Färjestad Karlstad

Saturday 23.08.2014, 19:45 • Hallenstadion Zürich • Champions League

Nice feeling to see a winning goal. SHL (Swedish league) or CHL, it doesn't matter. Missed that feeling after some month – tweets a fan from Färjestad. Skön känsla de där att se ett avgörande mål, SHL eller CHL spelar ingen roll :-) Saknade den känslan efter nån månad. #fbkse — Daniel Holmqvist (@Da__honk) August 23, 2014

A full day on the couch with sports on TV crowned tonight with Färjestad in the CHL... It is worth it, says a Swedish fan. En heldag i soffan med sport på TV som kröns ikväll med Färjestad i CHL...jag är värd det. #Lördagsmys #fbkse #Arsenal — Uffe Classon (@UlfClasson) August 23, 2014
		Source of this online coverage: www.championshockeyleague.net.
		Tomorrow's game between these two teams is important, especially for Färjestad who surprisingly lost their away game against the Vienna Capitals and now seek their first win. For the Lions it'll be a good chance to increase the gap to the Swedish favourite in Group B. Färjestads Niklas Arell will miss the game after being assessed with a one-game suspension for a check to the head and neck area. The ZSC Lions have replaced substitute goalie Luca Boltshauser due to injury. Urban Leimbacher will replace him for the next 2 months.
		Welcome. Game starts at 19:45.
