Panthers beaten by Manchester Storm
Giants beaten by Glasgow Clan

Panthers loss isn’t a surprise for me, but Belfast is.

I think that means we play Manchester in the first semi-final.

Completely a winnable game that.

Brings a whole different feel about next weekend now

I think its actually the evening game

We do. My mistake.

A potential re-match v Cardiff in the final .

The greatest playoff final I’ve ever seen. In fact, I’m not sure it will ever be beaten.

Oh yes indeed! Remind me how many extra periods of overtime there were. It seemed to go on for ever.

I'd actually prefer a Clan V Storm Final myself.

Keep writing us off at your peril!

Looking at the history of the EIHL, I believe this will be the first time since the 2014/15 season that all three trophies have gone to different teams.

No doubt the bookies will be expecting a Cardiff v Sheffield final.

Cardiff certainly go into the weekend as favourites, but no doubt Glasgow will be believing that if they can beat Giants over two legs they can beat Cardiff in a one off game.

If we can play with the same intensity as we have against Guildford, I wouldn't count us out, especially now there's no Belfast.

Roll on next weekend.

I imagine quite a few giants and panthers fans will have tickets for the playoffs and now not be bothered. Do they have the option to put them up for resale anywhere? Like Ticketmaster do etc.
