Confused yet? The Lakers are in Grupp E of the Champions League. Växjö Lakers were drawn to Group E with Cardiff Devils, HC Davos and Bili Tygri Liberec. For the fourth consecutive year, Växjö Lakers have qualified for games in the Champions Hockey League. The 32 teams from across Europe are divided into eight groups of 4 teams. Each team plays six group game matches, one at home and one away match against each team in the group. The teams put one and two in the group move on to the final play. The group play for the 2017-18 season starts on August 24 and ends on October 11th. Sixteen teams in the playoff are required four rounds to designate the winner of CHL 2017/18. The first three rounds (Eighth, Final and Semifinal) consist of two matches, a home match and a away match just like previous seasons. The playoff starts on 31 October and ends with a final on February 6, 2018. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 EP looked at as one of the ten most likely candidates for "Rookie of Year" in SEL (SHL) SKOGLUND: Tio kandidater till rookietiteln i SHL 2018 Roughly translated (sorry, not my best language): Elias Pettersson (fw), Växjö The Super Talent was drafted as fifth player this summer by Vancouver and spotted a brilliant future on the other side of the Atlantic. But first he will be debuting in SHL and he does in Växjö where he came from Timrå this summer. The 18-year-old has all the opportunities to become an attraction in SHL. He also needs no pressure to deliver in Växjö, as there are others who can handle that task as well. Will get grow into it. It may be useful for Pettersson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's got to be semi-pro, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are another one that should come over the Europe and learn about the professional hockey here. It is indeed "that" Cardiff and they are very much a professional team. A fair number of Canadians. They will be in tough against the Lakers and Davos HC in this grouping but they play a disciplined defensive style and have some good goaltending this year.

Sounds a bit iffy to me, having a team in Wales. No way a team there could sustain full time professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I travel to Europe on a sports vacation, it will be to watch soccer, not hockey. I still believe it's the best place for Pettersson this season though.

Uh, they do just fine. Why do you say that? Have you been to one of their games? While only about 3000 spectators can fit in the rink, it is usually loud and full to the rafters with some of the best fans in Europe. They even have seven retired jerseys in their storied franchise. Again, come to Europe and check out some hockey that will surprise you Alf! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's professional but quite low quality. I went to a game a few years ago to watch the defending league champs play and it was awful. Pretty sure any AHL team, and many of the better jnr teams would have been able to beat them. On a funny side note, one of the players on the ice was Theo Fleury. It was his last kick at the professional can. A couple of games after the one I watched he got suspended for going after a fan who was taunting him while he was serving a penalty.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 (edited) 12 game "Mega Thursday" of Champions League action: http://www.championshockeyleague.com/en/news/12-games-on-mega-chl-thursday Växjö Lakers (Pettersson) vs HC Davos gamecenter (start: 09:30) Cardiff Devils vs. Bílí Tygři Liberec (Jašek) gamecenter (start: 11:00) KAC Klagenfurt vs Frölunda Indians (Gunnarsson) gamecenter (start: 10:30) TPS Turku (Palmu) vs. SC Bern gamecenter (start: 09:00) Not sure if Palmu will be playing. He's just over two weeks into his injury recover (return was estimated at 2-4 weeks).

Spitfire_Spiky Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Dam the fans at the game above are louder and more excited for this game then our fans get. Wish they had an area/fans like this at Rogers arena. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Did the Lakers coach just say "Don't get too horny?" Also, it's cool that they actually have the coaches mic'd during the games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
