So CHL has started again, thought I'd up this thread (I've edited the title as well.)

Nottingham put in a relatively good performance against Bern, but still lost 5-2. Cardiff got their backsides handed to them 10-1 by Davos :doh:

I will be rooting for the Finns again this year :thup:

Davos were always going to win that one quite comfortably no disrespect to Cardiff.
In contrast last season Steelers lost 8-1 I think it was to Salzburg then we beat them 5-2 at home so all hope is not lost.

I will keep fingers crossed for IFK Helsinki, because my first longer career in new EHM was with that team :) but fact that I like the most in CHL is that it's opportunity to see teams that normally would be impossible :) There were couple of good games already (Brynas vs IFK was fun to watch) and I was surprised that Mountfield outplayed TPS Turku that much.

I hope CHL will have better reputation in top hockey nations in few years.

I was expecting a big win, but not quite 10-1!

Good effort by Nottingham to beat Mountfield away, first EIHL team to win away from home in the CHL :thup:

Nottingham top of their group after a fantastic result against Bern this evening. Two games left against Turku, hopefully they can win one and get qualification :thup:

Amazing performance from Panthers ! While in France Gap is using CHL as pre-season drill games and it's a shame. I'd not be surprised if the CHL board doesn't allow a french slot next year.

He certainly seems to have started the season well :thup:

Cardiff beat Davos 4-3 in overtime, good victory for them too.
