It's the hair care bunch coming to town.

Dead rubber or playoff jostling positioning game only for me.

Pretty sure Nottingham will be slightly light headed celebrating their 2nd trophy win of the season.

5-2 Steelers.

No doubt we'll have to sit through the Panthers fans rubbing our noses in it after their CC win and I don't blame them.

It will be the second week running our supporters will have to endure the opposition fans celebrating, whilst we have very little to get excited about ourselves.

Even if there isn't much to play for now, I hope our players put a shift in and at least offer us some entertainment.

It's looking like another season where our rivals pick up the silverware whilst we keep falling just short....very frustrating.

After last weekend no doubt there will be more shuffling of the lines. Maybe by April we'll finally get them settled!

I'd still like to see Juus/Watling/Tait given a bit more of a go. The Ritchie/Heard/Harper line also seemed to be doing quite well at one time.

What we will go with is anybodies guess, but I hope the lines are settled going into the playoff qualifiers.

With the league pretty much over since our Scottish and Belfast disaster weekend in January, my expectations are we should be in the Playoff Final as a minimum.

Fox has no excuses and PLENTY of time to prepare the team, rest the odd player with any knocks and rotate both goalies.

Games like these are opportunities to send a message that we’re ready, with a statement win against one of the bigger teams and rivals, not getting excited beating lower placed teams.

If we lose this I'm leaving by a different exit.
I'm not listening to Panthers fans celebrating in the car park like they've just won the Stanley Cup.

Think there will be lots of ‘show us your trophies’ chats. Unfortunately we have no come back other than the best 50/50 in the league.

And chuck a puck !

I've just told my Dad Nottingham won the Challenge Cup and he seemed rather pleased.

He was stationed down in Nottingham at the end of the war and was friends with the first ever Nottingham netminder (Dick Halverson).

At least one member of our family is happy with their success.....I've told him he's not supposed to be happy.
