That was a game Flyers dominated from the first whistle.
For a team as bad as Clan were tonight to win the conference is how bad the teams in our conference have been.
They put us under no pressure at all and they are so lucky Edinburgh did them a favour. Hopefully Dundee will do us a favour tomorrow so that we can get Clan in the play offs because they will hold no fears for us at all.
Clans true colours came out after they got nothing from their very long PP opportunities and the amount of nastiness that Cowan let them get away with was shocking. Cowan certainly gave Clan every opportunity to win that tonight and they were so bad that they couldn't take it and had to rely on others to give them the embarrassment of winning the conference in the way they did

Well done Flyers great game last night.
Have to say for any team to win the conference but have less points in the league then potentially 2 other teams does make it a farce. That should be changed for next season, keep the conference set up but all points/games count to the final position in league and conference. Clan celebrating while we are above them in the league and beating them soundly just didn't seem or feel right. Well done to the Clan though!

When do we play the playoff games, hopefully next Sat and Sun? I was told by Ronnie last night that if we get Dundee/Edin, we are home sat, away Sun. Clan, away Sat home Sun. Erhardt team, still for negotiation I think.

Erhardt team, still for negotiation I think. Dundee are already out and we can't be matched with Caps. Nottingham or Belfast would get to choose if they wanted to play at home first or second as they have the higher seeding. As you say, Braehead have the arena booked for Saturday so it would be an away/home tie if we get them.

Flyers chose their own fate and earned their place in the playoffs. So proud of each and every player this season. Also clan fans showing their class but grabbing a 7 year old hand during the period to check how many fingers her had? And then called him a freak cause he only had 5

And then called him a freak cause he only had 5 Was told about that last night by his mum on twitter, was also told by one of the guys who played after the flyers game last night that the clan players thought it would be funny to take a dump on the floor of the showers and leave it as a gift. I found it strange as some of their fans were complaining about how classless we were as fans and as a club.

Cannot agree with the above. Bottom line is Braehead had the points they needed in the bag and Dundee didn't. You could easily go back and say if team A hadn't lost to team B then so and so would've happened. Braehead won the conference because they got more points from games against their fellow conference teams - end of!

They won it fair and square by getting the most points over the season in conference games, simple as They won it fair and square, but on their budget I'd say it was extremely embarrassing having to rely on another result for them to win the Conference by a solitary point. Obviously their fans didn't mind but that lot are happy as long as they get an excuse to sing and dance around for a few minutes. If they seriously think THAT was an achievement it shows how little they know. Don't forget they came 8th in the league, the true test of your ability and were the 3rd ranked Scottish team despite being the only full time pro team.
