No surprise that Finnish clubs ****ed up the marketing again... :facepalm: 1658 in Turku. Then again it is Turku, the most gloryhunterish "sports fans" in Finland.

Good results by finnsh clubs. JYP surprised me! Well result ;)!

Have you seen SAIKs line up? Its full of juniors

They never had a chance in this tournament as all of their best players are injured, including goalie.
 
I couldn't watch the Sparta/Karpat game at all, that camera angle was way too high.

I didnt mean specifically czech rinks. I watched Lugano- Pilsen and it looked like playing on airfield. I guess it is a biggest size possible. I never noticed that much how different that hockey is. Passes are longer and slower. Evrything in NHL is faster and shorter. Only possible advantage from big size is probably that you can get tired soon if you are not used to it. Neverthless when you are good skater in shape, I dont see any value of big ice compare to NHL.
 
The camera angle in Lugano is a bit unusual as the camera is both close to the rink and high, but the rink isn't bigger than at other NLA arenas.
 
Watching kärpät- sparta and drinking beer. Beers fine, hockey...could be better.

Its just sickening to think about the amount of talent kärpät lost after last season. Aho and puljujärvi, no introduction needed. Miro aaltonen, almost ppg in the khl, mika niemi and adam masuhr khl, junttila and ikonen shl. Esa pirnes, kim hirsovits, ivan huml...wow. How did they even manage to not get into the liiga finals last season? This seasons team is a souless pack of mercanariess.
