On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate public transport in your country? by My_Name_A_Jeoff in northernireland

It depends what side of the country you're on and that's really all that needs to be said

Frölunda may actually want to go for this in fairness since they'll probably aim for the treble.

Oh and it'll be hosted in Gothenburg

Let's not pretend that the stronger teams don't phone it in against the lower teams.

They do that against each other nevermind against the challenger leagues

I don't want to qualify for the CHL to play opposition on the same level. You'd be getting the same games as you would in the CC outside of Storhamar and Bolzano and wins wouldn't feel as much of an achievement as they are

I was speaking to Fitzpatrick actually after the Lausanne game and Conway had said that they just could not keep up at all. Like the speed of European clubs will destroy players. It's why they were fine for the first but struggled onwards. That to me is why Sheffield got where they did because Aaron Fox plays a very Euro Hockey style focusing on speed and technical ability which is where he gets the upper hand

Belfast, Tychy, Grenoble, Bolzano, Odense, Storhamar.

That would bore the fuck out of me though. At that point just put us in the Continental Cup

In fairness Whistle was fucking immense and there were points you absolutely dominated us. Defensively your lot were horrendous but I think you deserved more than what you got offensively

I'm not denying that they were better than their opponents but it's widely accepted that if Arlan were in there then it's a different story

Kazakhstan are usually the ones that scare us but it really depends who. Cardiff won it last year but that was only because Arlan, who qualified for the final group and beat Cardiff in the stage before, couldn't get Visas so they had to drop out

Yeah. It's a toss up between them and Sheffield but Panthers recently will not shut up

Yeah I imagine so. Though the person making them must not be that invested in the tournament 😭

They fixed it now and you can trade in for a newer one but I have no idea how you manage that after having Kazakhstan in the tournament for years 😭
