and Zürich.

I forgot that also some players from NHL and minor leagues will make the team.

Aebischer will probably not come due to the playoffs but Gerber will surely be there (and build the goalie-duo with Marco Bührer from Bern). Also Bezina will surely make the team as he played great last year (and his AHL team misses the playoffs). Vauclair is also a candidate.

Yeah, I saw it up at our board.

Thanks, though. Ever see Bartschi play? Any thoughts? Also, do you know how he got hurt?

See the other post about Bärtschi ;)

Don't know about how he injured. :dunno:
But he should be back next season. ;)

Any idea when the acutal roster will be listed?

Goran Bezina can't wait to go play!

WC-roster will be presented tomorrow after the game vs. Denmark.
Bezina will quite surely make the team.

Not participate will Conne, Jobin and very probably Jenni because of injuries.

26 Martin Gerber (Anaheim/NHL)
1 Ronnie Rüeger (Lugano)
Defence:
29 Beat Forster (Davos)
33 Steve Hirschi (Lugano)
22 Olivier Keller (Lugano)
9 Reto Kobach (Ambrì)
31 Mathias Seger (ZSC Lions)
11 Martin Steinegger (Bern)
7 Mark Streit (ZSC Lions)
3 Julien Vauclair (Binghamton/AHL)
Offense:
16 Andres Ambühl (Davos)
57 Goran Bezina (Springfield/AHL)
18 Luca Cereda (Bern)
12 Patric Della Rossa (ZSC Lions)
21 Patrick Fischer (Zug)
35 Sandy Jeannin (Lugano)
30 Marcel Jenni (Färjestad/SWE)
23 Thierry Paterlini (Davos)

36 Marc Reichert (Kloten)
32 Ivo Rüthemann (Bern)
97 Adrian Wichser (Lugano)
27 Valentin Wirz (Fribourg)
38 Thomas Ziegler (Bern)

I hope that Vauclair will be here, because the Senators seems to have him called to the NHL-squad after Binghamton lost their playoff-matches.

The Swiss are gonna move Goran to a forward? UGHHHHHHHH

Becaus Vauclair is still in the play - offs with the sens, Krueger nominated Patrick Oppliger from the EV Zug to join. He will be with the team from thuesday away... Hope that Krueger didnt make a mistake.

But Vauclair isn't playing, he's just watching them playing.
Why can't the Senators not let him go ? :dunno:

@bezina
in the current situation (vauclair not coming) bezina will probably play defender.
He can play both and showed at the last WC that he's an excellent attacker also. ;)

He is really good up front but he would rather be on the point..LOL

Springfield move him to winger and once he got adjusted he played awesome got the goals and got the NHL recall...
