Good evening!

My name is Marcus and I will comment tonights game between HV71 and Red Bull Salzburg in Group C.

Hello everybody!

My name is Marcus and I'm going to be the reporter of tomorrows CHL-game between HV71 and Red Bull Salzburg.

These two teams have a history between them, as they met in the CHL Group stage last year. Salzburg won both games and therefore seems to have a little advantage.

For upcoming season, HV71 have made a great change in the organisation. New coaching staff, some new players and a new board of directors. How this have effected the team, we don't know yet. But what we do know, is that HV71 wants revenge from last years meetings.

HV71 have some great players who needs some extra attention. Martin Thörnberg, Simon Önerud, Ryan O' Byrne, Emil Johansson, Chris Campoli, Erik Christensen, Jere Karalahti, Chris Abbott and Oscar Sundh.

Red Bull Salzburg is playing their second game in CHL. Yesterday they lost against Sönderjyske Vojens 4-1 and this is something Salzburg isn't pleased with.

As they now are visiting HV71 and Kinnarps Arena, Jönköping, they will certainly go for a third straight win against HV71.

Players that need some extra attention in Salzburg are, Brett Sterling (former HV71), Kyle Beach (former HV71), Mattias Trattnig, Thomas Raffl and John Hughes.

The game will start at 19.00 Swedish time in Kinnarps Arena, Jönköping. I will be back then.

Welcome. Game starts at 19:00.
