is it 101 and 202 above that? Or 102 and 202?
Is there a little excuse for a block 100 and 200 before the larger ones?
I’m not helping here am I?

Small 101 with 201 above it and larger (wider) 102 with 202 above that.
Feel better now I have that off my chest, which is a 36. Lol

The 171st time these two have played each other in the EIHL era.

Meh, tomorrow is 1,000 times more important Absolutely it is. This challenge cup format is an absolute farce, we play Sheffield again next Saturday, it gets boring very quickly playing the same team all the time. |

Yup as I said earlier,today was apparently the 171st time they’ve played each other in only 18 years and that will probably not include any extra Aladdin cup or other farce games. Completely ridiculous. 🙄 |

Five more Cup games to play (Gordon Bennet) in the Challenge matches before we should knuckle down. Playing to win for real each game thereafter. No rest for the wicked, onwards and upwards. Losing and only a point tonight is immaterial. The show starts from the quarter final knockout stage. Remind Sheffield of that whilst we polish the Elite series Trophy.  |

Meet in the play offs, and progress in the cup, as 2 top half teams are likely to, and it could easily be 10 a year. I suspect Panthers have played Fife over 100 times in those 18 years? |

Well for a start,why are they always paired in the same cup group,that’s four games that don’t have to happen ? But we know the answer to that one and the answer is sheer greed from the owners and money. Potentially they could play each other 16 times this season,how is that not mind numbingly boring and repetitive. It’s about time they gave fans something different instead of the same old dull format every year ! |

For a challenge cup group stage game it was fairly entertaining and the webcast was of decent quality even if the sheffield ice is truely horrific.
Martin Latal looks like a good signing for the Steelers, fantastic speed, it didn't seem like any of the Panthers could keep up with him when he got going.
I thought the officials made several questionable calls again last night, the penalty on Kelsall's breakaway in the third was surprising, to say at the least. It was also amusing watching a linesman drop the puck while one of the refs was still off talking to Aaron Fox by the bench.

I'd be far happier if we DID meet the same teams but over better designed tournaments. Putting the league games that are repetitive to the same end, into the play-offs. Playing only 36 for an importance to win as many as possible.
* Top four play each other twice home and away.(12 games)
5th to 8th do the same.
Top two in 5th to 8th group play bottom two of top group home and away dependant on positions (2 games).The two winners of that then play once home and away the original winners of that top group (2 games), before a semi and final, total two games.
The Challenge Cup can be per old Autumn Cup days playing two groups of five , another eight games before a semi and final.
One team might play 36 league games and 10 Challenge cup games with 18 possible PO games at most = 64 if your so successful
One team might play 56 only if not. However the bottom two in the league that might only play ten Cup games have only 46, so play a wooden spoon play off?.
Did I get that right off the top of my head?

There were some very strange calls last night, had it been a league game I think there would have been a lot more uproar about the refs. |

Playing each other 6+ times is ridiculous... But that’s the only way the economics work. You know that. If all teams played each other once at home, it wouldn’t be as repetitive but it’d be a season full of not very much. 1 game a fortnight. 9 home league games a year. Good luck with that. |

No problem with six Panther v Steelers league games,t’s the other potential TEN games that are the problem. |

The club will shoot themselves in the foot as they will even drive away the part timers who will become bored of it. |
