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...

I remember that Norwegian game :d 

 

Not that I watched it, but I remember reading and I think even writing something about it on a Dutch sports website :p 

 

Yep, found it :d

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)

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
