and it's celebration day in Sweden and Russia...:champion:

 

in the SHL, Växjö Lakers won the 4th game in a row against Skellefteå (5-0 on the road, today) and swept the Finals 4-0. Elias Pettersson (not even 20 years young) was the eponymous of this playoffs, earning both the scoring title and the Finals' MVP prize.

 

On the other side, the KHL ended with the surprising win of AK Bars Kazan, who won today's game #5 on their home ice 1-0 and conquered the Gagarin Cup with a 4-1 series score against the big favourites, CSKA Moscow.

 

In Germany, on the contrary, Red Bull Munich missed the first "match point" at home, losing game #5 of the DEL Finals against Eisbären Berlin by a score of 6-5 (after OT). However, they still lead the series 3-2.

 

More about Czech and Slovak leagues, later...

and here we go with today's final update...:d

 

In the Czech Republic, Kometa Brno successfully defend their title, winning game #5 against Ocelari Trinec on the road by a score of 4-1, the same result of the Extraliga final series...

 

In Slovakia, instead, we're just looking at an improbable comeback by Dukla Trencin, who were down 3-0 in the series against Banskà Bystrica, but now are tied 3-3, after winning game #6 (this time really in Banskà Bystrica :lol:) by a score of 3-2.

The decisive game #7 is scheduled for next Tuesday in Trencin (h.18.00 CET).

 

see U tomorrow, after Liiga's game #4...:bye:

I watched that game...and it was quite obvious from the early stages that it was going into BB's direction...

the first period was very tactical, but BB did control the pace and did have the most shots on goal...

in the second period, DT did have a flashy start and even took the lead with a quick counter by Bezuch, but BB's line with the French-Canadian duo Faille/Asselin (with the participation of local big boy Hrnka) immediately tied the game and in a few seconds Pavol Skalicky turned things around...

in the 3rd period DT tried to give their best, but they never got very close to the 2nd goal and when Asselin scored BB's 3rd goal it was all over for the red and yellow guys...

the final 2 scores by Faille and Skalicky (nice double for both guys) were just cosmetics...

to be honest, I expected a lot more from DT...but it was clear from the beginning of the match that they haven't been able to set down their nerves before this decider on one side and that they were physically empty after the great comeback from 0-3 to 3-3 in the final series on the other side...

 

 

and after the well deserved celebration of Banskà Bystrica's success, we also have to remember the other 2 games played yesterday in the Finnish and German leagues' finals.

 

in both cases, anyway, the title wasn't won by the teams that could have closed the series...

 

in the 5th game of the Liiga finals, infact, Tappara Tampere won a crazy match on the ice of Kärpät Oulu by a score of 5-4 and shortened the distance in the series to 2-3. Now they will play game #6 at home tomorrow, with a good chance to send the finals to the decisive game #7 (if needed, next Saturday in Oulu).

 

meanwhile in Germany, Eisbären Berlin did take advantage of the home building and won game #6 of the DEL finals against Red Bull Munich (5-3 the score from yesterday night), thus forcing another potentially spectacular game #7, which is scheduled for tomorrow (h.19.00 CET) in Munich.

as they say, "not to be missed"...

 

Finally, I also have to mention tonight's game #6 of the Swiss NLA Finals between Zurich Lions and HC Lugano. Puck drop at 20.15 CET, with the Lions leading the series 3-2, just one win short of the title.

 

We'll write about it tomorrow...:bye:

as promised, let's write a couple of words about the Swiss NLA Finals, game #6...

 

first of all, we have to say that it was a really exciting game...very tight...and we have to say also that we're going to have a wonderful (in perspective, at least) game #7, since yesterday Lugano won it on the road by a score of 3-2 and tied the series, which means that any decision is posponed to tomorrow night in Lugano (puck drop @ 20.15 CET).

 

Last night's game did see Lugano  taking the lead once...and twice...but Zurich always came back...

finally, with a bit more than 3 minutes to play, a relentless action by Lugano's checking line put Maxime Lapierre (who was double shifting through most of the game) in condition to strike the game winner with a diabolic deflection in front of Flueler's cage...

the last 3 minutes were a pure demonstration of pride and bravery by Lugano players  (those stil able to play, since the team is heavily plagued by injuries), who were able to stop Zurich's desperate final assault with empty net...

to be mentioned, because it could have a lot of reflections on game #7, the horrendous and infamous check to the head and neck area suffered by HCL top scorer of the playoffs and absolute locker room leader, Maxime Lapierre, by the Swedish star and top goal scorer of the Zurich Lions, Fredrik Pettersson...

should Lapierre miss the decisive game of the season and the Swedish guy still be allowed to play, it would be one of the major scandals in the Swiss hockey history...

I really hope that Mad Max can play tomorrow and Pettersson gets disqualified, because hockey is a rude sport, but those coward attempts to deliberately get the best player of the opposing team injured can't be accepted at any level, anywhere and at any time...:facepalm::wall:

and today it's time to...

 

 

also in Germany and Finland...

 

In the Finnish Liiga, infact, Kärpät Oulu just won another title thanks to a goal scored with only 4:28 minutes still to be played in regulation of the 6th game of the series. 1-0 the score of today's match in Tampere and 4-2 the final score of the final series for Kärpät.

 

On the other side, in the German DEL a sprint start (4-1 after the 1st period, 6-3 the final score) in the decisive game #7 secured Red Bull Munich the second success in a row. Nothing could do all the efforts of the Eisbären Berlin to try and comeback also in today's match.

 

And tomorrow (20.15 CET) in Lugano there will be another decisive game #7, this time in the Swiss NLA, which is (unusually for them) the last of the main European leagues to come to a close this year...

I just can't wait for my personal 5th game #7 in just over 3 days...:lol::bounce:

    • Actually, it seems Wicklow Irish Pub is an actual small chain in the city of Queretaro in  
    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?
