So with the above our remaining fixtures what points total do folk think we will get from these games.
We are going to be short on numbers for the first 5 with Fox's ban. So we will no doubt play Issacs up front leaving us with 5 regular defencemen. I would say at least 5 points to make our playoff spot safe and I don't really see us getting much more than 7/8 points.
With this team we could easily only get 2 or 3 points or go on a mad run and get 14 points(although I really don't see us doing that).

I think realistically 6 points is all we will see from this, maybe a few more with ot and shoot outs. But no reason why it should not be more like 12 by winning our home games and taking points in Dundee and Edinburgh.
But what is the best position for flyers to finish in as Braehead look to have the conference sewn up so will get a good seeding in the playoffs? We don't want to be left playing Belfast or Sheffield???

currently devils would play blaze, if clan win our conf do they not get 2nd seed if so they would play storm which would mean at the moment we get steelers, and giants would play panthers, but storm only 5 points behind us with a game in hand so they still have a chance to leap frog us. the play of places and who plays who will be down points earned from now till the end of the season

It looks very likely that it will be either Belfast or Sheffield as we look to be firmly in 6th. Braehead will get second seed as Cardiff look certain for the league and Conference titles. Even if we do slip back to 7th it would mean Braehead.
If I had the choice I would prefer Belfast, Our record against the other 2 is 0 wins 10 losses with a game against each still to come.

As far as I see it there are four games where we are likely to get zip and five games that we could get points from, so 10 points as a max but more likely less than that say 6 points.
