Austria's ice hockey team is subject to France: debutant Tolvanen disappointed!

Austria's national ice hockey team had to take a bitter defeat in the first game of the four-nation tournament in Oslo. The young team lost 2: 5 against France. The newly naturalized goalkeeper Atte Tolvanen was the focus of his debut, but has to grab behind in the fifth minute after a shot by Joubert is deflected by Colomban. Despite an interim compensation in the power play by Kainz in the 11th minute, the ÖEHV selection could not take the momentum into the second third and then fell back into old patterns.

France took the technical mistakes of the Austrians mercilessly and set off to 4: 1 at half -time. It was particularly disappointing that the defensive performance in the critical phase between the 33rd and 37th minute was catastrophic, which prompted team boss Roger Bader to say that the French victory was too high for what had really happened on the ice. "We were better in the first third," said Bader, "but in the middle third we overwhelmed." A total of Tolvanen was able to ward off 19 out of 24 shots, which corresponds to a catch rate of 79 percent. The strong performance of the French keeper Junca with a fishing rate of 93 percent makes the inferior clear.
