I'm sure he'll be good at skating in one direction 

The Dutch were not very good when the 100m, which actually is skating in one direction, was a World Cup event.

Thanks.

 

Well, everything is set for a great and memorable season. with the return of Slovan, the new format changes and new rules it may have a potential to be one of the best seasons for many years.

Btw after the removal of the U20 National Team project the federation established a new rule every team will have to play every match with at least one U20 Slovak player. Also to notice, the maximum number of foreigners was reduced to seven per roster, which may help our young players even more.

p.s. I gave a look to the huste.sk website...it looks that they're not going to stream the Extraliga anymore...

 

other than the STV matches, do you know if (and in case where) the other games are going to be available (for free, with or without VPN it doesn't matter)?

Try again :p all matches will be for free on Huste.sk even the matches from Miskolc and Budapest https://huste.joj.sk/live

 

Tomorrows opener is on RTVS 2 and Huste.sk on web. + RTVS will broadcast live one match each Sunday, and all games from the Play-Offs on

thanks a lot...this is really great...:bounce:

 

probably, I wanted to know about huste too early and the games were not uploaded yet at that time (I checked on Monday)...:facepalm:

 

p.s. now I know STV's schedule very well after all these years following them...;):d

good match, even if I think you didn't enjoy the final score too much...

 

to be honest, I think your team has still quite some troubles...

 

in the first period defense was put under pressure and they didn't look 100% reliable, even if they did weel enough to limit the damage to "only" 1 goal...

 

then, thanks also to the many penalties taken by Slovan, things got a bit more balanced, but imho you lack heavily in scoring ability, your forwards made Habal look like Hasek (which isn't the case, I fear)...

 

and I also think that the coach abused of the Majdan/Hascak/Chovan line (with Majdan also double shifting in the last 10 minutes or so)...I don't know if they can do that all the season long (OK, most of the other league teams are not Slovan, but still)...

 

I really hope the youngsters will grow during the season and the coach gets more confidence in them, because you're going to need them (or a good natural born goal scorer from abroad)...

 

 

meanwhile on the other side of the Border, the Czech League started with a crazy game between Sparta Prague and Pilsen, one of those goal-fests that normally the average fans like so much, but that drive absolutely mad the coaching staffs...

 

finally, it was Sparta to win it 7-6 at the overtime after they were well ahead, fell behind and came back strongly in the final period...an absolute madness...

 

 

the 3rd European League that started yesterday is the Finnish Liiga...

 

and in the re-match of last season's final, it was Kärpät Oulu the won on the road against HPK (final score, 3-2)...

yeah, no ! :d

 

Really disappointing display from the team yesterday, t looked like the guys met only one week before the match for the first time :lol: Anyway, let them enjoy their win, because you know...it´s not important to win the first match, the most important is to win the last match :p

    • Qualification status that could realistically change this week, barring (except where noted) new time qualifying performances :   Men   500m : pretty much done   1000m : pretty much done   1500m : pretty much done   5000m : one outlier at the moment  Semirunniy. He's currently not qualified for the distance being 18/15 in the rankings and R1 time-wise. He could still punch his ticket :    either by getting into the top 15 with a very good result (a podium or even a win would be needed). If it is at the expanse of  Henriksen or, less likely,  Swings, then the loser is out. If it is at the expanse of any other, then  Sasaki is out.  or by hoping Lorello gets into the top 15 at the expanse of Henriksen or Swings. or by going faster than Sasaki (6'08''834) which seems reachable after his 10k, even in Hamar.   10000m : once again Henriksen is on the bubble. If  Maly, Petzold of  Farthofer gets into the top 9 at the expanse of Malfatti or Snellink, then he's out.    Mass-start : not much at stake considering most of the reserve skaters will already receive an additional quota - at the moment    . Morino  will try to enter top 32 and be in those additional quota spots.    Team pursuit : pretty much done   Women   500m : pretty much done   1000m : with  Thorup not cleared to participate one more spot is up for grabs.  Scholz would need to be in front of both Herzog (done as she's not entered) and Czerwonka (7 points) after this final week.  Silaeva would be left out.    1500m : Lamarche not competing and  Zofia Braun being promoted to A division, Poland has got a real shot at a second quota. Braun will need to stay in front of Scholz and Weidemann, who could still finish ahead of her depending on how good Braun fares in A division.  Smedding would suffer from a Polish rise.   3000m : match-up between  Yang and  Horikawa only separated by 3 points. At the moment Yang is out (R2) but if they exchange position in the standings then Horikawa is out (R1). They could also both finish ahead of Hofmann, at the expanse of  Golubeva ultimately.  Jasch has a small shot at a second German quota too, by edging the former two skaters, eliminating them.    5000m : pretty much done   Mass-start :  Santo Rodrigues is hanging on by a thread. The cruelty of it is that those immediately behind her -    - will get an aditional spot anyways, so it does not really matter if they finish in the top 24 ahead of her, except it would allow France to enter a second skater and two girls in the MS.   Team pursuit : three-way asymetrical tie for the last SOQP spot between   and , all in division A. Norway needs to beat both as they can't rely on a time Q, Kazakhstan needs to beat Norway to ensure (if they fail to beat China) the first SOQT spot and avoid the Italian wild-card*, whereas China is pretty safe. *  is currently out but they "only" need to get into a reserve spot to be qualified, which is going faster than 3'00'92 (or faster than Norway if they too decide to skate faster). They were not far off this mark in Hamar earlier this year but the team was in a better shape overall.
