Olimpija doesn't have chances to reach playoffs anymore so the most important player has already left - goalie Jerry Kuhn. They are left with 2 Slovene goalies - Sila and Trelc. Sila has already seen some EBEL this season and he didn't do well, Trelc is 18-year old rookie. On top of it 2 forwards have also left - Hebar and Koren. They weren't the best players in the team but it will definitely make a gap in team's depth. Defense lines got weakened as well as Ross has left, he was by far the most efficient D-man in the team. Some rumors are floating around about MacAulay (2nd best D-man) also leaving soon. Dornbirn on the other side has 9 points which makes them tied on 2nd place with Alba Volan so they have pretty good chances still to advance into playoffs. None of the players from Dornbirn played for national team at Olympics so they had more than 2 weeks to prepare for the rest of the season. 4 matches are left to be played in regular season and I'm sure Buldogs from Dornbirn will do their best to win all of them and advance into playoffs. For starters they MUST win vs Olimpija and playing against the weakened team they shouldn't have problems winning at home ice. This is the opening line, I'll probably add some handicaps later on when more bookies will offer it.
