Going by memory , giants will only have 4 games after today though so if devils win giants wouldn’t be able to surpass the deficit Indeed that’s right. Hardly nail biting crunch time though. Lol You'd never make it in the marketing world Iggy... clickbait is everything in media nowadays.

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. Maybe. Of course I have. No-one called Besko's drop off, though, did they? 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. I wonder why Whistle doesn't play more?

I wonder why Whistle doesn't play more? I’ve been wondering exactly the same thing. Whistle is miles ahead of Besko on Svs % and a full goal per game better on GA this year. Rather baffling !

Stars 3-1 up in Glasgow, into the third. The thing is now that if we make it in to the play offs we could finish as high as 6th. It's certainly feesable to make the play offs and avoid Steelers in the QFs.

Is that us pretty much stuffed or is there still an outside chance?

I'm not 100% sure it was a better result for us, but i've talked myself into it today. If Glasgow would have won they'd have been all but clear of us, but making Dundee easier to catch. With that though we'd still be looking to catch at least 1 team on 47 points as it stands. The thing about keeping Clan in the mix is regulation wins. They only have 10 with Coventry having 9. We now have 13. Those 2 teams are likely easier to catch. Especially as they are our next 2 opponents. Coventry are currently tanking and Glasgow arn't much better. Glasgow are in Belfast tomorrow, Us Monday, In Guildford then Cardiff last off. A tough run in with a real chance of 0 points. Coventry have us, Flames x2, Manchester and Cardiff. Dundee & Fife(14&12 regulation wins respectively) play each other back to back to end it so they could easily contrive 3 points each from that. Chasing Cov & Glasgow feels a better place to be in. Our biggest problem in ending home & home against the leagues form team in Manchester.

It won’t make much difference either way really though cos all it will do if they do make it is give NB another pay day to trouser.

As I started by saying earlier, getting in doesn't mean 8th either. Could be 6th or 7th.

They aren’t beating Sheffield, Belfast and Cardiff on the bounce whichever order they played them in. I still think 49 points will be enough to scrape through though.

Hopefully tonight's results may give us a better indication of how things may fall.
Appears that any team could play a blinder or be very flat on a game by game basis

Cardiff maybe Of the three teams Devils would probably be the ones Panthers would choose to play in the QF and if I was Cardiff I’d try and avoid Panthers too. Their last three games are against Stars,Blaze,Clan so they could try swing it. But what I meant was beating all three of likely Devils, Giants and Steelers on the spin to win it isn't happening.

Last night against Clan the Stars Brendan Harms got 5+game for spearing. I thought it was pretty much a guaranteed Dops ban for spearing but he’s playing tonight. Guess the refs got it wrong ?
