Can probably afford them to get 1 more point. We'd then need 2 tomorrow and 2 from Manchester.

It's a good point for Coventry, got 2 home games left in their last three to probably find 2 points?

I cant see us getting 4 points from Manchester, but you just never know. Win tomorrow and carry momentum into Saturday. If you somehow get 2 there then there would be a good chace we can beat them at home for 51 points. Hopefully we can get to 49 and it's enough.

That OT point for Blaze tonight is a real blow. Coventry have got to play Manchester and Guildford at home and Cardiff away, all of whom have their POQF ties set. Storm are wanting to play their QF leg first so whether they finish 4th or 5th doesn’t matter, which in turn means no need for Guildford to turn up.
We probably need to hope that Sheffield beat Fife and Cardiff beat Dundee on Wednesday, which would drag them back into it.
We have to turn up tomorrow though, we have to get behind them and push them on

I still think Glasgow and Coventry are our best hope. Those reaults mid week going our way would of course be welcome I get your point regards Coventrys opponents and it's a valid one, however they've only got a few games left now and I cant see them wanting to coast in to the play offs. It's important to go in with momentum and to get that play off intensity going. We'll just have to hope composed quality wins out over desperation.

Dundee and Fife could agree to a couple of split O/T games and then you wouldn’t be able to catch either of them. 😳

Also I'm sure both sets of fans would love to see their rivals miss out on the Play-Offs

So what do we need to happen:
Panthers take 4 points
Sheffield to win in Fife
Cardiff to beat Dundee but Cardiff have clinched 2nd
Manchester to win in Coventry which is a tough one
Guildford and Cardiff to win at home against Glasgow and Coventry on Saturday
Guildford and Cardiff to win away on Sunday
And I'm guessing either Fife or Dundee win both their games in Regulation, no splitting of points

3 points may still be enough, due to our good regulation wins total. We need 2 of the four to come up pretty much blank from here and we'd still get in.

Nah, we're done. Too many things to fall perfectly now for us to qualify. We had it within our power but dropping points to Dundee, Fife and Glasgow in recent weeks finished us off.

Other than Fife V Sheffield, I can see a lot of home wins

Could be all over tonight. Wins needed by Sheffield, Manchester & Cardiff. But especially Manchester.

And Manchester are playing their backup tonight… Admittedly I rate Oldale and he had a good run earlier this season (including a win against us) but I’d rather the leagues top netminder be playing instead.

I saw they'd signed Oldale for another two years. Decent signing for Storm, hopefully he gets development time.

This is the issue though. Nothing to play for, no need to risk Weninger getting injured, may as well give him some experience. (I assume Flodell isn't in the frame?) I agree, though, he looked very good in the game I saw.

Weninger should be top of Pacha's summer shopping list.

Weninger should be top of Pacha's summer shopping list. He's been a great goalie on a mid-table team. Hugely impressive stats. 93.01SP%, 2.50 GAA is impressive enough. Most shots faced in the league, overall (by nearly 300 shots), and third most per game, behind Owen and Lindskoug (min 10 GP) so I wouldn't say his D are overly "protecting" him.... Has saved 37 (!) goals compared to the average EIHL netminder this year. He'll be in Belfast next season.

Dundee a goal down to Cardiff.
What's the delay at the Fife/Sheffield game?
