Belfast Dundee utter keech. Waste of time. The final was superb. 95 minutes on the clock when Sheffield scored. Cardiff run out of steam. Two really good teams and excellent entertaining hockey for most of the game. Made up for the farce that is the third and fourth place game.

Have like an all-star game with the players not involved in the final?
The 3rd/4th game is now farcical.

Doubt that would be any better it would just be another meaningless game played at half pace by players who don't wanna get injured. Something needs to be done about the 3rd/4th place game which is just pantomine hockey, I would just scrap it, who cares who was 3rd anyway. Either get a junior final of some sort in its place or bring the final forward by a couple of hours.

Hell of a final well done to the steelers. How fit did they look! Never stopped all game long. 4 line hockey and strength and conditioning paid off massively.

Our team would have been dead on their feet before the end of the second period never mind second OT period.
Have to say I was really impressed by the pace Sheffield played at, only wish we could have a team that were coached to that level.

Look at Panthers and clan their podcasts and fans are disappointed with their teams seasons despite both winning silverware. Their teams are making changes as they look forward to the new season and are looking for and expecting improvements. We have had the usual great wall off silence despite our season being poor and missing every target we set out to achieve.

every target every season for the last 6 years and I include season 1, as we have chances to go and look at these teams prior to us joining to see what they would be like at full strength and not the diddy thing they did playing against 4 of there imports that was there weakest imports to make sure we went in the league

I can't agree with Andi, I thought the 2 Semi's were good and felt Dundee pushed Cardiff for most of their game until they run out of gas, thought Scarcella looked really good and did well to come back from the thunderous check on the boards he got. The Final was awesome, the best game of hockey I have ever seen and as stated elsewhere the fitness Sheffield showed was unbelievable, some of the hits from Bordeleau were huge when he got his limited shifts, I'm sure some of the Steelers D had sore skeletons on the Monday. The 3/4 game is total nonsense and put the only tick in the negative column for me over the week-end (again), my tuppence worth would be to have the teams that don't make the final quartet down and have a skills competition that way it would involve all the supporters which is something they try to do anyway with all the team name checks done over the 2 days, perhaps even a few signing sessions arranged to have more interaction with the people who make the whole week-end happen .............the fans, I think the NHL could learn our mob a thing or twelve how to treat the paying public.

The final was incredible, the difference is levels from what we've seen this year was great, in a way that's what make the final 4 weekend special but in the same boat that's why we want to see more play off hockey like longer series'. Sheffield looked like they could go all night despite like what ronniemac has just stated about Bordeleau, some of his hits were as good and hard as you'll see in any league, I'd love to see a guy like that in the barn.

Not forgetting as we have all already said a thousand times the extra bums on seats a guy like that brings.
