Probably not much different to Angers?

The beer? I don't know. Someone told me that food, beer etc are slightly more expensive down the south and closer to Switzerland. It won't make much difference anyway haha

In the hope we make the final I'm booking hotels but where do we think the final may be, I'm thinking Denmark

Denmark or Cardiff were my thoughts.

 

[Kevlar68]

I've booked a hotel in herning but it's a bugger of a journey to get to from Copenhagen

So first games are:

14:00 (CEST) CSM Corona Brasov (ROU) vs Liege Bulldogs (BEL)
18:00 (CEST) Zemgale Jelgava (LAT) vs HK Celje(SLO)

I haven't looked at the teams in depth but I would guess the likely winner would come out of the second game. HK Celje have started the season poorly but they have Slovenian internationals playing for them. Zemgale are top of the Latvian league at the moment, although not convinced that league is as strong as the one Celje are playing in.

My knowledge of Romanian and Belgian hockey is next to non-existent so I might be doing them a disservice but my call would be for HK Celje to edge the win and join us in Grenoble

And I am immediately going to argue against myself.... just checked Brasov's roster and not only are they playing in the Erste Liga (I believe Gleeson Fournier is still there?) but their roster looks a class apart from the other teams. Their starting NM has AHL experience and they have several players with significant NA experience.

Three names from the EIHL: Chase Schaber who was with Fife for some years, Jared VanWormer (ex-Storm) and Sebastien Piche, whose moustache was more impressive than his defending for the Steelers last year.

On paper they should walk this group.

Fournier plays in ICEHL. That league has 4/5 countries involved.
