5 on 3 seems just too crippling, other than that... Well, I like hockey as most I think most hockey fans do so I don't really see the need for a change. But if powers that be decide hockey needs more goals and changes have to be made, this is a reasonable step. Just, once again, they need to fix 5v3.

Make the second penalty 1 minute or allow the 2nd penalized player to come out of the box to make it 5v4 after a goal, whatever that may be, but currently, it's not fine. With current rules, the penalty making it 5v3 was often effectively way worse than a 5-minute major or a penalty shot.

I dont like it personaly. Dont understand the need for constantly changing the rules not only in hockey but also in football, to came with something revolutionary ....

Why changing something that is working? For me its just for the sake, that people who are in charge of this are creating the illusion that they are actually emiting some work and that they get paid. Thats all there is.

The Grönborg effect + weak roster, but they can still advance I think?

No they can´t. They´re eliminated for sure.

since I don't follow Liiga that closey I can't say anything about roster changes but I wasn't impressed with Grönborg when he was in Zurich in contrast to what Tappola has achieved in berne so far, but I guess that's not that surprising for our finnish friends

Tappara is leading Liiga by a good margin. But their results have been better so far than xG or Corsi suggests.

 

[SoundAndFury]

So long story short, Innsbruck is the only small league team that gets into top-16, Tappara the only team that drops out. Shockingly, good teams in the good leagues are better than those in worse ones.

Of course, but still one watches Rouen destroy Ilves and wonders what the heck is going on.

is not tappara nr 1 in liiga standings??

 

[Lambo]

Could it be that Tappara has other goals this season? The CHL doesn't seem to be that important. Because it's strange that the sovereign 1st place in the Liiga fails,in the CHL but the other 3 (Lukko, Ilves, Pelicans) are easily in the round of 16.

Out of 5 Ilves' leading scorers in Liiga only Matikivi played. Some defensemen were probably missing as well.

By the way same case with Belfast beating Pardubice. It was the last matchday in the group stage after all.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Skellefteå you’re a shame for Sweden!

 

[Lambo]

What was going on with the Pelicans? No ice or what?But they really want to play in the CHL. LOL

This competition is not going well at all for the Finnish teams.

 

[Eye of Ra]

3 of the 8 teams in qf is from sweden,,,färjestad, växjö and skellefteå,, suprising due to how weak the swedish League is

 

[vorky]

Fans in Skellefteå had to left the arena due to a fire alarm.
