Dávid Bondra scored today his first goal in National team in front of his father Peter Bondra in the stands, the kid has clearly inherited some skills from his dad, but still a long way for him to equal his father scoring the winning goal of the world championships final :p

Bozen is leading 0-2 in the final game, thanks @phelps for mentioning the free YouTube stream, I've tuned in now :d 

 

and finally they did it again...

like in 2014, HCB won the decisive game on the road...and this time they didn't even need the OT (though, Salzburg got really close to a great comeback in the last 5 minutes and almost sent the match to OT)...

unfortunately for them, they came up just short...

however, HCB really deserved the win, they did a real masterpiece throughout the entire playoff run, which they enetered in the very last game of the RS as the 8th and last seeded team and then they defeated against the odds the best 3 teams of the RS (Klagenfurt, Vienna Capitals and eventually Red Bull Salzburg)...

game #7 itself was a tactical lesson, with great and very tight defence and quick counters that proved lethal for the Austrians...

then in the 3rd period they did sit back too mauch, in my opinion...and allowed Salzburg to close the gap in the last 5 mins...luckily HCB had the great Pekka Tuokkola in the net...and the EBEL title is back South of the Border once again...

 

 

in the other leagues, AK Bars Kazan won game #4 of the Gagarin Cup Finals in Moscow by a score of 3-1 and so now they also lead the series with the same score...therefore tomorrow in Kazan they have a great chance to upset the powerhouse from the Nation's Capital and win a really surprising title; Kometa Brno (Czech Extraliga) have increased their lead over Ocelari Trinec to 3-1 (5-2 the score in favor of Kometa in game #4); in Slovakia, Banskà Bystrica missed another chance to close the series over Dukla Trencin, losing game #5 in Trencin by a score of 6-0; Växjö Lakers (SHL) have destroyed also on the road (4-0) their rivals from Skellefteå and now lead 2-0 in the final series; Kärpät Oulu (Finnish Liiga) also have taken a 2-0 lead in that final series after they beat 4-2 Tappara Tampere in their nest in game #2 and Red Bull Munich (German DEL) have got closer to take home at least 1 title for the (in)famous drink factory by winning 4-2 in Berlin in game #4 and thus taking a 3-1 lead in the series...

 

Today, Zurich could reach the title in Switzerland (they lead the final series 3-1 and they play game #5 on the road, in Lugano), meanwhile the final series continue in Sweden and Finland, with their respective game #3...

in Slovakia, Banskà Bystrica missed another chance to close the series over Dukla Trencin, losing game #5 at home by a score of 6-0;

 

The 5th match was played in Trenčín, as Dukla was the highest ranked after the Regular season, the 6th game is scheduled in Banská Bystrica tomorrow.

 

btw yesterdays game had one amazing moment when the ultras from both teams joined together at the 38th minute to pay tribute to Pavol Demitra (the guy who unite Slovakia) :bowdown:https://tivi.cas.sk/video/2516455/

yes, you're right...my mistake (unfortunately I was lost between KHL and EBEL finals, so I didn't watch that game and I misread the scoring line on the website)...:facepalm::redcard::spank:

 

meanwhile right now I'm in between the SHL on ArenaSport1 (why don't they put this channel -and his "brother" AS2, which I can't understand why it's not on the skylink platform, when the #1 is there since ages- in HD like all the others? it's almost unwatchable on my brand new 4K TV...:facepalm::wall:) and the Czech Hockey Games on CT Sport HD...:d

Yesterday, Lugano shortened the distance in the Swiss NLA Finals by winning game #5 at home with a stunning 4-0, dominating this match from start to finish. Zurich now lead the series "only" 3-2, but they will have the big chance to close the quest for the title at home on Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, in the SHL and in the Finnish Liiga we're heading towards a very quick ending of their respective Finals. Växjö Lakers HC (SHL) and Kärpät Oulu (Liiga), infact, won again in game #3 against Skellefteå (4-1) and Tappara (2-1 OT) respectively and now lead their series both by 3-0. Today (SHL) and Tomorrow (Liiga) it could already be all over after game #4 in both leagues.

 

Today there are also a lot of other games of the final series in many Countries, like Germany (game #5 between Berlin and Munich, with the Bavarians leading 3-1), Czech Republic (game #5 between Brno and Trinec, with Kometa leading 3-1), Slovakia (game #6 between Banskà Bystrica and Dukla Trencin, with the firsts leading 3-2) and the KHL (game #5 between AK Bars Kazan and CSKA Moscow, with the team from Tatarstan leading 3-1)...

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
