:DEN Denmark: Aalborg Pirates are leading the final series of the Metalligaen against Rungsted Seier Capitals by a score of 2-1

:FIN

 

not a good day for Slaf and his TPS...:(

 

he didn't play that well and, above all, his team lost once again 2-1 against Tappara Tampere in the Liiga Finals (this time at home, even if the game went to OT)...

 

now the men from Turku are down 2-0 in the best-of-7 series...

 

 

:SWE

 

meanwhile, in Sweden Luleå HF are the first finalist of the SHL, after they won 4-1 at home in game #5 and 4-1 in the whole series against Frölunda Indians Gothemburg...

 

in the other semifinal, Färjestad BK are leading 3-1 in the series against Rögle BK and tomorrow they could also clinch a spot in the finals with a win on the road...

 

 

:RUS

 

finally, yesterday Metallurg Magnitogorsk won 4-0 in Moscow in game #3 of the Gagarin Cup finals and now they lead 2-1 in the series...

 

tomorrow game #4 is on stage, once again in the Russian Capital (puck drop @ 4.30 p.m. Moscow time, 3.30 p.m. CET)...

also about last night...

 

:SVK

 

dramatic finish for game #2 of the Slovak Extraliga Finals, where Slovan Bratislava did find an improbable equalizer with only 13 seconds still to be played, but HK Nitra finally recovered from that shock and scored the game winner about halfway through the first OT...

 

now the series is tied 1-1...

 

 

:CZE

 

very tough and exciting game #4 in the Czech Extraliga Finals...

 

in the end, Sparta Prague, pushed by their 17,220 fans (Extraliga playoffs all time record), won 5-2 and equalled the series at 2 apiece...

 

so far, it's one of the most entertaining playoff series around Europe in this season...

 

 

:SUI

 

third straight win for ZSC Lions Zurich against EV Zug in the Swiss NLA Finals...

 

once again they stole a 2-1 win coming from behind in the 3rd period for the 3rd straight match and therefore they now lead 3-0 in the series...

 

on Monday night they could clinch the Title with another win on their home ice...

last game from yesterday night...

 

:SUI

 

in game #4 of the NLA Finals, once again scoring first proved useless...

 

this time it was Zürich taking the advantage in the first period of the game, but then EV Zug finally did find some pride and came back strong...

 

they scored 4 unanswered goals (a remarkable empty netter from behind their own goal line included towards the end of the match) and with a clear 4-1 win in game #4 they gave themselves a chance to play at least another match at home (wednesday night, puck drop @ 8 p.m. local/CET)...

 

now the ZSC Lions still lead the series 3-1 and could clinch the title with 1 more win...

 

 

p.s. today it's pure mayhem...:yikes:

 

in order of play:

 

  • :RUS KHL, Finals, game #5: Metallurg Magnitogorsk vs CSKA Moscow (MMG lead series 3-1, puck drop at 4 p.m. CET)
  • :CZE Czech Extraliga, Finals, game #5: HC Oceláři Třinec vs Sparta Prague (series tied 2-2, puck drop @ 5 p.m. CET)
  • :FIN Liiga, Finals, game #4: TPS Turku vs Tappara Tampere (Tappara lead series 3-0, puck drop @ 5.30 p.m. CET)

mayhem, part #1 is over...

 

and tbh, I expected a bit more from that...:nopompom:

 

first of all, no titles were clinched today, despite the chance to have 2...which means that we're gonna have a lot of hockey left in the next couple of days...:cheer:

 

 

:RUS

 

Klas Dahlbeck's goal in the first OT decided game #5 of the Gagarin Cup Finals, keeping CSKA Moscow alive after winning today's match 3-2 on the road.

 

Now Metallurg lead 3-2 in the series, but the next game is scheduled in Moscow on Thursday (puck drop @ 7 p.m. local time, 6 p.m. CET).

 

game #5 highlights

 

 

 

:FIN

 

TPS Turku just saved themselves from a bitter sweep thanks to a pretty boring 1-0 win on home ice in game #4 of the Liiga final series.

 

Now Tappara lead the contest by 3 games to 1 and could clinch the title at home on Thursday (puck drop @ 6.30 p.m. local time, 5.30 p.m. CET)

 

 

:CZE

 

HC Oceláři Třinec won big on home soil against Sparta Prague in game #5 of the Extraliga Finals.

 

7-3 the final score of today's match, thanks mainly to a very strong effort in the middle period.

 

Now they lead the series 3-2, with game #6 scheduled in Prague next Thursday (puck drop @ 7 p.m. local/CET)

 

 

:SVK

 

also in the Slovak Extraliga tonight we didn't have a close and exciting games, as Slovan Bratislava dominated the match against Nitra by a score of 6-2.

 

Now they lead the series 2 games to 1.

 

The 4th chapter of the Slovak Finals is scheduled for tomorrow (puck drop @ 6 p.m. local/CET)

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
