We might win it on Wednesday, we might not, we need to keep the standards up as Cardiff are not going to lay down and accept us winning in their barn, neither should they. Get it done, then send Greenfield on a week long vacation in Spain, give anyone else who needs it time to heal a few injuries and go again for the playoffs. Championships are earned by talent, skill, discipline and most importantly by working harder and better than your opponents. This isn't over yet.

Game On

The resting goalie debate is an interesting one, can see both sides of it,,,,, but sometimes having a break can disrupt the rhythm that the team has got into.. Seen similiar before when a team has played short handed for awhile and done well and then when players have returned they have not done as well.. But that is where the coach earns his keep and hopefully makes the correct calls

I suspect the trophy will be in Cardiff on Wednesday - it's possible to do it so would expect it, as it will be on any night we can win it.

That said I suspect it won't be in Nottingham (or at least I hope not)

I think the only scenario where we can actually win the title in Nottingham is if we win in overtime in Cardiff, so quite unlikely really.

I'm torn between sticking it to Cardiff in their barn and winning it at home on Sunday, especially with it being Guildford again.

I would take a loss to Cardiff on Wednesday if it gives us the chance to win it at home on Sunday, or even the Cardiff game at the arena.

Its just more special to win a title at home.

I will be following on Twitter, we have never won a game in Cardiff when I have watched the stream.

I had to connect my laptop to my TV for the last Cardiff stream as it wouldn't play directly. Don't have any issues with any other stream, they just play directly on the TV. Hope I don't have the same 'faf' this time.

The more I think about the game, the more I'd like to see us win the League in front of our own fans, which means a loss. So I'd get the stream Shaun :lol:

Put Morrone in net as well @Jayboy :D

Understandable.

My view and as it says at the top of this forum, we have a 'TWELVE' point lead and only require 2 x regulation wins.

This group of players have shown absolutely no signs of imploding, especially when the pressure is on. Whilst I don't think we are playing at our very best at the moment, we have more than enough to beat most teams. I've got my 2nd slice of humble pie warming nicely in the oven.

It won't be the end of the world even if we lose this in regulation. If we were offered a 10 point lead at the start of the season with only 7 or how ever many games left, I reckon every single fan would have taken that position.

Lets win it in front of our own fans instead* :Smiled:

*But will take a win in Cardiff as well lads :D
