We are pleased to welcome @officialGSHC to Grünerhallen-Oslo where they will prepare for their @championshockey game @StorhamarHockey — GrünerHockey (@GrunerHockey) September 1, 2015
		Today's game will be the third game for Genève-Servette and the 4th and final of the group stage for Storhamar Hamar. Last saturday Storhamar Hamar won 3-0 away in Geneva, and the Swiss will for sure be looking for a revenge in tonights game. Group M is still wide open, with Storhamar Hamar in the lead with 6 pts, Sparta Prague has 4 pts in 3 games, while Genève-Servette has 2 pts in 2 games. Storhamar Hamar has the advantage as group leaders with six points, a spot in the next round is literally Storhamar's to lose. They just need a single point in Thursday's home game. Even if they don't get it, they still probably advance – the only way they could miss now would be to lose at home by three or more goals and then have Sparta beat Geneve in overtime or a shootout to force a three-way tie. Geneve needs a strong roadtrip, as they travel from Hamar to Prague for their encounter with Sparta this weekend. Christian Bull, born 1996, a defender for Storhamar Hamar will wear the CRAMO top scorer-jersey for the home side, as he is the leading pointscorer with 3 pts (0+3) in 3 games. Matthew Lombardi will continue in the CRAMO top scorer-jersey for the swiss side, with 2 pts in 2 games (1+1). We look forward to a interesting game!
		Welcome. Game starts at 19:00.
