Aaaaand history made, longest KHL game ever

 

 

 

still...amateurs! :evil::rofl:

they're no way near to the overall record...

last year in the Norwegian top league a game (Sparta Sarpsborg vs Storhamar) went to the 8th OT (157:14 mins + the 60-min regulation, of course)...:whistle:

 

however, this is a great series...apart from game #1 (which was basically a blowout in CSKA's favor), all matches are a lot closer than expected and played at a very high overall level...

frankly, it's a lot more enjoyable than many NHL games of this final stretch before the playoffs start...

Attendance Stats for the 2017/2018 Season (Numbers @ March 20th)

 

Switzerland lead again; SC Bern on top of the European Clubs

 

Swiss giant SC Bern leads the European attendance study for the 17th consecutive year with an average of 16,371 fans in the regular season.

The club from the Swiss capital has led the European ranking since overtaking Kolner Haie from the German city of Cologne in 2001/2002 despite a marginal drop by 28 spectators this year.

Switzerland also leads the European national leagues in league attendance with an average of 6,833 spectators.

Second comes the KHL that claims second and third spot in the club rankings but this year with SKA St. Petersburg moving from fifth to second place. Arguably the strongest team in Europe with many Russian home comers from the NHL and the highest budget, the club averaged 11,847 fans and is followed by another KHL team, Dynamo Minsk from Belarus with 11,738 fans.

The two KHL teams are followed by two German clubs. Eisbaren Berlin stays in fourth place with 11,384 fans while Kolner Haie dropped to fifth with 11,222 spectators in average. Finnish KHL team Jokerit Helsinki and Adler Mannheim from Germany are the other clubs over the 10,000 mark. Frolunda Gothenburg (Sweden), the ZSC Lions Zurich (Switzerland) and Sparta Prague (Czech Republic) complete the top-10 in Europe.

The top-100 club teams come from 14 different countries across the continent from Great Britain in the west to Kazakhstan in the east. Some of them perform in a second-tier league led by Czech club HC Ceske Budejovice with 5,869 fans.

In the league ranking the Russian-based cross-border league KHL moved to second place with 6,234 fans. The strategy to decrease the number of the teams paid off. While the current 27 teams had less spectators in average, the league average increased by losing Metallurg Novokuznetsk (relegated) and Medvescak Zagreb (tops the Austrian-based cross-border league EBEL in attendance).

The German DEL had a decrease in attendance of over 3 per cent and dropped to third place with an average of 5,996 fans followed by the Swedish Hockey League (5,669), the Czech Extraliga (5,455) and the Finnish Liiga (4,254).

With Medvescak Zagreb replacing Olimpija Ljubljana in the EBEL, the Austrian-based league increased its attendance to 3,216 fans and moved to seventh place ahead of the leagues from Great Britain, Slovakia and Norway.

The NHL with 17,414 is by far the most attended league world wide and is followed by Switzerland, Russia and Germany in terms of attendance before the second-most visited league in North America, the AHL with 5,817 fans. The Chicago Blackhawks (21,635) and the Montreal Canadiens (21,299) are the clubs with the highest attendance and the only hockey teams that average more than 20,000 fans.

and the season is over.  HC Košice lost 5th game in overtime and the whole quarterfinals series to Banská Bystrica 4-1 :(

 

Hard to describe with the right words my actual feelings...sad and extremely disappointed, 2nd year in a row we are eliminated already in the quarterfinals..this season it was even more painful with this goal in the overtime during a controversial power play :( need something to regain my mood...

 

here the highlights with the overtime winning goal of yesterdays 5th and unfortunately last match of the Banská Bystrica - Košice series (1-0 after Overtime and 4-1 overall in the series)

    • We don’t even have a broadcaster or streaming platform for the games ! IOC couldn’t get any deal for the Indian viewers and we can’t watch this games live ! 
    • 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
