So what needs to happen for us to qualify, I definitely know that we have to win but not sure if winning in Overtime does it or do we need help from the Bern VS Mountfeld result |

Regulation win I would think. If we get to 11 then no two teams can pass us.
With an OT win we'd be on 10 points, but you could conceivably have Bern on 9, and Turku themselves on 7. If they then beat us in the return in regulation they may go ahead of us on results between the teams (which I think is first tie breaker).
As it stands all 4 teams can still qualify.

Because tiebreaker is head to head, the ways to qualify are: 3 points (over 2 games), other results don't matter. 2 points (over 2 games) and Bern only get 3 points against Mountfield. 1 point (over 2 games) and Bern only get 2 points against Mountfield |

Turku are on a bit of a hot streak in the Liiga at the moment, top of the table, lost only 2 since the start of their season.
Looking at their fixtures, they play mid-table KooKoo on the Thursday after playing in Nottingham and whilst KooKoo aren't doing too well, I can't help but expect TPS to stick their backup in. That being said, Setänen started all 4 of their other games in the CHL with their backup, Tirronen having only made appearances in 3 Liiga games (very good performances).
Whoever they play in nets, one player they will be without is Ilari Filppula (Valteri's brother). PPG player in the Liiga but out till November with an uperbody injury.
Naturally, expecting TPS to dominate and inflict a fair amount of pain onto our scoreboard if they want to proceed to the knockout round.

Already getting excited / nervous for this one. It would take a huge effort but if we can sneak a win surely it would be bigger than the Continental Cup win or beating Bern.
Let's get the place jumping and help the lads to battle for every puck.

There are still a lot of tickets left for the game, a near full house would really help the cause. I hope it picks up in the next few days

The problem is paying for Storm, Turku then Steelers is a lot for people to pay for, especially for a family. You also know which one the casual fan will choose ...

You also know which one the casual fan will choose ... this is why I can never understand why the club don't incorporate the challenge cup games into the season ticket but increase the price of it. It might sound daft but people are more likely to pay the higher up front cost, as opposed to the additional one off payments for the cc games whilst paying season ticket money as well. Surely the club would be better off doing it this way where they have already got people's money for the cc games? |

Problem with the CC is you don't know how many games it'd cover. You could just say the group stage, but even then we could potentially have a double up game.
I agree with the principal, I'd like to have the CC all taken care of, but I can see why it's not straightforward. I guess this is why football clubs have the automatic cup ticket buying schemes for season ticket holders.

I was thinking about this earlier and I thought why not do a "30 quid all in" for CC games. So at point of fixtures being released, if you want all the games putting on your ST, you can just go get them added. Just something else rather than this hassle of adding week after week.

I hope it picks up in the next few days Remember the game is also live on TV and let's face it, nobody thought that we would be in this position so therefore made other plans as this would have been seen as a meaningless game before The CHL started |

Nottingham is a vibrant city with a lot to offer but im sorry, i seruously dont believe that many people have somewhere more spectacular to do or somewhere to go on Tuesday At least 2 million people in the Notts, Derbs and other surrounding areas, I'm sure at least 6,000 of them could find a tenner and spend a Tuesday evening watching what could be a historic night! I know Panthers usually force tickets down our throats but for once I don't think their marketing has been up to scratch for this, word needs to be spread far and wide. |

The start time is a problem. I rarely make games scheduled at 7:30 because of work commitments, 7:00 is nigh impossible for me.

I'm wondering if CHL games are similar to Play Off Weekend games as it's the CHL that organises it and the Panthers get a cut. Granted I may be completely wrong but I'm thinking that The Panthers don't drop prices this low for Challenge Cup games and the point that this very important game hasn't been advertised aggressively as you would have thought. |

Still, whoever gets the cash.....a larger, loud crowd can only help Panthers create more history, that should be enough to get the marketing machine into overdrive!
Well, I am doing my bit and taking some customers with me... so that's 9 tickets of which 7 are true hockey fans from outside the area!

As much as I want a full house, I don't want it if it means that people will be getting out their seats to get drinks every 10 minutes. I'd rather have 4000 fans intent on watching the game instead of casuals having a night out. That kind if thing happened last season. |

I'm sure GM could ask the arena engineers to pretend the lights have broken or something and buy us all an extra 20 minutes or so. 😉 A 7pm face off is rather silly on a midweek night ! 😩 |

But we're playing with the big boys now and TV calls the shots. Dont forget that 7pm here is an 8pm start in Europe and everyone else will be happy with that |
