This team has been let down by the higher ups because they are one of the better teams in this league - certainly not a 4th place team and it's a shame it'll end without the league. Though when we're back at full strength, I think we'll have a big say in where the league does end up.
The only saving grace is we can concentrate on the cups and if players have little knocks, rest them.

Important win for playoff position. Given their short numbers, especially on D, a game we should be winning.
I must say being able to send the same guy out constantly on the shootout seems entirely ridiculous, but there you go.

If people want the Conference system to change, they should probably hope Braehead win the league. If Erhardt keeps providing the league champ, why would they alter it?

I understand this yet still don't want to see a back door route to a title. Knowing the organisers nothing would change and that's the idiotic point of it all. Why only change WHEN someone wins easily. They should be aware of it now and play fair with everyone. I feel for teams like Edinburgh who keep trying season upon season and have this sort of thing to contend with also.

Not me, Clan for the league, Cardiff are still top of PIM table, if we want to see a cleaner game then start deducting point for PIM sat 1 point for every 100 PIM. If the referees could get it right I'd have no problems with that. But when do you stop? 'Plus a point' for GF column reaching each 40....etc

Any win in Belfast is a good result.

Sod that! Get back to how the game was 20 years ago for me. Vastly more entertaining overall.

I agree that it would help change. But that would mean Cardiff being robbed. They have been the best team this year by some distance imo.

Cardiff have been the best team because they spent big in the summer and have continued to spend big throughout the season.. Yes I think panthers spent big (although they were still imports short) but they didn't invest when injuries occurred and that's what beat panthers not this superstar squad in Cardiff people are drooling over...
And yes I am upset and angry over it and am very jealous of their management..

The main lot of our players were resign from last year so our wage bill not changed massively from last year

Given the players who were re-signed were part of the previous season's Challenge Cup winning team, they'd have grounds for some kind of increase.

Given the players who were re-signed were part of the previous season's Challenge Cup winning team, they'd have grounds for some kind of increase. Spot on. Players that have proven themselves capable of delivering good performances and silverware in this league will generally command a higher wage than an unknown quantity (apart from real top drawer new signings - straight from NHL or upper AHL for example). It's a fair assumption that players from last season's Cardiff side (which I thought was the strongest in the league by a distance, despite how the league table finished up) would have higher demands this time around, with a few other proven signings at EIHL level (Doucet, Salters etc. ) thrown in too. As a potentially championship-winning young British netminder, Ben Bowns is probably the most pivotal player in the Elite League so he would presumably not come cheap either. Don't think anyone is saying Devils have gone out with a blank cheque book but you don't get the quality and strength of roster of this year's Cardiff team without paying good money for it.

Plus they have a REALLY good coach who bonds with the entire dressing room well.
