wubbs Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 For anyone interested in attending a local ice hockey game, Sparta Praha are likely to finish second in the league and advance to the quarter final play-offs. Assuming they do finish second in the league, the 5th play-off game will be on Wednesday 23rd March. The play-off tie is the best of 7, so the first team to win 4 games wins the tie. If either team wins the first 4 games (which are played on the 16th, 17th, 20th, 21st) then this game will not happen. Hope that's clear! Tickets will be available online a few days before. Slavia Praha may also have a home game on the 23rd, but there are more variables involved (they have to avoid finishing below 4th in the league, win their quarter-final, and take the semi-final to the 6th game) I'll provide updates nearer the time; for more info on Ice hockey (and football) in Prague please see my blog post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarky1606 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 We arrive at 1745 and staying in old town - any idea what time K.O will be and is the venue central? I go to watch the Aberdeen Lynx ice hockey team on occasion and it is always a good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McToot Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Great, thanks for the update. I take it the way the fixtures will pan out it will def be in Prague if it goes to game 5? Been lucky over the years seeing Milan Vipers and Olympic Ljubjana in play off matches and the Bruins last time in Prague. Fingers crossed make this as well. I'll look out my Edinburgh Racers top :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go to watch the Aberdeen Lynx ice hockey team on occasion and it is always a good night. Sparta tend to start their midweek games around 18:30. It's 10 minutes by metro (mustek to ceskomoravska). It's probably too tight for time, but maybe it will be slightly later to accommodate TV. Slavia game would probably be 17:30 or 18:00 1 hour ago, McToot said: Great, thanks for the update.

I'll look out my Edinburgh Racers top :-) Yeah, game 5 will def be in Prague. They're currently 9 points behind 1st place and 11 above 3rd. Can't see that changing over the next 8 games. I also can't see them winning the QF in 4 games, so I'm fairly confident there will be a game on the 23rd. Slavia are likely to play Kladno in the SF, which would probably be a better game (despite them being in a lower league). Slavia are in a bit of a mess at the moment though Didn't realise the Burins were playing in Prague last time and had already booked my travel - that would have been at the O2 arena? Would have like to have seen that. Play-off matches are usually a great atmosphere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McToot Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Great info Wubbs, thanks. Might be tight for time, but if needs must I'll jump in a taxi from airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where it is normally ,as I needed it during the World Championships last year. 25 minutes ago, jimstroma said: Any games likely to be on the Friday or Saturday after our game? Probably not in Prague, but i'll post an update nearer the time. There might be a game in somewhere like Plzen or Hradec Kralove if it goes the full 7 games. A deciding game wold be a great atmosphere and experience. If it's a draw after 60 minutes they play next goal the winner. Went to a game where they played 54 minutes of over time.

We don't arrive till about 9pm on the Wed so its a no go for us. If there was any on the Friday however. Would certainly be different than watching Solway Sharks ladies.

Sparta finished second, and will find out their opponents for the quarter final by the end of next week. Just need to hope they lose one of the first four games to ensure a fifth game Slavia also looking good for the next round as they only need to win 2 out of their next 5. Was at my teams play-off game yesterday which chalked up an impressive 94 penalty minutes. Certainly more interesting than the regular season games!

Tartan Queen Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 Anything for the Friday or Saturday would be interested as one of the kids coming with us goes to all the ice hockey games in Dundee and he's right into it. A shame we don't arrive until after 10pm on the Wednesday or would have taken him to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a relegation battle, so could be a decent game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it is easy to get to/from there? I will speak to Drew tonight and see if he wants to go and if not I will take Sonny on my own. We are staying 2 streets back from Old Town Square so really quite central. Sonny would love that. That would take care of Friday then. Only got to find something to do for the Saturday, hopefully some museum will be open as they are both into history and like places like that when we are away - can't get them into a museum here but they enjoy finding out the history of the country we are in ......

The last train appears to be 22.12 back to Prague. Do you think this would this be enough time from game finishing to get back to the train station to catch this train. All help here really appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All help here really appreciated. Game starts at 5 so should be done by 7:30. Loads of time. There are various classes of train, avoid the Pendolino Super City (listed as SC) as you need a seat reservation. It's best to buy a return ticket on the day at the station (a group ticket will give you a cheaper price) and won't restrict you to a specific train.

Thanks for that Wubbs, wasn't going to book on-line, just had a look as wanted to make sure we would be able to get back!! Can now go and book the ice hockey tickets if we can still get them. Really appreciate all your help here. Due you a beer or three when we are there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
