Good start of the new season for our U20 NT. Team led by recently drafted Martin Feherváry, Filip Krivošík, Adam Liška and other interesting prospects like Patrik Hrehorčák (Best scorer of the tourney) won the traditional 4 Nations tournament "Summer Hockey Challenge 2018" in Zurich, Switzerland

 

Way to Go guys :cheer:

KHL Full Regular Season Calendar is out...:bounce:

https://en.khl.ru/calendar/

 

The KHL lords once again can not stop to surprise me with inventing new "innovations" :crazy:. This time they came with such "brilliant" idea to play two home matches of Slovan, Dinamo Riga and Jokerit Helsinki abroad of their home countries...

 

Slovan will play for example 2 home matches in Vienna (AUT) :lol: and both matches against two big guns against CSKA Moscow the Friday 26th October and two days later against SKA St. Petersburg.

 

Also Jokerit Helsinki will play 2 games abroad in Tallinn (EST) Spartak Moscow and Severstal Cherepovets. but the "best" is for Dinamo Riga which must play 2 of their home matches in Zurich (SUI) only some 1500 km from their own arena :roflmao: just like Slovan against the top two teams CSKA and SKA.

 

Peak of stupidity :bowdown:

Now fans in Bratislava and Riga will miss games with CSKA and St. Petersburg because of this...

 

Don´t know why for Riga, but KHL probably wants to take revenge to Slovan for this epic faux pas..:p

well, the fact the KHL play some games abroad is not really new...even a few years ago CSKA Moscow and Dinamo Riga played a game in Davos a few days before the start of the Spengler Cup (they both were among the participants to that edition of the Christmas classic)...

 

and I can see why they're doing it again...they just want to expand their market (actually, the NHL does the same with the European and Chinese matches...think about how happy are the US/Canadian fans to have 1 or 2 home games in another Continent :yikes::lol:)...

 

Wien, for instance, is one of the city that would like to enter the KHL in the near future (the Capitals have already asked for it, but their request has been frozen for a while at the moment)...

and I guess that Slovan has been chosen as the host of those Wien games because Bratislava is quite close to the Austrian Capital and there's a strong relationship between the 2 Countries, not only in sport things...

I don't think they want to punish Slovan for that fault...;)

 

the same criteria apply to Jokerit and Estonia, which basically is a Finnish province in demographic and cultural terms (even if Estonia is an Independent Nation, of course)...

 

meanwhile Dinamo Riga has been chosen to play in Zurich because of the strong relationship between the team and Swiss Hockey (among them, Kenins playing with ZSC Lions in Zurich and Elvis "miracle man" Merzlikins in Lugano...moreover, Dinamo is often guest to the Spengler Cup)...

 

so, if we really want, we can find a proper explaination for the KHL decisions...

but still, I can understand the Slovan, Jokerit and Dinamo fans arguing that in this way they lose 2 home games (and 2 very important ones in Slovan and Dinamo's case)...

probably they could have chosen more average games, but then the neutral site fans could have been not so intrigued by the uncommon experience and could have not pursued the tickets with the same enthusiasm...

it's always difficult to find the perfect balance in this kind of things, I guess...

Avangard Omsk is in huge troubles prior to the new KHL season, the club Probably irrevocably lost it´s home venue. It was found some serious deficiencies in the construction of the Omsk Arena. 

 

Avangard has to look for a new home and has to report it to the KHL leaders by August 15th. Currently, there are two options for Avangard in Russia - moving to Moscow and performing in Mytishchi, and the second alternative is to find a temporary home in Krasnoyarsk.

    • I deliberately scheduled a long interval now so I can attend to "normal" life activities before coming back to the second-half. Thanks to everyone who is staying active and posting throughout... makes it so much more enjoyable as always
    • Pairs Event     We now know the 16 nations that will participate in the Pairs Competition that kicks-off in the second-half of the contest. It involves the 12 nations who were eliminated in the team event in sessions 1 and 2 and they are joined by the 4 lowest ranked nations individually at the halfway point.   Pairs are balanced by pairing the best ranked team with the lowest ranked team and so on. Links to the rules for the pairs event can be found in the opening post in this thread.     So here are your 8 pairs / / / / / / / /    
    • As I said hige apres-ski hit in the German speaking areas
    • Morning, chat. Thanks to all who voted for the US so far.   Also that team event tho. We were literally cooked

    • Totallympics Annual International Song Contest 2025        Thank you Greece! The home fans go wild as Ireland receive the 12 points from the Greek jury. It's Ireland's 5th gold medal of the contest and pushes them over the 100-points milestone!   It also comes at a crucial point as we conclude the first-half of the contest with Ireland holding a 31 point advantage over nearest challengers France.   The battle is just hotting up however and we are just at the halfway mark with 17 of the 34 juries having cast their votes. We go for a long break now of 2 hours and 30 minutes! Plenty of time to get some rounds in at the bar or for the more civilised, perhaps a chance to sample some local cuisine!   Join us again for session 3 of TISC Annual 2025 at 16:00 GMT        Juries Voted: 17/34    1  Ireland 12 102  18  Denmark   38  2  France   71  19  Israel   35  3  Argentina   66  20  Malta 5 35  4  Albania   65  21  Portugal   35  5  Romania   63  22  Sweden 1 33  6  Canada   63  23  Slovenia 7 29  7  Spain 6 58  24  Tunisia   28  8  Mexico   54  25  Ukraine   26  9  Guatemala 10 51  26  Turkey   24  10  Italy 4 50  27  Brazil   22  11  Netherlands 3 49  28  Indonesia   18  12  Germany   45  29  Lithuania   15  13  Serbia 2 43  30  Greece   14  14  United States 11 42  31  Slovakia   12  15  Poland   40  32  China 8 11  16  Great Britain   39  33  Bulgaria   10  17  Kazakhstan 9 39  34  India   1
