Devils start with a win over Angers. Today's game with Jesenice should be the decider as both start 1/1

Poor competition the Conti Cup these days. Just look at some of the previous winners who used to be in it...Zurich Lions, Jokerit,Slovan Bratislava,Ambrì-Piotta, Red Bull Salzburg,Kosice,HC Martin,Yunost Minsk to name just some. |

Congratulations on qualifying for the Super final.
Could they equal Panthers success?

Asiago currently 12th in Alps League, out of 13. HK Nitra (including Marek Tvrdon) currently 10th of 12 in Slovakia Extraliga. Cardiff will have the confidence of having beaten Angers anyway. So i'd say they have a very good chance of winning

Almost like there was a new separate tournament for those elite level teams to play in after those teams you've named all won it...? What would be a good addition is if they linked up with the CHL and did something similar to football where the 3rd placed team in the UCL group stage drops into the Continental Cup in a later round. Would increase the quality and bridge the gap. |

Would increase the quality and bridge the gap. Well that’s basically what they’ve done by reducing the number of teams in the CHL,presumably pushing some better teams into the Conti Cup. The Conti Cup presently is poor, as a Panthers coach said to me just after they’d won the Conti Cup “it was way easier than winning the Challenge Cup”. |

Minsk have won it since we did.
Nothing wrong with the CC being a second tier competition, still well worth winning. No one else has managed it since we did. In fact it would be very good for the league's standing in Europe if we could start bagging a few between us.
I'd rather they didn't parachute teams in as lucky losers, IMO it does the Europa League no favours in football.
Anyhow, good luck to Cardiff in the final.

Final weekend. Winner only receives the tea tray and not an automatic CHL spot.Devils up against HK Nitra and Asiago who are both near the bottom of their leagues, and hosts Angers, who Devils beat in the SF. Devils should be favourites.

Devils should be favourites. I didn’t realise they would be playing a Slovakian team and Asiago who are in the ICEHL, both leagues are better standards than the EIHL imo. That won’t be easy |

It was weird watching the game last night with no commentary. One thing that stood out for me was how quiet the crowd was too. Decent attendance but damn quiet

Cardiff hammered Asiago today, 7-1. They could do with Nitra beating Angers later, make their game with Nitra a winner takes all tomorrow.

Nitra do beat Angers - just. Looked comfortable at 2-0 deep in the third, only for Angers to get 2 in the final 3 minutes to take it to overtime. Nitra ultimately winning the shootout.
Reckon Cardiff need to beat Nitra in regulation to be champs. An OT win would open the door for all 3 sides ending on 6 points, and make us all do hard sums to work it out.

Nitra won 3-2. Cardiff's PP was shocking. They had a 5 minute PP near the end of the game and did nothing with it.

And still no one can replicate our win.
Looks like a great little rink over in Angers.
