ooops my bad...

This could either be a dead rubber game or very much a winner takes it all.

I've gone for Belfast regulation win 4-2.

Having also gone for a split weekend in the previous weekend double-header, this would hand them the title (just).

I want the Steelers to prove me wrong here of course, but I think Belfast will just pip us to the post and set themselves up for a grand-slam.

A dead rubber game it is then.

Old Championship winning Steelers teams of the past would use this game to send a message ahead of the playoffs.

Will this team do the same? I have my doubts.

Is it right this game has been dropped by Premier Sport? It is still showing on the scheduling but it’s also available as a webcast now which doesn’t happen when it’s being shown by Premier Sport.

The EIHL website no longer has the tv icon next to the fixture. So my guess would be that it’s no longer on.

Not surprised with it being a dead rubber game.

This has been removed and they’ll be showing a 1st leg playoff quarter final fixture in its place.

Tom Pering & Andrew Dalton are in charge, assisted by Vytas Lukosevicius & Ilya Kisil.

We go with 19.

Stojanovič starts, Warburton backs up.

Eberle is back in.

We are without Brust, Ellerby, Polák, Connolly, Todd & Shudra
