Who would you pick then in the CC quarter final ? I reckon it will end up being....
Belfast v Dundee Cardiff v Glasgow Panthers v Manchester Guildford v Sheffield

Why would Cardiff want to travel all the way to Glasgow? I think its much more likely they will pick Manchester, a team with poor away form and easy to draw into penalties. Or possibly even Guildford, though less likely as they have the "dark horse" underdog factor.
Panthers will then have a choice, play against an ever improving Sheffield for the guaranteed payday and risk it. Or play it safe(r) against Glasgow.
My moneys on:
Belfast vs Dundee Cardiff vs Manchester Nottingham vs Sheffield Guildford vs Glasgow

Guildford can't be picked as an opponent, as they came in at 4th... only the teams seeded 5th to 8th can be picked:- CC seedings

Cardiff won’t worry about going to Glasgow,they’d probably fly it.

My moneys on: Belfast vs Dundee Cardiff vs Manchester Nottingham vs Sheffield Guildford vs Glasgow We won't pick Sheffield. Too obvious, even for Gary. I expect Manchester or Glasgow.

Why would you want to turn down an opportunity to see the biggest rivals in Europe go head to head here at the Nottingham Motorpoint Arena, brought to you by the Nottingham Building Society!

If Panthers do pick Sheffield then i really hope there’s a no show from the fans. 🙄 #donetodeath

I can't see why you can't pick anyone you'd like. If you gained a top seed place and take it in turn you should be able to kick ass and knock who you like out.- or lose obviously.Rather than 'have' to pit against a bottom four. Imagine if you 'have' a top teams number (though it's early doors in a season)every time and fancy that bet.Why not?

Probably because they want to try and make sure a couple of the big boys get to the final. Wouldn’t want a couple of the big boys knocking each other out early ya know Spik,that wouldn’t be on at all. Got to think of that big crowd in Cardiff mate ! 😂

Wouldn't be much advantage to winning 2 of the 3 groups, if only whoever was ranked #1 was absolutely guaranteed to get to pick.
That would lessen the crucial vitality of a Friday night at the NIC.

Not sour, it would always come down to whether Cardiff pick Glasgow or Manchester. Basically a fifty-fifty. Since it clearly means a lot to you though, fill your boots

That was funny to watch. Moran clearly didn't want to play Manchester, he wanted Sheffield. I'm paraphrasing here but it was a long the lines of....
Our coach Rich Chernomaz has asked me to pick Manchester, so we'll have them, and play them 3 times in about 8 days.
🤣🤣🤣🤣

They deleted it as it was, quite frankly, very very amateurish.
Just a smidge better than the balls and pucks in a carrier bag.
