Växjö Lakers results in 2023-2024 CHL:

Financial loss of 1 million SEK (~ € 90,000)

Does the article mention that the Lakers suck?

Let's Go Lukko!

Geneve Wins. First Swiss team to play in CHL finals.

Battle of the Swess.

Battle of the Swess.

Haha yes, while I love Sweden as a country and their people, I absolutely hate them in sports. We (Swiss) always lose to them, no matter which sport.

If you read the goal scorers at Lukko vs Geneva, you quickly get confused. Who is the Finnish club now? The first NL-Team in final with a lot of Finland there.

Where is a problem to pay these players by Lukko/Liiga club?

NL-teams can get any player they want from Liiga/SHL, they have boatloads of $$$

Yes, that is absurd! There are also a lot of Finns and Swedes in the top 100 score list. It is questionable whether this is good for Swiss hockey(Juniors)?

Noo… One of only two tennis matches I can recall watching in full was the 2008 Olympic tennis doubles final between Federer/Wavrinka and Johansson/Aspelin!

 

[Slimmy]

Not long now! CHL finals a few days away. Going to be a good one

 

[PanniniClaus]

The big one tomorrow.

Any Geneva or Skelleftea fans have lineups for the big game?

It is not a problem. If swiss were good at u18/u20 level but could not translate to NL, it would have been, but now, it all actually works in swiss favour, their youngsters progress much better after 20 than for example belarussians or even slovaks.

For Skellefteå it will most likely be this lineup but with Söderström in net and Lundberg in a pair with Sandin-Pellikka and Granberg as ''7th'' defenseman.

That looks like a CL winning roster.

yep, but pär lindholm buried on 4thline makes no sense

 

[PanniniClaus]

yep, but pär lindholm buried on 4thline makes no sense

That's the depth they have.

 

[PanniniClaus]

wow!!. Unheralded Frenchman Berthon with a beauty of a goal..

Should be an automatic goal anyway

 

[PanniniClaus]

Now Dzierkals.. 4th lines doing the scoring.

 

[ItWasJustified]

They don't play with classical 1-4th lines. Every line is suppose to play in every situation.

 

[PanniniClaus]

PP goal and a beauty.. Manninen

missed challenge and that proved very costly... now Winnik

 

[Slimmy]

Whoever made the call for coaches challenge looks like a real duns now.

The video pros in the NHL very rarely get an offside wrong. I'm not sure how well the Euro video people do.

Apparently pretty poorly, in comparison.
