	22:41	Mikael Samuelsson, Triple gold club member and player with more than 800 NHL games scores a game-winning overtime goal for Djurgården. Another story of big return of this inaugural CHL gameday. After coming back from 1-3 Djurgården records 2 points to the standings, Fribourg-Gottéron one. Djurgården Stockholm – Fribourg-Gottéron 5:4 after overtime.
	22:37	SønderjyskE Ishockey – IFK Helsinki goes to penalty shootout.
	22:36	Fribourg equalized in their game at Stockholm, so that one went to overtime, too. Two games still live.
	22:32	Växjö logs an impressive opening 6-1 victory over Adler Mannheim. Alexander Johansson contributed two goals.
Having a good comparison of European leagues was one of the aims of Champions Hockey League. And first opinions about the quality of leagues are emerging: If there's one thing that the opening day of the #CHL tells me, is that the Czech Extraliga is definitely not a league to be underestimated. — Jon Rowson (@JonRowson) August 21, 2014
		Two games still in progress and both 4:4. SønderjyskE Ishockey – IFK Helsinki went to overtime when IFK equalized in 60th minute, Djurgården Stockholm – Fribourg-Gottéron is a seconds shy away from overtime.
	22:24	The atmosphere is really hot at Les Vernets as Servette won 4:3. Fans are singing and clapping, this first CHL match was intense not only for players. But Geneva must pay attention for future games: having 3 goals to 0 doesn't mean you must win the game. Frölunda did try all their best and almost came back. But in the end, Geneva won 4-3.
All @championshockey games I've seen so far have been competitive and edgy. I missed hockey.... — Chris (@the_vreelander) August 21, 2014
	22:20	And there is big drama unfolding in Denmark! SønderjyskE holding on to a potentially huge upset against IFK Helsinki. 4-3 up with three minutes to go, the Finnish side is on a powerplay.
	22:16	Different fortunes for Swedish clubs late in the day. Frölunda loses the game at Geneve despite late comeback, but Vaxjo leads Mannheim 6-1 and Djurgården just took the lead in the game against Fribourg. 4-3 the current score.
	22:17	Bílí Tygři Liberec – Kärpät Oulu 3:4 final score. Liberec managed to get back into the game after a disastrous 0:4 start. They replaced goalie Lašák with Schwarz, but Oulu secured their victory at the end.
5044 spectators in Geneve, watching Servette defending their lead 4:3 180 seconds before the third period ends. 5044 spectateurs garnissent les gradins des Vernets ce soir.Merci pour votre soutien sans faille #CHL #GSHC — Geneve-Servette HC (@officialGSHC) August 21, 2014
	22:11	Djurgården ties the game against Fribourg after goals from Holmqvist and Ljungh. What a comeback early in the third period!
	22:08	Post game comments from Krefeld – Skellefteå game: Herberts Vasiljevs (captain, Krefeld Pinguine): "In the second period, the Swedish team got better. We made a few mistakes and it cost us the game. We need more structure in our game. We can't let the other guys to do what they want like they did." Hans Wallson (coach, Skellefteå AIK): "It was a tough game. Krefeld was better in the first period, but then we started growing. We're happy to win. We have twelve new players and it was a difficult game to win."
	22:06	SaiPa wins in Zug with a narrow 2-1 margin. Nearby Zurich is more succesful and beats Vålerenga Oslo 4:1.
