Spengler Cup

[Pouchkine]

yeah, like gord miller and ray ferraro...non stop blah blah blah...not a fan

Miller is a great play by play guy but Ferraro is the one bringing him to do all the blah blah. Really awful tournament by Magnitogorsk, I really don't get the thing about accepting the offer and then not playing your best...

Great effort so far by Nurnberg, 20 minutes to go.

Or the KHL is overrated? !

 

[PanniniClaus]

if this is what the KHL is going to bring lets get a 2nd Swiss team or a Swedish team.

 

[Canuckroyal]

Magnitogorsk is playing juniors on the ice. Get a Swedish team on the ice or even try and invite an AHL team.

I'm going to try and get tickets to this event in the future as it looks like a blast. Anyone know what a tournament pass goes for?

 

[Inkling]

Are they even trying to win?

 

[Canuckroyal]

Are they even trying to win?

They didn't even take a timeout. We'll on to the next game!

 

[Jablkon]

Where are Ultras Davos?

 

[Scott Stevens]

I have no idea how people salivate over some Canada slanted and focused tourney like the world junior championship and seem to think the Spengler Cup is some ugly stepsister. I haven’t gone to a game anytime world junior championship is in Vancouver, but I’m already planning a trip to Davos for Spengler Cup 2019. Do people even have eyes? Like wtf.

 

[Pouchkine]

Most people these days can't think for themselves that's why. I used to love the World Juniors but these days it's a big cash grab and when they took out the great format of 1st straight in semis and 2vs.3 in 1/4 it made the round robin useless. The Spengler Cup is nice atmosphere, big ice and fun hockey albeit at times lacking in high end skill. The Spengler is like the great little tournament you played as a kid during the holidays...

I don't know about lacking skill. I watched Davos vs Trinec yesterday. Very fast and skilled hockey game.

For the hockey, Spengler Cup is bettee than WJHC, the players are older and better and the teams are more evenly matched.

I'm planning to go to the Spengler Cup as it looks like a blast! The Vaillant Arena is beautiful.

Lol Bieksa.

Ice Tigers make score closer 4-2 now

 

[Pouchkine]

Canada-Davos or Canada-Finland should make a great final.

Canada-Davos or Canada-Finland should make a great final.

Canada v Davos would be an ideal final.

 

[Inkling]

As much as I cheer for Canada, not sure if it's good for the tournament if they win it every year. If Canada wins again this year maybe in the future they should stick to picking players currently playing in Europe, rather than bringing in people from North America. That said, they looked more vulnerable as the game went on today.

 

[snipes]

Wooo!!

HC Davos ties it 1-1

 

[Inkling]

Wooo!!

HC Davos ties it 1-1

Only the second goal given up by the team this tournament. Kuopio are back on top leading 2-1 now. I could see them giving the Canadians a challenge.

2.5 hours!

 

[jonas2244]

Texier is such a talent for French ice-hockey. Not far away from being an NHL-ready player.

 

[Scott Stevens]

6 man breakout on the PP This better not cost Canada!

 

[Hagstrom]

Kuopio has been playing some rope-a-dope this game so far

 

[PG Canuck]

Winnik!!!

 

[Scott Stevens]

Weak call

 

[Hagstrom]

Big PK
