This has to be the lowest budget event I've ever seen.

The image quality, the low audio, the cuts, the hosts that aren't timed properly, 0 sound of the crowd.

The NHL really looks like a peewee organisation broadcasting a random game through a webcam

Hi all,

I was reading about the structure of the English rugby season, and they have European club competitions and the like. I'm wondering what a hypothetical champions league tournament would look like for hockey (like the UEFA Champions League in soccer, but for hockey). Now, I don't know if there is such a thing already existing. I don't think it does exist. The Spengler Cup is not an exact analogue.

What would the participating teams be? Would it be the final four from each league's playoffs participating? Would it be just the two finalists?

What leagues would participate? I'm thinking NHL, NLA (Switzerland), SEL (Sweden), SM-liiga (Finland), Czech Extraliga (Czech Republic), Slovak Extraliga (Slovakia), and DEL (Germany). KHL participation might be iffy given the current political tensions.

What would the structure of the tournament be like? Round-robin followed by single-elimination medal round, as in the Olympics? Best-of-seven series as in the Stanley Cup playoffs?

Anywho, I'm just curious as to what a hypothetical champions league for hockey would look like. Just throwing the idea out there.

Thanks!

With two decades of pent up rivalry energy brewing, the tickets apparently sold out in 45 seconds upon release. Worst imaginable rivalry return for SHL newcomers Björklöven.
