Fife a goal down against Belfast after 20. And Coventry losing to Manchester. Could be a good day.

Couldn't make it up, that's a good result in fairness.

So we now need to win all 5 with Cov or Clan failing to get more than 4 points. Fife 3 points combined witg Dundee less than 5 more. We should have Clan and or Cov on regulation wins should we somehow win those 5. The reality is that just isnt going to happen.

Rather sadly, the rotund female walks up to the mic and clears her throat...
She's not singing yet though.

She's not singing yet though. 6 points adrift with 10 to play for, and that assumes none of our rivals register another point. Never gonna happen. We are where we are on merit. There’s reasons, but ultimately it’s season over. I just hope we quickly decide on who the coach / GM will be quickly so we can start work on retaining/ attracting new players for next season. That’s one for another thread though!

Million to one shots come in once in a while Not that I'm confident at all that we can actually do it, and it's a hell of a long shot, but as it stands, hope springs eternal. As the great poet L. Kravitz opined, it ain't over 'til... Doesn't make me a happy clapper, but 3.4 seconds was enough time once upon a time.

Looking at run in’s it’s certainly possible that Clan and/or Blaze might struggle to get more than 2 more points,which would leave all three teams on 49 points and Panthers squeaking through on regulation wins.

I think Dundee, and like you’ve pointed out a few times, Coventry, are the ones to aim for. We have to win our remaining games though, which means pressure, especially when we’re short. The fans will be behind them all the way I’m sure

The really hot team are currently Storm, 23 out of the last 26 available points, Weninger's stats in that run are 95.07SP%, 1.79 GAA. Last 2 games are against them. Gulp.

By the last two games though Bob the Storm could have nothing left to play for other than possibly whether they are 4th or 5th. Are you putting a tenner on Wenninger being in Belfast next year or Sheffield if Greenfield didn’t come back ? Have you seen Besko’s dramatic drop off this year in Belfast,he’s miles behind Whistle,a worse Svs % than even Rok.

Same as no-one called Weninger as being the boss goalie in a league where his team were predicted by the "experts" to be basically fighting for a play off spot. It can be a very unpredictable sport.

We can look at run ins and other teams form etc all we like, but I think our main problem is an unpredictable netminder and no suitable backup alongside only having 2 (maybe even 1?) fit import defencemen. It's also no coincidence that our form dipped off since Logan Neilson got injured. Real bad mix of situations to end the toughest season imaginable.
