That was the first thing that came to my head as well! Still funny.Again I don't blame him to prioritize his family over his career. But he already knew he was going to be a father when he went to America. Maybe he should have thought of that and maybe his wife should have learned the language a little better since Hoffman apparently worked toward this goal for years. Gregory could definitely have been smarter about the whole thing.

He is really a „simp“. Not to forget he went to lugano because of his ex girlfriend too back in the day.Again I don't blame him to prioritize his family over his career.

Really looking forward to the semis.
Same thoughts on both series mostly. Zurich's performance in the quarters wasn't convincing, especially on the offensive side. But I do hope they get the offense going now. But Fribourg will be tough.
I generally agree, but I really liked Fribourg's third and fourth line against Lausanne. They played all 4 lines also into the 3OT game which is key for me here. Keep them all rolling and then they can match up with ZSC. Of course that is also easier to say and do when the series unfolds like the Lausanne one and you basically play from in front all of the time.
Depends on the series. The NLA isn't as psysical as, for an example, Liiga. But in the playoffs the series can get pretty rough. Zurich -Lausanne last year was one ugly thing.
I would say he was referring to imports with the bad games... i could see how teams would be tempted to shop around for imports as they would make a big difference between winning and losing. I can't comment on McSorley's system as this is really the first i have ever of it.. sounded like a dream to play in.
It's probably gonna be Kloten, but I hope for Olten. Kloten played the finals last year and already signed their opponents best players in case they get promoted. Shitty move in my opinion.
Tbh I have not watched a lot of NLB games this year, but I did watch the first game yesterday and I would be very surprised if Kloten did not win the series. They are just overall better and with Wolf in goal are set really nicely there.
It did a while ago but I like the old school way more. That's what I grew up with and me and my friends still refer to NLA and NLB.
Yes, disappointing end to our (Gotteron) season but the series was definately tighter than the 4:0 result. Except for the last 1.5 periods every game could have gone either way really. Overall still a deserved victory for Zurich and I hope they win it all now. I don't want to see Bachofner's face anywhere near the pot.
Let's see about that. Some teams will probably start the season with only 5 imports, also I don't see all the teams being able to just extend their budgets like candy. So maybe we will see more foreigners as role players and not just the top shots. I definately see us still behind the KHL and SHL, let's see about the other leagues.
I agree with everything you wrote, but especially the bolded part. It was a good start into the series yesterday, will be tight.
It was a crazy finish to the game. Really spectacular for the neutral fan (and of course even more so for Zurich fans). That coaches challenge could really be the X-factor of the series when it is all said and done. I am very happy for Baltisberger, great goal and a cool guy, always enjoy his interviews.
