Surprised we are playing the Saturday not the Sunday as higher seeds.

Club are probably expecting a Scottish team , so that will make the Scots travel twice over that weekend .all about tiredness and mind games..

 

[Wannabe2]

Odds are 3 to 1 as you say that we meet a scottish team , we will finish 2nd obviously and a Scottish team will undoubtedly finish 7th, so a home game first makes sense.

Does anyone know what time the Final game is.

The Motorpoint website is unclear.

It says
EIHL Playoff Final Sunday
Motorpoint Arena, Nottingham

Sun 21 Apr 2024 1:00PM

Buy tickets for the annual showpiece weekend, which sees Saturdays' two Semi-Finals followed by a 3rd vs 4th playoff and the Playoff Final on Sunday.

Is the 3/4 place game at 1pm or the final at 1pm?
It would be nice to know as we need to book a dog sitter

 

[E.D.S.]

Semi Final is 3pm and 7pm
3rd/4th 1pm
Final is 5pm

 

[Wannabe2]

So our play off qualifications looks likely to be either Blaze, Clan, Stars, or Flyers. Anyone have any favourites.

Stars.. as they are awful at present but it's a knockout 2 legs so anything can happen as we all know with clan.

 

[ASHIPP]

Don't fancy the Flyers. They have playedwell recently especially against the top 3 league positioned teams. Again, like the Panthers, they have been a bogey team for us. Blaze have also pulled off some results against Devils. Historically play better in Playoff/ Cup battles.

Is the finals weekend on TV?

 

[Wannabe2]

Don’t think anything has been announced yet, but if not there’s surely going to be a webcast.

 

[Wannabe2]

On the grapevine it’s viaplay

 

[TL91]

If Viaplay had the challenge cup final you’d imagine they’ll do the play offs

 

[moggy#9]

Hmm, I'd cancelled my subscription, but I'll have to pay again to see the the GB games. I'm half expecting the devils to blow it at the quarter finals stage, so I'll wait to give them my money.

 

[Diafol]

Just subscribe for a month at a time, costs the same as a webcast, and you can cancel once hockey season is over.

 

[bozzer]

no longer Viaplay now Premier again(same owners as Clan)

 

[Hodor]

Looks like a team could finish this season on 50 points and still miss out on a play-off spot! Glasgow finished 8th last year with 35 points.
Credit to the teams/league for keeping it tight, interesting and honest, even with some 'dead rubber' games for some.

Absolutely, by all measures it’s been an amazingly competitive season despite Sheffield being annoyingly good. There are remarkably few dead rubbers this weekend (I think only SHE v BEL) and that’s tremendous news

 

[Earnie]

Advised today that my Viaplay account will be named Premier Sports as of April 9. !!

Get a dodgy stick. You'll save so much on subscriptions such as Viaplay, Netflix, Sky Sports etc
