18th August at 18:18 Trenčín will host the farewell match of Marián Hossa. Called Goodbye Game 81.

Plenty of former superstars will play in his game

Nicklas Lidström, Patrick Sharp, Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews, Tomas Holmström or Henrik Zetterberg and from svk Zdeno Chára, Peter Bondra, Marián Gáborík, Marcel Hossa, Tomáš Kopecký, Michal Handzuš, Miroslav Šatan, Andrej Sekera, Ľubomír Višňovský and Žigmund Pálffy

what a LINE-UP !

Damn, what a shame I will not be able to be in Trenčín next Friday.. this is like a once in life opportunity to watch all this Asgard

Final line-up announced, Sadly, Gáborík out due to minor injury and will move from the ice to the bench as coach.

Another interesting additions:

Daniel Alfredsson :hyper: Havlát, Hudler or Byfuglien

Nela Lopušanová after 8 days in America played her very first prep game in :USA with her new Bishop Kearney Select last night in Pittsburgh.

She scored 4 goals and added 1 Assist

Slovakia was relegated this year to Div I B because IIHF refused to let her play, arguing she is too young and blah blah blah, but still continue to use her as the new women hockey future chosen-one poster girl, the girl which will change women hockey etc.. etc...

Fuck you IIHF, great promotional work, did not allow her to qualify the nation to the Elite (because, yeah, you can say whatever you want, if Nela was in China last week, she would be the MVP and we would be already in the Top division ! but, now instead of this the first time the world will can see an eventual Nela vs the best is atbest in 3 years

great!

hope you're close enough to the rink, so to enjoy also the "sounds of the game", which is always amazing for first time viewers

p.s. sorry, pal! I just can't help you with money...I'm absolutely indigent :yikes: :facepalm: :hairpull:
