Europe's best teams (in general, national champions) compete in round robin tables and then the advancing qualifiers go into a knock out event to decide the eventual winner.NOTTINGHAM had a 'wild card' entry (1 of 4) this season.
Europe's other competition, the Continental Cup (basically a second tier event) normally has had UK representation.Which Belfast are part of this season having declined the CHL. Panthers taking on the might of Europe in their place as (UK representatives) Challenge Cup winners from our domestic season of 2013-14.

TEAM	PLAYED	WON	LOST	GF	GA	Diff.	Points
LUKKA	6	5	1	21	7	+14	15
LULEA	6	5	1	32	6	+26	15
HAMBURGH	6	1	5	9	36	-27	3
NOTTINGHAM	6	1	5	8	21	-11	3

All games won in regulation time. Otherwise league format would have shown these.
LUKKA win through on 'best home league finish' after tying 3-3 on aggregate with Lulea.
BOTH teams qualify though as Lulea's points total, along with others down to 12pts qualified as next best FIVE teams after the 11 group winners.
Now they go into the 16 team knock out phase.

Nottingham placed fourth in the final group table.

Craig Kowalski equal top SVS (saves) after this group stage
Credit so Nottingham's home crowd coming 9th overall , if had only had our usual attendance eh?

PLAY-OFFS CHAMPIONSHIP

A competition at league completion. As a finale to the season the bottom two clubs from the league table do not qualify.

Play-off finals weekend takes place at Nottingham's National Ice Centre(after a quarter final home and away stage), usually in the first weekend of April, with the semi-finals taking place on the Saturday and the third v fourth-placed match (silly)  and Grand Final on the Sunday.

Seeding for the semi-final and final will be determined by the original quarter-final ranking, (the top eight from the league taking the quarter final places) so the highest-placed team left in the play-off's will be ranked as the highest seed.

The highest seed will play the lowest seed in the first semi-final, with the remaining seeds playing in the second semi-final.

The two losing semi-finalists will meet in the third v fourth-placed match , while the winners will go head to head in the Elite League play-off final.

******************************

The Elite League champions will be seeded number one for the playoffs, while the second seed will be the winner of the Conference that does not produce the league winner.

The remaining six playoff spots will be taken in order from the final Elite League table.

In the event of the league title winner not winning their Conference, the order will be as follows.

The number-one seed will still be the Elite League winners with the two Conference winners taking seeds two and three (higher rank determined by their league position).

Seeds four to eight will then be determined by the Elite League table.

CONTINENTAL CUP    

Previous ROUND 1
stats.iihf.com/Hydra/515/IHM515200_76_6_0.pdf


Giants in Round 2- played in Bremerhaven , Germany

17/10/2014 Tilberg Trappers (Netherlands) 1 Belfast Giants 4 
17/10/2014 CSKA Sofia (Bulgaria) 2 - Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven 6 (Germany)

18/10/2014 Belfast Giants 6 CSKA Sofia 2
18/10/2014 Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven 4 Tilberg Trappers 0

19/10/2014 CSKA Sofia v Tilberg Trappers
19/10/2014 Belfast Giants 2 Fischtown Pinguins Bremerhaven  4

NOTE...Belfast finish 2nd in group and so the German side qualified to the semi-final round 3. However due to another team in the competition pulling out Giants ended up proceeding to the next stage also as the 'best placed' runner up from round 2.

Round 3 (Semi-Final stage)

Group D
www.iihf.com/de/competition/519/group-d/

Group E
www.iihf.com/de/competition/520/group-e/


21/11/2014
Belfast Giants 1 Neman Grodno 0
KH Sanok 0  Angers Ducs 4

22/11/2014
Neman Grodno 2 KH Sanok 0
Angers Ducs 2 Belfast Giants 1

23/11/2014
KH Sanok 3 Belfast Giants 5
Angers Ducs 3 Neman Grodno 4

Valiant effort as results went Giants way bar the eventual goal difference. Belfast bow out of the Continental Cup finishing a joint second (after all teams finished on same points total) in GD within the table yet probably placed third virtue of 'seperation of tying teams rules' going against them which I don't like......................what if?

[spik]

David Clarke
Last game was 14th December 2014 before the season lay off due to injury.
This game had him gain one assist.

This leaves him at a grand total of an ALL-TIME 599 games played, 324 Goals, 300 assists for 624 Points and 732 Pims total
before my calculation check.

Leaving him in 3rd place all-time for 'games played' for Nottingham. 14 games behind legend Chick Zamick 
4th in his Goals tally having overtaken Randal Weber this season
6th in asissts having overtaken Corey Nielson this time out
and now 65 Pims behind Barry Nieckar (who is in 4th overall).....
David remains in 5th place still in the penalty minutes category having passed Ashley Tait this term

[spik]

I'd like to think I had not drunk too much and reason why my league here is so different to the Elites or indeed the Panthers on their site....though by the points placing error re Fife on both, Panthers is just a copy of Elite material, such as the stats we see in the home programme each night .
.....oh,and what did the programme say this week per 'spokeswoman' comment. Something in the line of '....not into those shirts that get emblazoned with pumpkins for Halloween, or fireworks for Bonfire night or hearts for valentine.'....HHmmm I think we said that about 'ALWAYS producing a match night programme for all games UNLIKE other clubs' or something like that. Hence I say , do not make these statements....as time may will tell.
So reason I am not changing the league totally till we see what transpires. Less anyone can tell me what is the problem... Fife totals for one?

Update....JUST been altered so Fife have 26 points ABOVE the 25 of Hull and Edinburgh finally.

Haha was just about to say, it looks the same!

[spik]

20 games left by 7th January for Braehead to be the first winner of the British/UK League title on an uneven balance of fixtures.

Two years ago we were apparently NOT considered as Grand Slam winners because of a fascination of 'part' stats yet now we may see the reverse in an acclaim to a club being the 'best' from a whole seasons play, having not completed a fair share of that run .....so one uneven statistic gets you a title and the other set of statistics does not.

I truly hope It's Belfast or Cardiff if not us.Even Sheffield....maybe.

[spik]

STATS FROM 'BIGLAD'.....1

If the European 3 points for a win (2 in OT) 1pt for an OT loss and zip for a loss...here's the scene at approximately 28 games gone at half way through schedule.


It DID look like this

                         
Team-Played-Points                                 

Sheffield	27	40
Braehead	29	39
Cardiff	27	37
Belfast	27	35
Nottingham	26	34
Fife	28	26
Hull	26	25
Edinburgh	28	25
Coventry	29	21
Dundee	29	17

It WOULD look like this

Sheffield	27	57
Braehead	29	56
Belfast	27	51
Cardiff	27	51
Nottingham	26	46
Fife	28	36
Hull	26	35
Edinburgh	28	33
Coventry	29	29
Dundee	29	20

There are about 4 breaks/gaps (top two pulling away - us dropping from top 4 -Hull over Caps - Star's drift at bottom)

But Giants do move above Devils. 

So not much change but is it fairer to those who try for RW? Number of RW over Dundee are Cov + Edin 5, Fife + Hull 7, Nott 9, Car 11, Bel 13 and Sheff + Brae 14.

[spik]

'Stats from Biglad' 2 - update on UK to Euro points system and how it changes things in our league.
Needless to say it DOES show a change this time as they adjust with Belfast, Sheffield and Cardiff climbing the table by one place and Nottingham dropping  those 3 places on this 3 points per regulation win 'Euro style'.
+ Edinburgh drop below Coventry.

Position	Team	Games played	Points on Euro system	Points NOW in UK league	WAS	+/-
1	Braehead	34	71	49
2	Belfast	32	61	42	3	+1
3	Sheffield	31	60	42	4	+1
4	Cardiff	31	58	42	5	+1
5	Nottingham	31	58	43	2	-3
6	Fife	33	42	30
7	Hull	29	38	27
8	Coventry	32	34	25	9	+1
9	Edinburgh	33	34	26	8	-1
10	Dundee	33	24	21

[spik]

Depression set in last night after a 0 point weekend. Had to force myself, this morning,to do the league table here.

Braehead still with that gap and the chasers failing to pick up major points.

Could have been top, could have been second. But now Panthers next target is to put aside Sheffield or I think it's curtains for this season as regards the league title.

[gump]

Spik as the NHL plays divisions it is the team with the most points that finishes first not the one that played x number of games against someone. Time to get over it and move forward with this team.

Each week/set of results I make a little comment here to alert the fact that I have updated the table.
This time it was sadness that we (Panthers) had a bad weekend of results and that I had not done the table till next day.
Statement is made that  chasers to the league leaders were dropping points.That with 2 or 1 win ourselves we, otherwise, may have seen ourselves on top OR second dependant on point pick up just gone.
That our next exercise was to concentrate on Steelers this coming weekend (moving forward?) but my personal thoughts were that I think we are now a bit too far away to be able to make it overall as League winners.

My opinion is that I don't like the league system. I won't get over that.But this is not mentioned here.Not interested in NHL.

[gump]
