Ice Hockey 2022 - 2023 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

busy week in the European Hockey...

 

after the first CHL stint, now it's time for the beginning of almost all the main European domestic leagues...

 

Finnish Liiga is underway since Tuesday, yesterday the Swiss NLA started.

 

Tonight it was time for the Czech Extraliga and the German DEL to open their campaign, meanwhile tomorrow it's time for the Slovak Extraliga and the Austrian ICE League (with 3 Italian teams).

 

Saturday the Swedish SHL will begin, too.

 

All this, waiting for the NHL to start their show.

 

I'm ready for the full immersion...:popcorn:

 

 

p.s. @hckošice I saw that the AMC channels replaced the KHL (gone for obvious reasons) with the Swiss NLA :yikes: :cheer:

I'm almost in tears (of joy, of course)...:lol: ;)

Looks the hell must have frozen over :yikes:

 

NHL apparently refuse to field gimmick teams to the World Cup :p No more Team Europe or Team North-America (which as you know was a team of U23 North American players).

 

It looks the 2024 World Cup will consist of 10 National teams and with a pre-qualifying round before the main world cup round, with 8 nations making the WC. Slovakia will be apparently invited for the pre-quali round :cheer:  NHL will have a break during the whole tournament, the matches should be played in February 2024 in both N. America and Europe with medal games in Montreal

The match will be played in Bratislava so no :d

 

HC Košice (The Steel Arena owner, asked 2 000 000 EUR for the rent of the arena to the club, justifying it by the high electricity prices, the club obviously temporarily canceled the contract and moved to the small Handball arena for training) asked for special exemption and all rivals agreed, so Košice will play cca the first month all matches away and will hope by this time the situation with the rent will be corrected

it looks they want to make it a new World Baseball Classic, then (I mean, with teams based mainly on marketing interest of the NHL)...

 

this might lead to make Italy a powerhouse, having a team filled with all the NHL players with Italian heritage (who normally can't play with us because they've never been in our Country)...:yikes: :facepalm:

The :CZE Extraliga match between Karlovy Vary and Olomouc had to be postponed to another date after the Zamboni made a hole in the ice :lol:

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
    • If you have time would love to see a sport by sport overview of the changes/new sports
    • Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.
    • How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.
    • Znali se postupak za mješovito složeni luk, 12 parova  
    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
