As Armstrong picked up a match penalty is he automatically banned for the Semi?

I could cope with £10 per game this weekend - it is the Playoffs after all - but I know from experience that there will be at least 2 times per game where the streams will freeze so I'll either have to refresh thus missing 5-10 mins of play or having to wait 20 mins for them to fix it. Sod that.

Why would I pay £10 per game to watch steelers/Giants/Devils win the playoffs?... that's the definition of madness to me..

It's probably not mandatory.

Who actually is in charge of POFW anyway. Panthers always say it's nothing to do with them it's an EIHL event.
So who runs it....Kelman ?

They've just announced that the final will be broadcast live on the BBC:
"The Elite League are delighted to confirm that the 2017 Playoff Grand Final will be shown live by the BBC.
The showpiece event of the British ice hockey season, the Playoff Final will be available worldwide on connected (or smart) TV, the BBC Sport app, and on the BBC Sport website.
Commentary will be provided by BBC Sport presenter Seth Bennett and Coventry Blaze and Team GB forward Ashley Tait, with Owen Bradley rink side throughout the final."
It's a shame it's not being broadcast on TV but this is far better than one of their own web streams.

Either way, £20 to watch the 3 important games from the big weekend of the league is a fair price when you consider that webcast for normal games are £8-10.

Officials not yet been named, if Pering is refereeing Steelers game,impartiality looks suspect.

Has anyone seen the picture of our arena with seats in the area where the stage normally goes (I saw it on Belfast's Facebook page)? I've not been to the playoffs for a few years, does this normally happen? If so why don't they start using them in games when it sells out i. e. Steelers games?

There hasn't been seating at the stage end as far as I can ever remember. But they are charging silly money to sit there this year. I would guess Panthers would have to pay extra arena costs to install that seating for a league game,which at say £15 a ticket may not make financial sense to them.

They have used the extra seating twice before at EIHL playoff finals.it must be 10 years since theyve done it though. One year it was about a third full. The following year there was no one sitting there at all weekend and has not been used again..... till now. Noticed cardiff Devils players training outside the arena early evening.... Doing the right thing and have come down early to get the best possible preparation for the finals... thats how a proper non penny pinching club is run.....

wasn't expecting this. Good start from the Stars. Scarsella is a great player wouldn't mind him at Panthers. Only 27 and over a point a game in his two seasons in EIHL.
On the bad side, looks like Perring is reffing the Steelers game ....

Cardiff just scored. 2-1 to Dundee middle of 2nd. Good game so far.

End of 2nd 2-1 to Cardiff. Officiating has been poor this period. Cardiff getting away with dodgy play. Crap call at the end on a Dundee player. Too much inconsistency in a big game.
