Devils vs steelers - 6 Mar 20 - League

[pjj365]

I think the extra CHL spot opened up via the continental cup. A team Kazakhstan team won in 2018-19 but they couldn't take up the CHL spot so that went to second place Belfast. That in turn meant the EIHL place went to runner up Cardiff.

The further knock on effect meant Cardiff didn't take up their Continental Cup spot from the Play-offs. The next in line for Continental Cup would have been the Challenge Cup winner, but they'd already qualified for CHL. Next in line was league runner up, but they'd already qualified for CHL so it fell to league 3rd place. It was a tangled web.

Thanks for the clarification

Glad I'm not required to make sense, or plan, for this!

I liked your explanation though. In the normal course of events it's exactly as you said....

League winner to CHL
PlayOffs winner to Conti

True... just trying to work out what's at stake this weekend.

Cup win would be nice in its own right, but wouldn't necessarily be a route to anything else. A league win on Friday would be a big help for the EIHL campaign but theres still hope even if they lose. IF it was an either / or choice I'd take the cup win.

I'll bring it back on track and answer my own question.

If we could only win one, I would take the Cup on Sunday. That gives us the first definite trophy.
Losing Friday would not make it impossible to win the league as the run in will see both teams drop points. So still a possible second trophy.
Conversely losing Sunday would mean no Cup trophy and a win on Friday will still not guarantee a league trophy as the run in still problematic. So a possibility of no trophies.

Anyway, enough of this pessimism, I reckon we're going to win on Friday and Sunday. We're at home, let's make that count.

If we win both that would be a monsterous blow to the Steelers that they may not recover from.

How nice would that be - Monday morning, top of the league and a cup for Todd to polish!

With the team that plays who knows, with the team on paper we’ve got both games won.

may not be the right place to ask but, am I right in thinking we have 9 games left and we have to win 7 of them to win the league??

 

[Kevin roog]

Win our 5 at home and Glasgow away and we are champs. Sheffield couldn’t then catch us and panthers could only draw level and I think we would win on regulation wins

devils have banned steelers fans from bringing drums in on Friday .

This is frankly hilarious.

I love away drums and the atmosphere away fans bring, but if Sheffield are going to be so childish we may as well mirror that specifically for Sheffield and Sheffield alone!

Yes that’s right, however, if one of those wins are against Sheffield then we can win 1 less game to win the league as your question is barring in mind that Sheffield win all their remaining games

 

[Kevin roog]

Drums are allowed Sunday though

 

[kingmo19.1]

Do you think it’s ok to bring along a Double Bass and a Cello ???

Block 13 should 100% set up a full drumkit right next to the Steelers block, and maybe block 11 the other side could do the same thing.

It would be HILARIOUS!!!

I would hope lord would have his men fired up for both games

whats the reason behind this, other teams fans bring drums for lge games, very strange ..devils org are always telling fans to create an atmosphere then ban drums for away fans..mind boggles..
