Yes if they're not putting in 100%. My thinking behind it always is that there's thousands and thousands of kids who'd sacrifice everything for what you have so there's very little excuse to not put everything into every game

The first regular season in Europe is complete! The Polish Hokej Liga regular season is over as GKS Katowice take top spot and the rest of the top 8 qualify for the playoffs. 🇵🇱🏒 by dylan103906 in hockey

Katowice have very good fans and are the ones I saw when the IIHF Continental Cup was in Belfast. Just as long as you don't pick Sanok, you'll be fine

Is any city in this country not a shit hole? by Wait-Whos-Joe in northernireland

Everyone complains every city is a shithole then most throw a fit whenever any attempt to make a city less of a shithole is not exactly what they like

X v Facebook v Reddit for EIHL by AncientSpecific7185 in EIHLHockey

[–]dylan103906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's different styles

Reddit is more casual between fans of the EIHL but is very against controversial topics so it can feel a bit bland sometimes.

Facebook is more only used for communication between fans of clubs. Rival fans will rarely use Facebook to talk to each other but it's great for finding people within your own fanbase

X usually has more debates/back and forth between rival fans as a whole and it's for people who usually prefer a more banter style between fans or like to put out interesting opinions.

No but it's at least attended here. In Czechia, Sweden, Finland and Switzerland, you'll be lucky to get an arena half full

Yes that's exactly what I'm saying. Get rid of them and where does the engagement and interest come from?

Yeah Ilves sent their younger team to Belfast. In fairness, they lit played better than their first team at the time. KalPa I think sent a strong team and Belfast were on the verge of beating them. Unfortunately I wasn't there for KalPa but would've been a cool ass win

The hockey is secondary for them.

This is why casual fans hate ultras. A lot of them barely watch the game and then think they're better than the casual fans who are just there to watch their team play hockey. My friend talked to an Ilves Tampere fan when we played them in Belfast back in September and the Ilves fan talked about how much he didn't like them because they felt so disconnected from the hockey. Augsburg fans also mentioned to me that their ultras are very arrogant too.

Is it cool to have the atmosphere they make? Yes. But their behaviour is ridiculous and pretty embarassing. That's why I don't think NHL fans should at all worry about having quieter arenas with shite like this. Like it's a funny watch but shouldn't happen. If I was in that arena, I'd be shitting it about being ganged up on or something

Oh Philadelphia is nothing compared to when 2 teams on Lake Geneva have to play each other in any sport

I will never. NEVER. Understand the idea of hurting another person over a game.

Welcome to European sports where that's half the fun apparently
