Champions Hockey League

[Eye of Ra]

Swedish teams are 14-1-1-2 in the competition so far. Any update on your "opinion" or you took your advice and decided to "not comment on a league you don't follow"?

Yeah lets forget that Mountfield won over Frölunda.

Czech league is better than SHL

Frolunda is still ahead of them in the standings since they split wins at home each. SHL teams are currently 3-1-0-1 against the Czech ones. Any other theories?

Dinamo - Chelsea 1:0, HNL is better than Premiership

What is going on with Trinec at the CHL? If they're not interested in participated they should just stay home! Last season was the same thing and we all know they have a good team because they always win the czech league!

They are in strong group. Top EIHL teams are not walkovers, few seasons ago Nottingham won their group against SC Bern and TPS Turku.

New coach as well, they might to take time to get into gear in Extraliga as well. But yeah, they are in the toughest group, somebody had to lose there.

Its a champions hockey league-night!

 

[Jukurit]

Sparta - Jukurit game postponed because Sparta's plane broke.

 

[ES]

Jukurit wins 3-0 on forfeit.

 

[Jukurit]

Olli Jokinen seems legit pissed off at the way Sparta Praha handled this.

Sparta must have really been dicks about it if they got a forfeit on the game that decides the PO spot.

Then again, Jukurit shouldn't be too mad, they just advanced without having to do anything.

 

[Albatros]

And it's not like they have any fans (or thus ticket income) anyway.

They get automatic promotion and they still pretend to have their lost income compensated:

"Mielestäni tässä pitää mennä niin, että Sparta tai CHL korvaa tämän pelin peruutuksen myötä tulevat taloudelliset tappiot Jukureille."

Don't really see how can you claim they got hurt here somehow. Unless you were serious since judging from their attendance it truly doesn't look like they have any fans

You guys really hurting my feelings.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Gameday!

 

[SoundAndFury]

I thought it's quite interesting, with 1 round remaining only 1 out of 16 PO places is up for grabs.

Shockingly, all 5 Swedish teams have already ensured advancement to the next stage, unlike any other country. I'm shocked I tell ya, shocked.

 

[SoundAndFury]

so 2 teams from every group advances?

my picks:

sparta
jukurit

zug
tps

tappara
munich

lions
katowice

ilves
salzburg

Villach
Craocvia

Mountfield
Berlin

Davos
Trinec

Got 8/16 right, 50%. Meaning you were as accurate as a completely randomly generated list would have been. Nice insight.

Sometimes hockey professors can have wrong too. Most of the times, i am right.

I think time to change the title from "magic beans" to "hockey professor"

Krakow beating SHL champions today. I told you before that polish league is on the rise.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

I thought Rögle was the SHL-team in danger to lose this round (Zurich away)

Big win by Krakow!

 

[SoundAndFury]

Stavanger being pretty impressive. Leading 2-1 against Ilves in a must-win game for both teams. Even if they lose, the only 4th seed that managed to make the group truly competitive all-around.

Norwegian league on the rise, I guess.
