Not sure if this will be any use to anyone who wishes to watch hossa's game. I'm currently in canada with no laptop so i won't be able to tell if it's useful or not...maybe someone can. Joj Sport has license to stream only in Slovakia. Therefore unless any YouTube channel will be available, I doubt you'll be able to watch on the official stream. |

I have tons of pics and vids. Will be able to upload only on Sunday once I get back home.
Was a tremendous experience. Never saw, never will see that many stars together.
Was a moment before the OT. Keith, Tazer and Hoss getting ready together one last time...

Can't wait to see the pics and vids! Anyone know where I can get a replay of the game? I checked YouTube and nada.

Regarding the lineup - two of the players didn't arrive. Zetterberg who shortly before the match injured his knee and Sharpie. He was already sitting in the plane ready for the trip when he got the phone call that his brother died. Very sad news. Don't have any other details, just what Marian mentioned after the game...

Finally back at home. Did not make it yesterday to upload all the pics and vids. But during the night all synced well, so here it is. The album includes also pictures from the town square where all the players were introduced, picked the team (black or white ball from the box) and threw a shirt into the crowd. Was standing there more than an hour prior to players arrival, wanted to be in front as much as possible. Was hot as hell. I’ve been planning to make a video of each player presentation but after a couple of vids my phone got overheated and dismissed any of my efforts to continue. Luckily, it allowed me to take pics at least. So there’s a pic of each player either picking a team or throwing a shirt… Plus, at the end a common picture of all players. After leaving the town square, we’ve met Hossa’s dad and two other former coaches of the Slovak National Team. I’ve taken a picture of one of them with my father. Afterwards players moved to arena. Well, arena. It’s a veeery old hockey rink in Trencin and it was apparently decided that no investments will be realized until it fully collapses. In my opinion, it will not take much long… Then, after the heat up, once again, all the players were presented. The temperature at the stadium was much better so finally phone was working as expected. Have a roughly 20 min video with all the players entering and then the initial puck throw until the first goal. Afterwards I’ve been continuing to record only goals scored. Not all of them, but majority is there. A couple of beauties were there. Here and there I’ve focused on a couple of Hawks players. After 60 mins, the score was 9:9. Big Hoss tied it roughly 2 mins before the end. There was a very nice moment prior to the OT, when Tazer, Duncs and Hoss were getting ready to start it together. Such a moment will probably will not happen again… So, once again… here it is. Enjoy. photos.app.goo.gl/WgeW8WG5AdAjRfJP9 |

Holy crap!!!!! Way to go man!! Hell of a job! I just watched every video, thank you so much for the effort you put into this. It really means a lot. I got goosebumps seeing the Hoss, Keith and Toews video. Toews still looks in great shape. I'm sure you had a blast there.

Enjoy. photos.app.goo.gl/WgeW8WG5AdAjRfJP9that is great stuff, Ja! thanks a bunch for posting all of that. hope you had as good of a time being there as I did watching it. what an event to see in person! You bet I did enjoy it. I've already attended several similar events in the past (SK hockey organized during summers training camps for its stars 20 years ago and at the end of each such camp an exhibition game was held. So I've already saw Satan, Bondra, Palffy, Visnovsky, all my heroes at that time). But seeing them after their careers along with other world stars... puff... Even Hossa could not believe it materialized the way it did. Funny thing was, that the evening before the match, they've had a dinner. And Hjarmalrsson was having a conversation with Holmstrom. So Hossa was asking them if they haven't met for a long time. Hjalmarsson said they've actually never met before even though they are from one country. Another funny story from that evening was that Lidstrom was each time teasing Holmstrom that due to Holmstrom standing constantly in front of the net, Lidstrom could have potted many more goals than he actually did during his career. And with each glass of wine the teasing was graduating  Would like to see now Gaborik's phone. I'm sure he has a lot of funny vids in it... Now I'm curious if Chara will organize something similar with his Bruins buddies. That would surely be a superb event as well. Of course Bergeron, Marchand are a lot lower in my eyes than were Toews and Keith, but would be interesting to see those players as well. And maybe to have another jersey into my collection. |

One other thing I've noticed during the game is that I've been amazed by Big Buff. Didn't see him play that much since he left the Hawks after 2010 season. But each time he had the puck, he made a very quick, fast and precise pass. Made me realize that his game reading was at a high level. Was surely a difference compared to other veterans who play hockey only casually or not at all.

Nice to hear the dagger at a hockey game again.
Tell me...are you a cameraman by trade?
I will watch again when back home on my computer. Eyes not good enough to fully appreciate your work watching it on a phone.
Wondering...it seemed to me byfuglien was in pretty decent shape and not overweight at all. Did it appear that way in person?
Good stuff, mate. Thnx a heap.

Did it appear that way in person? Good stuff, mate. Thnx a heap. Nope, I'm not a cameraman by no means. When I usually take a picture or a video, my wife always finds some imperfection, either a centering or a missing foot or something else. But OK, that's her superskill to find imperfections on her man's actions. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has a superskilled woman  About Buff... Difficult to assess as I did not see him during his pro years. Surely was not overweight. Actually the opposite, looked very fluid on the ice. I'm sure he would stand his ground if willing to return. Yesterday evening the broadcaster was showing the whole game again. Started watching but by far it did not have the mojo as live. Watched the players presentation and although it could appear quite loud, live it was 1000% better experience. At least you could grasp a feeling how's atmosphere at a hockey game over here. Major difference between the NHL and SK experience is that within the NHL or in general in NA the atmosphere is being directed by the organizer while on the other hand over here it's people who are creating it. |
