Mmmm Panthers were only 4 points from finishing 8th ! And only Manchester conceded more goals. Shocking !!! 🙈🙄 And closer to dead last than we were top of the league! Closer to dead last than we were to 3rd!

I think there might be an upset in one these quarter finals. Cardiff and Sheffield have both decided to play their home games on the Saturday first for some reason. With our injury list I’m considering the following wildly optimistic.
Belfast v Coventry - Belfast Sheffield v Dundee - Sheffield Cardiff v Glasgow - Glasgow Nottingham v Guildford - Nottingham
Belfast v Glasgow - Belfast Nottingham v Sheffield - Sheffield
Belfast v Sheffield - Belfast

Panthers have the long bus ride down south then have the journey back late Saturday night which disrupts the routine on Sunday

I agree it’s different going up to Glasgow and Dundee, I get that you’re not travelling as much but I just think momentum is a huge part of Ice hockey. If Glasgow or Dundee can keep it close in the 1st leg, with their fans behind them in the 2nd leg, anything could happen.

I seriously wouldn’t rule Dundee out or Clan for that matter. Ours will be do they seriously want to get through with a depleted team. We’ve ran Guildford very tight in their place but with our short bench I’d be very surprised if we get through. Didn’t Guildford knock us out a cup competition a few years ago.

In fairness I think any team can beat any team on any given night, if any team don’t play to their potential they could easily be in trouble, and over one weekend certainly a few surprises could arise. With players playing for another weeks money who knows.

The Giants have almost got a bye to the final....a poor Coventry and then either a depleted Panthers,Flames,Clan or Stars. Not exactly the toughest of asks is it.

Well I've got nothing wrong yet this season & I don't intend to start now...
I'm taking Steelers to win it, they will deny Belfast the sweep.

I know that's mid 2nd Period but I'm not sure that Sheffield and Cardiff's decision to have their 1st Legs at home may come back to bite them.

Coventry show some spine and tie Belfast 2-2, Belfast should do a number on them in The 2nd Leg.
Dundee score a late winner in Sheffield and shut them up 1-0 but it can be easily overturned tomorrow.
Glasgow lead 4-2, Cardiff in big trouble.

Glasgow lead 4-2, Cardiff in big trouble. That’s about it. I’m really excited about the results from tonight but there’s 60 to go,we’re only half way there. But let’s be positive, we are at home like Dundee. Coventry with some work to do or hanging on and Glasgow have it in their hands only to throw away.

From what I hear, Dundee had them on the back foot most of the time. Both Dundee and Glasgow will be buzzing on Sunday. If Dundee score first...

All games very interestingly poised. Might be an interesting weekend, next weekend.

If you'd told me Saturday morning, that the only teams with a lead would be Stars and Clan, I'd have asked for some of what you're smoking. All 4 ties really finely poised for Sunday!
