It depends on the record aggregated till the semifinal, basically the point system continues also on the playoff round (in order to have a sort of ranking) and the semifinalist with more points will host the final. Only exception is if the venue of one of the semifinalist cannot organize such a...

1/8: Pardubice 1/4: Lukko 1/2: Vaxjo Final: Farjestad/Skelleftea

1/8: Pardubice 1/4: Lukko 1/2: Vaxjo Final: Farjestad/Skelleftea

It should be Pardubice if I am not wrong

Have we decided to go with Vitkovice -> Vaxjo -> Lukko/Skelleftea -> Farjestad/Pardubice?

I finish your very good analysis saying it would be one between skelleftea and vaxjo in semifinal and potentially fbk in final. It’s with no doubt we need to get 1 point tomorrow because the effort of Swedish teams can vary a lot and if they don’t do the best they can be potentially eliminated...

Tomorrow 1 point, munchen is not in its best season atm (anyway it’s always dangerous and has a good tradition in this competition) but I would say it’s better considering the quarter final potential opponent. Go Rouen :)

I would say an incredible loss for tappara, not for the fact you cannot lose in Switzerland but because the team was upset and in confusion in the third period. It was showed the gronborg face in last 2 mins and he was sort of shocked for the outcome. Doesn’t matter how much you consider this...

It would create a “big” surprise if the reigning champion should not be in the top 16 the following year. Will this be happening? For me no

For me the ongoing problem is we’r losing a bit the spirit of the team. I didn’t see the today game but… if it was similar to yesterday I have the idea we are thinking that Palve can solve everything (and also he thinks this himself because yesterday I saw actions where he held the puck when it...

Tonight Assat demonstrated more spirit than us, in particular in the third period where theorethically they would have had to pay the effort of having played one day after than us. A bit also of nervousness in particular of Palve. Let’s go to the next game with more application

Interesting to add: if we should have a 3 points win, lukko is not gaining 3 points, tappara will get 2 in bienne and pelicans doesn’t lose in salzburg there will be a worth to notice ILVES-TAPPARA! Some combinations needed but nothing completely out of the box. We will see what the destiny will...

We have a great plus. We will play with a team (Rouen) where we clearly have an advantage in terms of quality and when… we will know exactly the ranking because the other games at the same time of our game doesn’t count for the position we need to take care. So it’s like in some way we can...

I would say the difference of the level between the two leagues has been showed but… we have been in the game so proud of this. How many attendees have been at the game?

A good game, karpat is probably in an other transition year but for the first 16-18 min we have had a very good intensity and with forechecking and attention they basically were not able even to be close to malek. If we are able to elevate this to the entire game there will be trouble for any...

I cannot comment this game having had no time for leasure this afternoon but I would say it’s a big accomplishment to have won a game against ifk, in particular having had less time to come back from yesterday game. We are on the right path then, I would have signed for 2 win, honestly I would...

We were underdogs and we acted exactly as those, focusing on play simple, compact and with quick combinations in front of the net in order to create the “right chance” to score. An other time this demonstrate how motivations can do the difference in the ongoing sport, where often the difference...

I would start with a joke… the previous trainer has been fired for much less. A part from this the problem now is nothing works, self confidence is at the minimum, any player would like to create anything but if we don’t sound as a unique entity there’s always that discontinuity in the movements...

It’s hard to play in a more confused way than the first two half tonight. Bad defensively and more oriented to search for the single bounce in attack. We are not playing as a team

Hard to comment a game where you had played the day before and the opponent no. Anyway this game confirmed we probably pay a season started with tough games on aug 31 and we are now a bit tired. Our roster is good but not so good to win games if we don’t play our best, in particular with big...
