just watched the decisive game #7 of the final of the Czech 2nd tier league (Chance Liga)...

 

and the amazing Jaromir Jagr (49 years young) is still there on the ice, bringing his team (Rytìři Kladno) in the top division of Czech Ice Hockey for the next season...:yikes:

 

I have no more words for the great Jaromir...:bowdown:

 

p.s. Jagr is also the owner of the team of his native town...

Växjö Lakers HC are playing their 3rd SHL Final Series and won the previous 2 in 2015 and 2018, meanwhile Rögle BK Ängelholm are playing their first showdown ever...

 

Växjö Lakers HC finished on top of the standings in the regular season (102 points in 52 games, just 4 points ahead of Rögle BK, which ended up in second place), therefore they have the home ice advantage in the Final Series...

:SWE SHL, Finals, Game #1

 

The first game of the SHL ended with a win by the home team, despite the hosts started strong and looked in control of the situation in the first period.

But a slight defensive blackout was enough to give up the leading goal to Richard Gynge.

 

The second period was the exact opposite of the first, with the home team dominating the game, but giving away the tying goal to Rögle 1 minute before the second interval.

 

The third period was the closest one, with the fear of losing the match dominating the atmosphere.

However, the Lakers at least tried a bit more to establish their supremacy, and finally scored the game winner with about 10 mins still to be played thanks to Pontus Holmberg...

 

Rögle's reaction wasn't enough to tie the game once more, thanks also to the good performance by their goalie, Erik Källgren.

 

Game #2 is scheduled for next Monday, May 3rd at 8 p.m. local time (CET), once again in Växjö.

 

Växjö Lakers HC - Rögle BK 2-1 (series score: 1-0)

:GER DEL, Finals, Game #1

 

More final series around Europe...

 

Today it was the time for the German DEL to start their final act (which is only a best-of-3 series, so, it's gonna be fast and furious...and we'll know the name of the Champions already on Wednesday or at latest on Friday)...

 

This year's showdown is between Eisbären Berlin and Grizzlys Wolfsburg...

 

The guys from the Capital have the home field advantage thanks to a better finish in the regular season, but Wolfsburg didn't waste any time and overturned that already in game #1, taking a big win on the road in OT after a very tough battle and crazy last 5 mins, where most things happened (a 6-on-5 equalizer by Berlin with only 38 seconds to play included)...

 

The game winning goal came after 77:59 minutes of play thanks to Julian Melchiori.

 

Game #2 is scheduled for next Wednesday, May 5th at 7.15 p.m. local time (CET) in Wolfsburg.

 

Eisbären Berlin Grizzlys Wolfsburg 2-3 after OT (series score: 0-1)

:SUI NLA, Finals, Game #1

 

Tonight also the Swiss NLA started their Final Series (this year, only "best-of-5")...

 

The 2 teams involved are EV Zug, regular season winners with margin, and Genève-Servette, who were only 6th at the end of the RS, but found their best shape in the playoffs, so to eliminate Fribourg Gotteròn first and ZSC Lions then, always against the odds.

 

Game #1 was a really close and entertaining match, with the home side being a bit more effective and capable of finding the lone goal of this match thanks to a flashy start in the central period, after just 21 seconds from the start.

 

That goal was scored by Gregory Hoffmann.

 

any other chance for both teams has been denied by the outstanding performance by both goalies (Daniel Manzato for Genève and Leonardo genoni for Zug), definitely the best players on the ice tonight.

 

Game #2 is scheduled for next Wednesday, May 5th at 8 p.m. local time (CET) in Genève.

 

EV Zug - HC Genève-Servette 1-0 (series score: 1-0)

and it is 3:0 for HKM Zvolen.

 

Zvolen is now only 1 win from its 3rd Slovak national champion title-

 

The Final series of the :SVK Tipsport Extraliga moved to the Tatras biggest city Poprad. and the guest won again, this time by a crazy goal in the 9th minute of the Overtime by the :CAN defencer TJ Melancon that surprised the home goalie.

 

a certain @heywoodu will be certainly happy to know that the :NED giant Mike Dalhuisen scored tonight his first :SVK league Finale goal. From 2:10 :d

 

Highlights from Game 3 (3rd May)

HK Poprad  - HKM Zvolen 1:2 After Overtime (0:0, 1:1, 0:0  - 0:1)

Last night game #2 of the SHL Finals has also been played, but I haven't watched the game yet, so, I'm not going to post anything until then (and I don't know if I have time enough to watch it later today...so, it might be that I'll post results, stats and Hlts tonight or even "only" tomorrow)...

    • If lacrosse can be selected then I don't see why Australian rules football can't be selected if they get Olympic sport recognition. Australia will obviously dominate, but there's enough other nations to make a tournament.   As for netball, a women's only event is still much more likely to be accepted than a men's only event. Australia and the netball federation can spin it as bringing equality to the number of men's and women's events (while obviously ignoring that there will be more women at the Olympics).
    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side.
