Now that we are officially 4th, we probably won't know who are our Quarter-Final opponents are until Sunday (I'm guessing most fans in the building Sunday night will be checking their phones constantly) as a lot of teams are jockeying for position.
Its interesting that they haven't officially announced the date for our leg.
I can see the reasons why you'd play it on the Saturday (Financially) also IDs a Scottish team or Guildford as you'd make them travel here then back whereas we would just have to travel there (For the 2nd Leg) but we'd have to travel there on the day.
Also it could be an advantage to try and take a lead over there and defend it instead of chasing a 2 or more Goal deficit but on the other hand their fans could get on the Officials backs and get some calls. I just don't know.
Considering our injury situations, can we pull rank and get Hopkins in our line-up?

Coventry would be my pick. I think it'll be Dundee or Guildford though.

Coventry play Dundee on the last day, so it could come down to that one, I believe Guildford play Manchester, home and away whereas Fife play Dundee and Glasgow.
It really depends how much stock you put into the results where Carr has been injured. The 10-4 defeat and 9-1 win against Coventry can be classed as freak results and probably not happen again however that 6-4 away win against them, you can argue is more realistic.
We seemed to do well against Guildford before the Carr injury and that recent defeat was a winnable game if they had turned it on earlier.
Dundee have been difficult to beat at home and we can't seem to do anything away, so would like to avoid them if possible.
Glasgow, I think we can blitz at home after a 1st Leg defeat, I think

Would actually be nice to see Dundee at the weekend, Pacha has done a good job there and deserves it.

I'm not so sure, Manchester more likely to run them close than Fife are with Glasgow.
Winner of Coventry/Dundee could still leapfrog them too I think (Guildford poorest on the regulation wins).

Guildford win in regulation, it's them.
Not sure what the other permutations are.
Except the loser of Coventry VS Dundee get Belfast.
Quite the motivator

There is a way they all end up on 52 points. If that happens I think Guilford drop to 8th. With Clan in 5th spot, Coventry 6th and Dundee 7th.
Flames are well behind on regulation wins with 12 so they could really doing with picking up at least a point tomorrow.
Glasgow have 18 regulation wins(20 overall)
Coventry 15(19)
Dundee 14(19)
Guilford also drop to 8th should they lose with Clan getting any win and Coventry beating Dundee in OT.
I think. 😁

I think. 😁 I think you've misread the league table. The W column on the EIHL page's table is for regulation wins, not total wins. Hence the numbers you've put in brackets is actually the regulation wins. Only thing that changes in your scenario is that the Blaze and Stars will be equal in points, Regulation wins and total wins, so will be separated by head-to-head record which Dundee will win 7 points to 6 in your hypothetical. |

Thanks. That makes a lot more sense. I didnt spend time doing the detail. I just saw wins. Didnt bother looking at how that meant points added up👍🏻 |

Such a shame to see Coventry blow it with 33 seconds left and now having to face the Giants. Dundee tied it up at 59.27 and took it in OT.
Guilford it is for Panthers. Not that it really matters now with the injury list. I think we'd have had a fair chance against any of the teams below us if it wasn't for the injuries, just cant see it the way things are.

But for that extra point that Dundee wanted from regulation and we'd have been playing them instead. Everything tight after the main three at the top. |

Mmmm Panthers were only 4 points from finishing 8th ! And only Manchester conceded more goals. Shocking !!! 🙈🙄 |
