Champions Hockey League 2018-2019

It just means Bern takes CHL very seriously . I'll be honest here, the fact that CHL starts before the SHL season puts my team at a major disadvantage, as we're nowhere near having a complete roster before SHL start. We fill the holes as the season goes on. For example, the FW side is expected to be completely different by the end of december/start of January. Last season we played some CHL games with only 3 lines. This season we came into trouble on the FW side already in the second match against Salzburg, where we didnt have enough FWs to fill the 4th line

That is not a point.

First period of Bolzano and IFK has been good. But that 'top scorer' blue on the back of the shirt is dreadful to look at. Just looks garish and tacky.

Anyone think Hakanpää (Kärpät) might be NHL level D-man. (while i write this he makes a mistake )
Has had a crazy development curve, last season was crazy good
but saw an end prematurely, due to injury.

Was one of the best d-men last season in the Sm-Liiga.

Jani Hakanpää, big fella, 2010 4th round pick (Blues)
still a man in his prime,26.

His skating has improved so much, so much.
Has found offensive side from his game,
not lost his defensive side nor physical part.

Bolzano 2-1 against IFK in Italy in the second period. Jumalauuta!

Bolzano fans are incredible to watch and listen to as they constantly are singing and waving flags

Storhamar up 2-0 on Djurgardens with 15 to play in the third.

 

[Go Donbass]

Wow, 3-1 Bolzano now.

 

[Go Donbass]

Mountfield beat Rouen 3-2, and Karpat are crushing Nurnberg 6-2 after two. So second place in that group will no doubt come down to the second game between Mountfield and Nurnberg.

 

[Urbanskog]

It seems like the attendance has improved overall for this season.

Karpat fans not trying to help that out at all. However, from what I've seen, the games have largely been well attended.

 

[JJTT]

Jenike is still in goal for Nurmberg after allowing 9 goals and getting penalty for breaking his stick

 

[Go Donbass]

Storhamar blow a two goal lead with 7 minutes left in the game, but will go to OT against Djurgarden.

 

[Go Donbass]

12 seconds left in OT and Djurgarden score to win it 3-2.

Helsinki currently on a five minute PP, down 3-1 to Bolzano in the third.

 

[felixpettersson]

Marcus davidsson with a nice goal in ot

 

[Go Donbass]

Bolzano kill the 5 minute PP and a few seconds later score to make it 4-1 with 12 minutes to play in regulation.

As IFK fans like to say "kaikille kenkää!" = "fire everyone!"

Ya, the horrible British announcer has been ripping IFK for the last five minutes or so. And to top it off, they get a double minor with 5 minutes to play, pretty much ending any hope of a comeback.

 

[Go Donbass]

Well Bolzano are full credit for their two wins to start the CL. Beat Skelleftea in the SO, and IFK in regulation, 4-1, tonight. Nice to see that this tournament isn't just the Sweden/Finland show anymore.

I checked the CHL GDT at the biggest Finnish hockey site jatkoaika.com and IFK fans are fairly livid about their team's performances right now.

It is. Just wait until they are out of pre season mode

 

[Ducks76]

From finnish side! Karpat very strong and Tappara,JYP not perfect but okay.

TPS and IFK a complete failure! Last CHL-Season and now. Why they are there? They should give their CHL-placees to other more motivated finnish clubs like Saipa or Lukko.

 

[JJTT]

I checked the CHL GDT at the biggest Finnish hockey site jatkoaika.com and IFK fans are fairly livid about their team's performances right now.

I mean their lineup tonight was:

Laakso-Motin
Ulander-Varakas
Kankaanperä-O'Connor

Thorell-Santala-Rask
Petrell-Tyrväinen-Keränen
Lessio-Koivisto-Tallberg
Engberg-Åsten-Pitkänen

Quincey, Eronen, Kangasniemi and Nordgren are still missing but to me that just looks like a awful team outside the first line. So many grinders and defensive defenseman. Lacks any kinda offensive talent.

 

[albator71]

Holly crap!!! Bolzano are 2-0 they have defeated Skelleftea and HIFK that my friends is very impressive.

Trinec produced a ton of premium chances and had some powerplays early in the game yesterday. They failed miserably to hit the target, though. They should have been up by two or so. Late in the period Tappara started to get in the game. Tappara had its first powerplay chance, too and soon the game was 0-1 to the visitors. Then came the second period where Tappara was the stronger side from the start. Trinec had some consecutive penalties and towards the end of a 5-on-3 powerplay Tappara scored the second goal. After that something strange happened to Trinec. Tappara scored virtually from every attack and soon the game was 0-6. Final score was 2-8.

Seen highlights and coach interviews, something similar happened to Trinec on Friday against Djurgården, too. Can anyone tell more about that game? Last year semifinalists are in tough spot now after losing both home games against main rivals in the group. And by brutal numbers so any tie-break scenarios won't be favourable for them.

Much humiliation by IFK in CHL! What s the next(In future)? HC Istanbul vs IFK 5:0 and HC Jerewan vs IFK 4:3 OT. !

So would i if i was finish ... out of 5 teams, 1 1st, 2 nd, 1 3rd and 1 4th. They could pretend for more. for sure.

On the other side the other teams are not bad at all ... Chzechs are allways tough cookies, the Red Bulls are also good ... Bolzano ... . their are few teams left that are "good for the moral" ... and then the level is a bit disapointing because it is the beginning of the season !!
We Swiss have 4 teams and 3 are leading ... 1 is last. Honestly the manner was not there !! we were lucky we didn't meet the top teams in top shape !!

it is the beginning of the season.

The improovement has already been great. Swiss teams would start like 3 or 4 days before the tournament start. Now they are at 10 days before the beginning ... an effort is being made !!
