Interesting that Coventry are playing their Leg on The Friday.
Only possible upset is Fife.

Fife will depend on the netminder I think, will their import be back for it? If not I think Manchester will deal with them over 2 games.
Could see Guildford knocking off the Yorks, if they get a good effort from Stewart, but will probably be Sheffield qualifying.
Cardiff will win.

If I was Ryan Finnerty, I'll be trying to get neutral Officials for this tie.

Interestingly, Sheffield have given up second leg at home advantage and taken the Saturday. Let's hope that backfires.

According to some it's to save the double trip. Only one 4hr trip down on Sunday, rather than 8hrs on the Saturday. But, personally think it's money related and a massive gamble.

I can’t fathom why they’d opt for losing the home advantage. Would they have done the same had they drawn us? Probably not. Which makes me wonder if it’s all about the money? We can only speculate but look at what happened to us last year. The second leg at home is massive IMO

It won’t be Stewart, I think it is almost certain to be Carrozzi who starts in the playoffs. I wonder whether Sheffield are mindful of what happened the last time they played a rink team in the QF, when they got caught so cold away from home that they couldn’t recover.

The second leg at home is massive IMO I think that the plan is to take a lead to Guildford, then defend and catch them on the counter away. Also is it more expensive to rent their Arena on Easter Sunday?

Also is it more expensive to rent their Arena on Easter Sunday? Seemingly the club have said the decision is down to no public transport after 4pm on Easter Sunday. Didn't take long for that to be called out as a lie on Twitter. Oh dear. If they'd said it's for the easier travel schedule, then whilst I still think that is a rubbish excuse, it's a feasible one. Not an easy tie and we may have just screwed ourselves over.

4-2 Cardiff, would think Blaze need to win this one to have a hope.

Fife can win and I'll give you the reason why, Finnerty.
He was never really that good in the playoffs, alright he did get to the finals weekend once but missed out in others. I'll never forget that night we lost to Hull.

John Armstrong: 'Back to 100% after hand injury as Steelers prepare for Playoffs vs Guildford' hope Flames have a good backup keeper Surprisingly the Steelers have dropped Wallace and Marquardt for tonight’s first leg. I would have thought Fitzgerald and probably Westerling would have been the prime candidates for the chop.
