Thats the coolest arena Ive ever seen.

 

[Systemfel]

Thats the coolest arena Ive ever seen.

The interior sucks, though. You sit about a mile from the ice even if you're in the lower bowl.

 

[Marty Straka]

6:15AM.. little to early for me lol... and that's gotta be the strangest arena ever!

 

[BalticWarrior]

Lets see if italy can pull a mircale in this game.

 

[Schalkenullvier*]

really looking forward to it, but what's with the early puck-drop? I don't mind it, but 12 in the morning seems like a stupid time to start a game even for europeans.

 

[kes81sel]

Germany should have this

 

[Eye of Ra]

No Barta!?

 

[DraftEligibleOHL]

No Ehrhoff? Cool globe arena. Lets go Germany!

 

[sturmthis]

No Barta!?

Barta is playing

 

[sturmthis]

No Ehrhoff? Cool globe arena. Lets go Germany!

Ehrhoff said no due to injury

 

[The Right Price]

Is Endras starting for Germany?

 

[sturmthis]

Is Endras starting for Germany?

I think he will only play 1 of the next two games. My gut tells me he won't play tomorrow and will be used against Latvia on Sunday.

It's not that bad...I've been there several times, and as long as you not too high up, you get a decent view of the action.

But it's not the best as a hockey arena, I admit.

It's a very cool landmark for Stockholm though.

 

[IIHFjerseycollector]

italy has a shot. hopefully bellisimo is in net and sirianni scores a pair..

 

[Stone Valley]

Ger 3-0

 

[Canada4Gold]

4-1 Germany

 

[The Bored Man]

There's a Group S? How many teams are in this tournament?

 

[Baba Booey]

Is Guilio Scandella any relation to Marco Scandella?

 

[Spinkis]

Someone had to play to fit the schedule.

 

[IIHFjerseycollector]

Is Guilio Scandella any relation to Marco Scandella?

brothers

 

[LtnCastillo]

There's a Group S? How many teams are in this tournament?

You're probably half joking, but I'm assuming we have Group Helsinki and Group Stockholm due to the new tournament structure. I actually like this longer round robin.

 

[Maverick41]

Sinan Akdag won't be playing. He is going to sit this one out along with Pätzold, Reul and Pietta. Vier Spieler bleiben erst einmal draussen

 

[Redhawk]

Is Endras starting for Germany?

It is confirmed that Endras will get the start against Italy today.

 

[Everlasting]

Doesnt germany have a really good player called wolf?

I will be cheering for Italy since their goalkeeper is now a part of my fav team
