Quite nice attendance. what about the atmosphere ?

 

It's decent. There are some "pro fans" with a drum who lead the cheering. Others join occasionally.

Artur Kayumov from Lokomotiv Yaroslavl is banned for 13 matches after he completely lost his minds during the KHL game against Jokerit Helsinki two days ago. In the 48th minute firstly he almost killed the Jokerit defencer Jesper Jensen and then started to punch the referee :crazy:

 

and it´s a supposed Chicago Blackhawks prospect ! Kayumov, the new Darwin award winner :champion:

Miserable shooting efficiency once again...This season it´s clearly our biggest issue. At least 3 clear goal chances missed, one to a half empty net from some 2 meters, but we still managed to shoot wide, then a Rssian attack a couple of seconds later ofc finished by their winning goal :wall: even in the last minute empty netter power play we threw away one huge chance...obviously this roster is far from the team that will play the WCh...but the lack of strikers we noticed in the Deutschland Cup team and in todays game is quite worrying for the future

to be honest, it was quite a boring match...

this Russia "2" is really a modest team, but SVK didn't do anything to put them under serious pressure, especially when the score was still tied...

by the way, I also noticed that SVK gave up too many stupid penalties...and this lack of discipline may hurt the team more than the poor shooting efficiency, as you just can't even try to build some chances if you spend most of the time killing pens...

 

meanwhile, the EHT match between FIN and CZE was quite entertaining, especially in the 3rd period, when CZE did comeback from a 0-3 hole to a 3-3 tie before the great Dominik Kubalik gave them the final victory at the shootouts (he first tied the lone Finnish score in the "regular" series of 5 GWS with the last shot and then won it with the 1st extra-GWS)...

as a fan of image.png.5235aeb7e7f5a9dd9df604ae434644ad.png Ambrì Piotta, I couldn't be happier, right now...:cheer::bounce::champion:

 

unfortunately, i couldn't watch the other EHT game, where Russia won (3-2) also at the shootouts against Sweden in Moscow...

it should have been a good one, too...

Sure, it´s not the strongest Russian squad ever, but I don´t think this team is so modest, almost the same roster won the Deutschland Cup last month, it´s still a team formed by young KHL players and potential Russian A team for next years.

 

But I do agree, that the match was quite boring, all our matches may looks like this now, this is the game play under Craig Ramsey. We focus more on the well organized defense, if you take a look on our matches since Ramsey became the coach, you´ll hardly find a game when our opponent scored against us more than 2-3 goals. also his biggest mark is our penalty killing. Last WCh for example SVK was the best team in PK stats, if I remember correctly we received only 1 goal during opponents power plays. the same in the Deutschland Cup, I was just amazed by our play during opponents PPs. Today (even if not in so impressive way I must admit) it was still again a 100% PK efficiency for us against Russia "B" even if they played, like you noticed, quite a lot of PPs.

looks any team we send to a international tournament, this is a thing they trains the most now,

 

The problem is really the offensive part. It´s very bad, we need a lot of chances to score a goal. We really need to finally find some real top scorers..this task will be the biggest challenge for Ramsey before the WCh.

    • 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 , 
    • The rankings look likely to give two spots each in the men's side to Egypt (2nd athlete at 3) and GB (second athlete at 9). the nearest contender after that is France and both Egypt and GB have plenty of contenders after their respective number 2 but before France's umber 2   Women's side looks a bit more of a battle, with Egypt again likely to provide 2, and then a fight between USA, GBR and BEL for the other lucky double spot. That said, so dominant are the Egyptians, Americans and Brits, that failing to find all the contenders in the top 50 is entirely plausible, possibly opening a third 'double' spot.
    • I'd done my final revisions on my prediction spreadsheets.. and I'm sticking with 26 for Canada.    Take it to the bank! (But don't sign anything)
