Dull game, haven't got tickets for Wednesday but I just know that they will put in a performance because it's the cup.
Was very impressed with Owen, great netminder. Brooks speed in the game and his goal was very well taken. I don't think we played particularly bad if I am completely honest, we just didn't have that next step that we needed to finish the game off. The league was already gone but would have been nice to try get as close to the top as possible. Top 4 finish is looking a struggle atm.

I'd go for the 2x6 Simply think it gives real validity to the comference system with deserved seeds. Belfast Cardiff Braehead Fife Edinburgh Dundee Nottingham Sheffield Coventry Manchester Guilford MK The only way a straight 12 works is with an extended playoffs. 44 is to little without the extended play offs. The alternative is 66. Obviously too many. I actually like the look of that split, don't think Cardiff will like less time with Steelers and Panthers though. Think this is the most equal split too.

I would be disappointed to have Waugh, Schultz and Dimmen. Whilst I think all of them do a good job when playing they are all injury prone and the amount of games they keep missing is getting ridiculous.

In the interview with Kelman on EL site he said:
“I prefer twelve teams teams rather than eleven; and we have a decision to make on whether we keep the Conference system and make it ‘six and six’. It could make the schedule a little more even than we have now.”
“The Conference system has worked. The Scottish teams don’t want to change the system, they’re happy with it…Milton Keynes are in no matter what so it’s going to be eleven or twelve teams next year; I hope it’s twelve”
So looks as if the conference system will stay in place (I'm happy with this) with them split 6 & 6. Obviously this isn't set in stone but I can see it being kept this way.

No thanks, looks like I won't be going. If my team isn't there who's to say I want to watch other teams on a webcast :/

Very happy with the this news. The more teams in the league the better I say.
As for playoffs I would hate them to take away the weekend. It's one of my favourite parts of ice hockey in the UK. Yes it might not be the Ice Hockey way of doing playoffs but you can't argue it's a great event for fans from all teams to enjoy. Would like a neautral venue and think it could happen. what about Birmingham, Manchester or London?

Great news and thoroughly deserved. Shame we never got to see him wear that Panthers shirt.

Yes some fans have emailed the arena and we have been given the all clear to bring in those trays. Think they are like 3 for £1 at wilko or maybe even pound shop. Would be great if we could get as many people as possible bring them in.

What seats did you get FS and for how many people? We rang up for block 15 about 1 hour ago and lowest they could offer for two was Row R.

Honestly Pidge I dont think you need to keep replying to comments like this, EMB we won the cup for god sake quit nitpicking. Lol take a chill pill Pidge can take it . He just never gives us a hope and its bit him back. I see you didn't berate the previous poster who called him out tho' Trust me I'm chilled just annoying seeing the same thing and I only quoted yours because you originally quoted him on Friday regarding him not believing, I honestly couldn't care just find it odd it's being brought up when we have made history let's enjoy it not pick on how didn't believe we could do it.

You didn't think it was possible tho' did you. Not a chance of winning even 1 game. You should take some credit tho' because they used your post as a pre match team talk... just to prove you wrong. .lol Doubt it but ....but they needed motivation of the highest order to win it. The kazaks were disappointing. The Danes and Italians just didn't have a answer Honestly Pidge I dont think you need to keep replying to comments like this, EMB we won the cup for god sake quit nitpicking.

Stuck at work...,what was the score? Won on penalties 3-2, reffing was abysmal.

I thought the same EMB, was saying to my partner it was fitting that Farmer scored the GWG. After two blatant penalties not being awarded and nearly injuring him both times to then go and score was great for him.

According to this post from 2014 the import limit rise will stop at this year (or just no mention of next year yet) forums.internationalhockey.net/showthread.php?13017-EIHL-To-Increase-Import-LimitsAs for our Brits I'm not entirely sure what will happen. Farmer has to be kept at all cost by far our best Brit. Whilst I'm not the biggest fan of Lee he is one of the bets Brit D men in the league so keep him too. Betteridge is Improving so would be happy to keep him. Then you have Clarke and Lacho, keep Clarke but how long is he gonna carry on after his recent injuries. Lacho can go for me, he stays year after year and doesn't improve imo. Problem is then where are the replacements? I'll be honest I don't keep up with the Lions but I have grown tired of Panthers at times so that may be why. Are there any players that show they could make it, I'm sure there are more people IDK than me. So do we poach players from other teams, look to the EPL maybe? Who knows but I think it will be tough.

Not having seen Williams, do you think he could lead you to big things? Steeler's fans seem to think he's pretty good. Watching himovies in both games you see immediately it was what we are missing. Great passer, great shot but most of all so calm on the puck. Might be jumping the gun a little but he could do a Ling. If he can get Schultz scoring we will have a seriously good line.

As has become a tradition I go up to Shuff on my birthday (today) but I was not looking forward to the result. So glad we came out with the win and happy Williams put that one on one away.
think the team played well especially whilst defending. The whole team defended as a team. One player even saving the puck of the line with his body, think it was MacMillan.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

second game of a pivotal weekend for us, 4 points and I think we're back in the race for the title did you pull that joke out of a Christmas cracker? I just hope it's an entertaining game.

Surely there is somebody out there that can do a job and is able to be here immediately, I'll be happy if it was someone who has been released recently. Two thoughts on that one... 1) Is it really that easy? How many players are actually out there ready right now? And that don't need to go through the time-wasting rigmarole of visas and whatever? 2) If a player has been "released recently"... there would obviously be a reason for that, and it may well not be a reason that we'd like. Such as - the player wasn't good enough for that team. If so... would he really be what we want? After all... if he is good enough for us, why would the previous team release him? I really get the feeling that some people think that adding players to a roster is as simple as picking pre-packaged food off the shelves in a supermarket. What we have to remember is that players are actually people, not interchangeable products. I would honestly say it is that easy. there will be a lot of players ready to join a team right now. Whether they are a good fit for this team, well that's a totally different scenario.

2 of us not going tonight.
Hope we can win of course but not worth £40 to go watch if I am honest.

you can't blame the club for this dill.
sad to see him go, big, tough and great shot. Don't think he was the greatest defensively due to his speed, but still one of our best D this season.
all the best to him in the future and hope his family well.
now for a replacement....

What on earth is going on?? Are the Devils playing without a netminder? Yes, Lacho and MacMillan Still can't score.
