OMG, can't believe there's a North American team whose name doesn't consist of a toponymy and a random plural noun

It's only temporary as the hockey season starts soon and there was not enough time apparently to rebrand.

Sport teams are like companies in North America. Here they moved their headquarters and are in the middle of rebranding.

Yep, that I was aware of, but to the non-American it always feels so odd when suddenly a whole team is just picked up and moved to a different place and kind of seen as a continuation of the same team, despite being something entirely different :p

You get weird situations where the current Winnipeg Jets use to be from Atlanta and the team in Utah was originally the Winnipeg Jets before they moved to Arizona.

So if you were a Winnipeg Jets fan in the 90's, you became an Arizona Coyotes fan despite it being far away and having nothing to do with Winnipeg anymore, and now that transferred to being a fan of a random other team that happens to be HC Utah, the continuation of the original Jets? Or if you were a Jets fan in the 90's you simply stopped being a fan of anything, until the current Jets came around and one became a fan of that? :p

Well we got the first tuneup  game today.  Slovenia vs Austria. Slovenia scores 16 minutes into 2nd period to take a 1-0 lead. With 53 seconds left in the game Marco Kaspar of Detroit Red Wings assisted by David Reinbacher of Montreal Canadians ties the game. Then 3 minutes into overtime Marco Kaspar scores again to give Austria a 2-1 win.

 

Tomorrow two more tuneups. Norway vs France & Cardiff vs Great Britain, 

Another tuneup game Norway vs France. Almost just like yesterdays game.  France lead 2-1 after two periods. With 2.41 left in the game Tampa Bay Lighting player Emil Lilleberg tied the score. Then 4 minutes into OT Emil Lilleberg scored to win the game for Norway 3-2 . Also a assist for Mats Zuccarello with the Minnesota Wild

 

 

No result on the Great Britain vs Cardiff game

GREAT news! :yes

 

All of the matches for the Olympic Qualifier will be live-streamed on IIHF YouTube, free of charge!

For all non-competing countries at least, pretty sure it won’t be streamed for all, some probably have rights to their matches or the whole event through various broadcasters and streaming services. 

 

Iesim Latvija !! :LAT (Šilovs & Bługers in particular) :cheer:

Not a good sign for Great Britain in the 2nd tuneup of the day.

 

 

Can't get any details on this one but Cardiff 5 Great Britain 0 !

 

 

Four final tuneups tomorrow for these 6 national teams

 

Austria vs Slovenia

Norway vs France

Belfast vs Great Britain

Pirati Chomutov vs Kazakhstan

 

 

After the above games all that remains is

 

Ukraine vs Hungary 1 game

Denmark vs Latvia a pair of games

    • The fact that he threw only 3 times over 70m tells you everything you need to know about Ramona. It's pure wind doping and you know it. It doesn't matter who competes there or not, the rules should be stricter when it comes to outside sources like the wind. If say 100m sprinters had such help they would run close to 9s. Those records wouldn't stand, but somehow they're still allowed in field events. If these records had any legitimacy the athletes would be throwing close to that mark regularly, yet they do not. That's my problem, I have no problems with athletes who go there to compete. 
    • Such a cute venue. Really glad they found a use for it at these games.

    • An overall failure for Poland who was supposed to run away with the promotion especially after Spain lost in the first game of the tournament
    • Spring Nationals, Day #2   sleepy and somehow disappointing day in Riccione...until the last individual race of the day, when the unthinkable happened: the next big thing in Italian swimming revealed herself well earlier than expected    Alessandra Mao, in fact, despite being only 14 (not even sure she already turned 14, actually), won the National title over the women's 200m freestyle in 1.58.86    given that she basically doesn't have a decent start nor turns and she's not doing any power training in the gym yet, I hope (and think) she has room to become a world star in the next few years   Today's other champions:   women's 50m back: Sara Curtis, 27.90   men's 50m fly: Lorenzo Gargani, 23.32   women's 100m fly: Costanza Cocconcelli, 58.04   men's 100m breastroke: Nicolò Martinenghi, 59.16 (world champ qualifying time...good to see the Olympic champion back on track, despite not in his best shape both mental and physical); in the same race, Ludovico Blu Art Viberti slept big time in the morning heats and was forced to swim in the B Final, which he won in 59.04 (but since he didn't do it in the A final, the time is not accepted as a world qualifier for now)   women's 200m breaststroke: Francesca Fangio, 2.23.67 (only 7/100 of a second outside the world champs qualifying time)   men's 100m back: Christian Bacico, 53.61
