phelps 6,872 Posted December 26, 2018 Author #154 Share Posted December 26, 2018 (edited) today the Spengler Cup 2019 started in Davos... the opening match between Ocelari Trinec and Metallurg Magnitogorsk was a really close one, it looked more like a true championship match rather than the exhibition that the Spengler Cup actually is... finally, the Russians did take the victory home after the penalty shootout, since regulation and OT ended with a 1-1 tie... to be noticed, Trinec's backup goalie Peter Kvaca didn't play a single second in regulation and OT, but was chosen to play the PS...unfortunately, he got an apparently really bad (surely very painful) injury on the second Metallurg penalty...it definitely wasn't his day...

I agree. with this rule, you now basically without problems can get rid of a puck in desperate defensive action and just wait that someone can not stop his move to hit you and you´ll easily earn a power play for your team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,872 Posted December 26, 2018 Author #156 Share Posted December 26, 2018 and now the host team, HC Davos is on the ice facing their traditional rivals, Team Canada... it's quite an entertaining match so far, with the Canadians leading 2-0 after about 25 mins of play (thanks to a goal that should have never been allowed, but the refs finally awarded after the video replay, despite the evidence of the pictures )...

phelps 6,872 Posted December 28, 2018 Author #159 Share Posted December 28, 2018 another tactical battle (euphemism...big euphemism...actually, another boring slow pace match) in Davos...Kuopio upset Metallurg 1-0 after OT and win the Torriani group, so they have a rest day tomorrow and will be back in 2 days already at the semifinal stage... this year we're definitely not seeing our usual Spengler Cup, with high scoring games and the most classic athmosphere of an exhibition tournament (this said by a big fan of close and low scoring games...but at least once a year it would be good to enjoy something different)...
