Euro Hockey Tour: 2014 Channel One Cup (Dec. 18-21)

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
Can win games even when not playing well. More talent these days. Play in the own zone needs a lot of work though.

Ericsson was leading the way.
 
Lol....can't believe we're still playing Krajicek in defence...:help:
 
our defense:shakehead so much open space in the defesinve zone, next time we need much more toughness. well deserved for Sweden, especially for second half of the game

here is the ice videomapping from today - link, not bad, but i expected something more

Did they really ruin the Finnish national anthem and leave team Finland without drinking water + harm the training with music as news tell? Did any one see them cutting the anthem five seconds in? If true, horrible.

Some comment's there say that its not even true. They say that anthem was played full lenght. If that is true, MTV is doing horrible job, what ever they are trying to do.

They cut it about five seconds short from the end, not the whole piece as Maikkari reports.

Iltalehti reports with comments from Jalonen. Weird, but no biggie.

And here you have Team Finland's equipment manager stating on the record that "only thing that was in short supply were the goals", no issues with water whatsoever.


Pretty funny btw that you need usually the even more sensationalist Iltalehti to put Maikkari straight...

Sjögren, Ullström and Lundqvist was terrible.

Lundqvist needs to be physical. If he isn't he's useless at this level. Ullström I didn't notice much(from what I understand he was feeling sick), probably not a good thing anyway, he seems to be playing too much of a finesse game(we got others for that). Sjögren at least always does his backcheck well, noticed him mostly when we defended the lead late but his line wasn't good.

i wouldn't be nit-picky here
at the Karjala Cup the locker room given by the organisators to our team was called a dog kennel. and i guess it's named so not because of the comforts it granted

As I recall, this year was the first time in Karjala Cup that the Jokerit locker room was given to Team Russia. Even Team Finland has never gotten that locker room. It's has been off limits to everyone else but Jokerit but now the owner has changed to Rotenberg... :p:

only after that trick with a dog kennel didn't work

Actually, that locker room has been used before by Team Russia, Team Sweden and Team Czech Rep. Suddenly it wasn't good enough for Team Russia so Rotenberg did the unthinkable. He is the arena team owner and also Jokerit owner so he can do what he wants. Still, he should have respected his team, Jokerit, a bit more.

Dog kennel? You really shouldn't rely so much on Russian media. Roman Rotenberg is now the owner of the arena so the state of the locker rooms is on him.

it's called so by members of the team. i don't why, maybe it's something to do with a way to get to the ice-rink. in order to get there you'd to go by elevator that could move only a couple of players at a time or something like that

Apparently now Russia did not send the proper video tape from last night game to Finland's coaching staff, instead they sended the game tape which was taped with a phone.

To be exact, that's a figure of speech by Jalonen to describe the fact that the quality of the tape is far worse than usual.

Regardless, even if most of these incidents seem to get quite a bit of extra color from the Finnish yellow media, there does appear to be quite a bit of them - so it's becoming more and more difficult to believe it's all just one big coincidence.
 
Beautiful goals for both teams in this Russia - Sweden game.

Omark <3 (Jokerit!)

Your russophopic media is getting weirder than weird.

It's probably some mistake, as other main stream media (iltasanomat) made headlines about that MTV report about anthem ect being false. MTV hasn't admitted it's mistake though.

That's bs, they got best locker in the Arena, Jokerits own. Russian media is trying to make up problems it seems.

Well it has been used by other national teams toot, so it's not like Team Russia has been singled out. Just for the record, the elevator you're talking about isn't that small, but no, it will not fit half of the team in full gear at once.
