Continental cup final round

[NathanG]

The Conti cup is the only thing I'm looking forward to because we get a trip and we're more than capable of winning it. If we do we're in the CHL next year so there's that bonus also.

Good to see the welsh flag alongside the devils, on times its the union jack, believe it happened in the draw the last CHL

Ducs have just sacked their coach.

Translated from French by
| Mario Richer Since the start of the season, certain points of divergence have been highlighted between the coach and his team. After hearing both parties, the sports management took the decision to lay off the coach .


Tsk, what sort of an organisations does that just before the playoffs for a cup?

You sure it wasn't for wearing a padded waistcoat under a suit jacket ? I know they're French, but standards

Unforgiveable.
There were clearly behind the scenes issues but it is a ..... bold.... decision. Les Ducs are genuine contenders for the title which is a big surprise. It will be fascinating to see if it works out for them. Their remaining games in 2022 are all very winnable (Anglet, Bordeaux, Chamonix and Mulhouse) so any dropped points are likely to reflect badly on the players who appear have forced the coach out.

He'll probably end up back at Amien, they parted company with their coach this week. He was successful there previously

That's a good shout. He's had an interesting career - plenty of mid-season sackings but also a fair amount of success

Angers are comfortably placed third in their league only 5 points behind Grenoble, in the final of a European tournament and they part ways with their Coach, must a be a major problem there. Makes you wonder what a coach in our league would have to do before they're let go

Anyone still looking to travel? The Stanstead Thursday to Nantes returning Monday night is £37 return again. Prices dropped

 

[BostonBart22]

Wonder if there is a deadline for this cup to replace injured players I.E. long term coughler and jardine or is it different rules to eihl

Good shout. Confirmed today: https://www.lequipe.fr/Hockey-sur-g...ejoint-le-banc-des-gothiques-d-amiens/1372173

Angers appear to have carried on in a similar manner since he left - they dropped points at in-form Chamonix but beat Mulhouse to go second as we head into 2023

@Ger-Devils - When you say Time TBC but will be posted on your page for ticket collection, which page is that? And do you mean B4 the 1st game (16:30) or the 1st Devils game (20:00)?

 

[Gavevs88]

Do we know if there's any TV coverage??

I’ll post on Twitter and hear about collections and times. I’d be looking to hand out before the first game of the tournament even the morning

Not heard of any specific TV coverage, but I would assume Angers will be streaming it through FANSEAT

Or it might even be shown on the IIHF YouTube channel.
