Ice Hockey 2021 - 2022 Discussion Thread

2020/2021 Hockey season ended just a couple of days ago...:cry:

 

but, hey, man! we're already into the new sason! :d

 

 

KHL revealed their 2021/2022 schedule :evil: :clap: :bounce:

 

the new campaign will start on September, 1st with the classic season opener between last year's finalists, CSKA Moscow @ Avangard Omsk (in Balashika)...

 

among the news, for the 1st time since the Lokomotiv's air disaster, a game will be played on september 7th, which this year marks the 10th anniversary...

 

and it will happen because it was the Yaroslavl's team itself that asked to host a home game to celebrate that day as it deserves (they will host Dinamo Minsk)...

 

 

more infos and details, here:

the full RS schedule, instead, is here:

Drama! Disaster! Tragedy!

 

NHL.tv is going to close down...:yikes:

 

and if for most people from the Hockey Nations this isn't a big problem (you all have the games on multiple tv channels), for fans living in Countries where hockey isn't exactly the most popular sport, this might end up in the end of an era...the end of a passion...the end of everything...:yikes: :cry: :facepalm: :hairpull:

 

it looks that ESPN Player would eventually be the place to go for us, but most likely the service won't be as comprehensive as it was on the specific app (double feed home & away, often the French feed, too..."condensed" -10 min extended highlights- games, extra content...that's surely gone) and above all, right now they don't have a reliable app for connected devices, which makes very uncomfortable to follow their offer -basically, a cell phone and a chromecast are the only way to escape the small mobile devices screen or the PC screen viewing...:nopompom:

 

I didn't really expect such kind of betrayal by the NHL...:thumbdown:

3 days after leading Slovakia to the Olympics Peter Cehlárik excelled in the new season KHL opening game Omsk-CSKA with 2 goals and an assist, he scored the first goal of the whole season already after 4 minutes. Omsk won 4-0 in the season opener.

So IIHF has decided to have women's Worlds in Olympic years as well and quickly claimed that Denmark is going to host it next year.

 

Denmark however has so far only shown interest and is still looking into whether they can make it happen.

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
