Pity Dundee didn't get the upset. Might have given it to Sheffield in a final though? Anyway, Belfast win later and it will be Nottingham 1 Sheffield 0 on Trophy count this season.

I wonder if a team other than Nottingham, Sheffield, Belfast, Cardiff and Coventry will make it to a final soon?
Looks like Murphy is starting with Dickson back up. Is Whistle an import or is he injured?

opps the usual...nice call of 'too many men' to give Steelers the tie at 2-0. But listening on the BBC Sports coverage I had no thoughtsof Giants getting back in it.

Well that was a snoozefest. Giants were awful imo. Got in to Steelers zone took one shot (mostly off target) then Steelers were going back up the other end.
Steelers weren't much better either. I think they just cancelled each other.
Surely Devils can beat this Steelers side, I couldn't think of anything worse than a win for them tomorrow.

Belfast wouldn't have won if Adam Keefe was ref. They were terrible.

Belfast were never going to win that game. They may have had loads of shots but virtually all of them were poor shots.
Here's hoping Cardiff can beat Shuff one more time.

Yes Belfast were very poor at finishing,but credit to the Steelers,they defended well and blocked a ton of shots. Can you imagine Carter or Lawrence doing what Roy did,blocking shot after shot,Roy kept getting hurt and yet coming back for more.
Easy shut out for Mustokovs,don't think he had to actually catch a puck all game did he ?

There was some suggestion that a loss today might be the end for Walser as coach over there, interesting to see what decision they make.
Radio coverage was good, up until Sheffield's ENG, when it obviously had to go off.
Hopefully Cardiff do the business tomorrow now.

I admit that I thought that Dundee were going to get hammered, however they certainly gave it a really good go. I certainly believe that was the closest to having a new team in the Final (Instead of 1 of the usual 5)
There were comments that Belfast were an average side, I dismissed that as they always did a number on us and they were 2nd in the League. That was until today. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?. They contained Sheffield yet they seemed to follow The Panthers game plan especially that PP they had. I have no idea what their game plan was.
The fact that Perrin was one of the Referees was a joke, surely he could have done the 1st game. Seriously he can't be one of the Officials for the Final, which is being broadcast by the BBC. If their is a controversial call and the BBC pick up the fact that Perrin is associated with Sheffield, then the BBC may never touch the League again.
I don't think I'll be rushing to the Arena to make the start of the 3td/4th place game, To be honest I'd rather have the Fans Forum center ice.

The level of hockey has been terrible. Stars the pick of the teams, they just ran out of steam but played the best stuff. The play offs is absolutely stale. If you've been once or twice it's great. If you've been 5+ years it's a ground hog day event right down to the kids party dj playing the same tunes year after year. Not having the panthers there to distract made it 10x worse. Wouldn't mind steelers winning tomorrow as it will stop a Cardiff grand slam. I hope they shake the format up next season with the extra teams. If not I won't bother going as it will be on BBC again.

I enjoyed the first game,was end to end and lots of chances for both teams,Devils just had better legs and stamina going into the 3rd.
Second game was dire,so boring it was like watching Panthers from this season!
I know its said every year but the event was dire,no period entertainment,no pyro,no use of the video screen....DONE ON THE CHEAP

They may as well have just gone into the Devils dressing room and handed them out. It's getting cheaper by the year. God knows what the players think,bet they give their trophies to the first kid they bump into on the concourse,after the league make them seem worthless !

A one-off weekend generates income for the League. A playoff series does not. The League doesn't have any other major source of income so it's vital, if only to pay for the DOPS ! The only way to have a playoff series is to shorten the league, because the poorer clubs couldn't afford to pay the extra wages. But best of three SF and final would be exciting that's for sure.
