Long term reader, first time poster here!
Just curious what people's Thoughts are on our chances of actually making the play off final weekend. Right now it seems we can't actually grind out many results. Will we get past Belfast if we get them in the 1/4?

Welcome to the forum.
I think we'll make it this year, can't see us missing 3 (?) in a row. Not sure playing Monday/Wednesday (if that ends up being the case) is sensible though.

I admire Yotes' optimism but I reckon it's 50/50.

Will be gutted, first playoffs weekend I can make in years due to living in Brighton and it's not looking amazing! I'm sure we will pull it out the hat! Are panthers fans still in good spirits during the weekend even if we dont make it?

Depends which Panthers team turns up for the quarter final,the good one or the bad one.

I have the upmost confidence we will se the panthers at the play off finals weekend, think they get tickets in blocks that aren't sold out . . . Praying this doesn't happen again!! LETS GO PANTHERS!!

Based on the 2 previous results against Belfast, you wouldn't think so however Murphy was brilliant during the 1st period of the last game at the Arena however we did fall apart during the 2nd and 3rd periods.
I certainly believe that the 1st leg is absolutely crucial. I would believe that the away team for that game would be happy if they only lost by a goal.
The officials for the tie are crucial as well, hopefully they are consistent with the calls over both legs.

Our major hope is that Belfast choke as they are often prone to doing, that said it is often the final they choke in which does not bode well!

Welcome Reece If we get Belfast it's going to be a tough game, it always is against them but this season they seem to have our number. So could really go either way. If Pamthers don't make the finals we still turn up in large numbers and it is a great weekend. Better if your team make it of course but still fun. Enjoy your first PO finals!

I sympathise with the likes of Manchester and Dundee etc who hardly ever make the finals but as a fan of the panthers who has attended the weekend both with and without the team there, I can say I did not enjoy the weekend when the team was absent to the point I felt it was not money well spent.
Yes there is no pressure and nerves about which team wins and its more about meeting other fans and enjoying the atmosphere and beer (delete as appropriate) but for me it should be about the hockey and if my club isn't there then I am at the stage where I couldn't care less about the hockey played at the playoff finals weekend. Lets be honest without the hockey its just a boosy weekend in Nottingham and you can get one of those a lot cheaper and not watch another team who is most likely one of your rivals beat another rival team on what is home ice...
Im sure a lot of fans of teams that aren't attending can enjoy the weekend for what it should be "a celebration of the best hockey in this country", I just don't want to see that from others clubs that aren't Nottingham Panthers so i most likely will not be attending if panthers don't make it, in fact for the past 4 seasons now I have bought my ticket once I know the panthers will attend. Yes I know I will pay more for it but imho its worth waiting so I don't find myself having to cheer the likes of Coventry on to beat Sheffield in a final (now that really is the lesser of two evils)...

Panther fans are generally in good spirits, however if it is 3 years in a row of not making it, some of the disgruntled fans will probably make their feelings known

Really hope we can get through!! Otherwise it's a 296 mile round journey of disappointment ?!! At least it will be with other great panthers fans, good beers and good hockey!! Not easy being a long distance panthers fan, can't be called a glory hunter at least ?
