Play-off qualifier match. Home game.

Are the Devils going to qualify? Scottish teams now closing in on points. Few more wins for them and they will overtake Devils. Remember winner of other conference gets seeded 2nd for playoffs. It could be that if that is one of the bottom teams in the league I think I read that team positioned 8th is one that misses out for qualification. Devils might still need points to be safe. Crazy crazy situation.
I've been trying to work it all out. We definitely haven't secured a quarter final play off place yet, but basically we'd have to lose all 4 of our games which is likely given injuries and the fact we have 3 away games and 1 home against the leaders. However, 10 other games involving the teams below us would have to go against us which is more unlikely. A big factor could be the amount of games between the teams below us that go to overtime as obviously that means both teams gaining points on us. I think if we can get just one point out of our 4 games that would be enough not to have to rely on other results.
Sorry for double post. I think it's pretty much impossible for a team to win the 'North' conference but finish 9th / 10th from what I've worked out. Pretty much every other game this weekend is important to us. Could do with Nottingham wrapping up the league title so they might rest a play or two against us next weekend. If Belfast do the double over them this weekend though, they are going to be all guns blazing against us on the final weekend.
As for the date if we did make it. Saturday 30th would be good. There's the double header with the Welsh regions in the Millennium earlier in the day so could get a few people coming down after that - maybe hand out flyers outside the stadium to get a capacity crowd.

Hull only have one conference game left though whereas Braehead are only 2 points behind but have 3 games left, and Dundee are also only 2 points behind with 5 games left. Therefore it's much more likely to be one of these teams, but I agree there's a very good chance we'll end up as the "seventh seed" and therefore play the winners of their conference which arguably would be better than playing any of our conference.
