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

 

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

: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)...

Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
    • Costantini & Mosaner will back to play together for the frist time since Beijing 2022 Our NOC and Federation do an amazing work.
