Our second (?) good game of the tournament between the Finns and Americans. Even the Finns couldn't dig themselves out of that hole in the end though. 

Shame, in at least one aspect, that the tournament won't be back in Europe next year with the likelihood of hearing this song again:

Lost on all the World's talk, lots of changes this year with the AHL

3 Teams have opted out

Charlotte Checkers

Milwaukee Admirals

Springfield Thunderbirds*

* - a) Springfield is now affiliated with the Blues b) since these clubs opted out, secondary affiliation is allowed so the Blues will get players from the Utica Comets (not sure about the other two teams)

4 Teams are temporarily relocating to be closer to their parent clubs

Binghamton Devils (New Jersey) will play in Newark, NJ

Ontario Reign (LA) will play in El Segundo, CA

Providence Bruins (Boston) will play in Marlborough, MA

San Diego Gulls (Anaheim) will play in Irvine, CA

League will be realigned - at least temporarily - for this season and at the moment the season will start Feb 5

So remember all this - yup completely blown out of the water because the Stockton Heat have decided to play in Calgary.

So the AHL - with 10 days before the season opens - has to completely realign and reschedule

Quick affiliate shuffle in the AHL:

Flames move from Utica to Abbotsford, BC.

Devils move from Binghamton to Utica.

And Bingo quickly fills the void left by the Devils.

KHL President Alexei Morozov on the continuation of the KHL championship.
On February 4, the twenty-fourth Winter Olympic Games opened in Beijing. This is a long-awaited event for both athletes and fans. For several weeks, sport will bring together people of different ages around the world. The Kontinental Hockey League has tried to do everything possible so that the players playing for ten national teams - and these are 120 people from 22 KHL clubs - could take part in the most important event for every athlete and adequately represent their country. The national teams of Russia and China consist entirely of players from the League clubs. Teams from Latvia, the Czech Republic and Finland - by half or more. The representation of the League will be forty percent of the total number of participants in the Olympiad.

The structure of the Continental Hockey League season initially took into account the need for a pause in connection with the Olympic Games. The players arrived at the location of their national teams on time, and today most of them are already in Beijing.

While we are waiting for Olympic hockey, we continue to work on preparing for the most important part of the season - the playoffs. And he promises to be stubborn and unpredictable, as there is no clear favorite in the fight for the Gagarin Cup.

In order for the playoffs to take place, taking into account the current situation with the pandemic, as comfortably as possible for the participating teams and fans, the League will submit for approval by the KHL Board and Board of Directors and agreement with the FHR the decision not to play the remaining games of the regular season and approve a new procedure for determining the results of the regular championship this season.

There are several reasons for this, including the ongoing pandemic, there is a risk of infection of players in the remaining matches of the regular season, as they would have to fly to different cities. Therefore, the League decided to focus on holding the Gagarin Cup according to the optimal structure, when at each stage the matches take place every other day, and no more than four matches take place per day (two in each conference).

Before the start of the series, all players will be able to quarantine in their team. And an extra day between games will allow you to quickly change retiring players. Mass infection of players in one of the series will not jeopardize the conduct of other matches.

The League considered various options for determining the results of the regular season and determining the participants in the playoffs. It was important to find a fair formula and guarantee equal conditions for all clubs, including taking into account the different number of matches played by the teams. As a result, the most objective option was chosen - to distribute sixteen teams according to the percentage of points scored from the maximum possible number. This is a well-known and proven practice of fixing results. It has already been applied both in Russia and in the world.

Some teams that until the last moment claimed a place in the playoffs will not get into the cup eight in their conferences. But under the circumstances, this is the only optimal solution that will allow us to finish the season and determine the champion.

The new start date for the playoffs is March 1st.

Dear friends! Fans! All hockey fans!

Continental Hockey League games will be back to you very soon. With a game of the highest level, bright in intensity and emotions.

Good health to all and see you on the ice arenas.

I think that happened in futbol once, where someone scored a WC goal and his club team in that country cut him.

 

More recently, Arizona State had a quarterback transfer and his teammates filmed themselves going through his locker and insulting him.
