Well that's a nice change.
The home leg Saturday date has disappeared off the fixture list and the website is now saying the home leg will be sometime on that weekend 26th/27th March.
At last have the Panthers listened,that it's not always about the big Saturday crowd taking priority over a home second leg.
I do hope so !

If we were to finish in the order we are now, with the Gardiner bounce to 2 we'd be in the bottom half of the draw, so maybe this is Gary acknowledging that we may not get home ice advantage. Although little matters like that don't normally concern him.

The cynic in me says,it might also be Mr Black trying to give his team the best chance of getting into the CHL next year by winning the play offs !
Whatever it is it's a good move.

But continuing the argument about the arena not wanting to pay staff on bank holidays etc, would paying them to work Easter Saturday not work out cheaper than paying them to work on Easter Sunday? ES is not a bank holiday per se but I still think they'll opt for Sat 26th... NT |

NT I know plenty of places of work where Sundays always paid more than Saturdays so I wouldn't be surprised about cost being a factor, easter weekend or not. |

With teams jockeying for positions, there is a very good chance that the seedings will not be known until the final day therefore I'm seeing potential problems like:
* How much notice do teams need to give their home buildings that they want to book a day (especially NIC, Odyssey and Sheffield Arena)
* Fans need to know when to book time off for
* Tickets will need to go on sale ASAP (Surely teams will not want to wait until the last possible moment to start selling tickets)
I'm guessing 8 of the 10 teams will probably want to play on a Sunday, so things need to be worked out soon I would guess.

The PlayOff winners go into the Continental Cup. League Winners go into CHL. This season, because they gave us two spots, the league runners-up also got a CHL birth. |

Not the case now, only 1 team into CHL www.eliteleague.co.uk/cardiff-or-sheffield-will-represent-eihl-in-chl/ |
