Why the hell they decided to hold over Easter I really don't know, bit rough for those of us travelling over from Norn Iron, but even for those closer did you find the likes of hotels a bit pricier?
I booked mine after last years playoff's wondering about those perhaps thinking of going for first time, flight and traffic delays at that time of year is my biggest concern.
Had a look at the travel package lot EIHL were hawking on their website not sure if prices are a reflection of the fact it is Easter but looked pricey.
Are there any networks/social media groups etc for EIHL? Specifically Flames but equally would be good to have a space (aside reddit) where people meet and chat about their teams and hockey in general.
Hi guys, accidentally bought a single seat ticket in a place I didn’t mean to buy so I got another. I’m selling this one for cheaper than what I got it for.
It’s in block 15, row S, seat 15
Happy to sell it for cheaper than a usual playoff ticket
Remember the post 1-2 months ago about the Glasgow Clan and the allegations from a completely random person in a social media post that the Clan players were sexually harassing crew and passengers on a flight, making loud homophobic remarks and finally, abusing OP and her boyfriend? Remember how outraged many of you were, despite having absolutely no evidence besides a random social media claim made by people who quite frankly looked like they love and need attention? (Both appearing to be going for a social media influencer-related gigs). Some of you cited a completely unrelated issue from a previous management (and nothing to do with the current coach or players) as some sort of "evidence" that the Clan is just an awful, toxic team.
Well, what happened? Did anything come up? Did you see anything in the news, any statements, any follow-up actions? In fact, from just now browsing again the profiles of our noble justice warriors, they themselves have been very quiet and got on with their lives. It gave me a good chuckle to read again how the skinny weirdo of a boyfriend had shouted valianty at a number of professional hockey players and they were "afraid of him". Got second-hand embarrassment again for how made-up it all sounded, but still funny.
I was happy to see that a number of people were not quick to draw conclusions and some were even quite sceptical of the available evidence. This shows sound judgement and adherence to "innocent until proven guilty". I hope that more people stop blindly believing social media and random posts, as honestly, it doesn't make you any better than Trump supporters and Russian social media trolls.
I just wanted to come out and say - on behalf of the Steelers fans - I am sorry that some morons in our club decided to act like that last night. It wasn't just the fight in 218, I saw another fight at 2nd period break between 2 blokes. I also saw a weird increase in people who were drunk that night. It's fairly normal for people to have a drink or two at the Steelers but not for them to get fully hammered. Something really has to be done to prevent things like last night. Take it as a wake up call
I am all for a fight on the ice - because that's what they are paid for. They can do it with medics constantly on watch and ready to act. However, when bafoons in the crowd are taking up the medics time unnecessarily and boring the rest of the crowd, it just isn't fun. Again, I am all for some light banter that is clearly a joke against the other team, it makes the sport more fun. But, if it is resulting in a literal fight with people being injured it is way too far.
I was sat a few rows away from the fight in 218, hearing the call for medics being screamed out was genuinely scary. I was also at the game a year ago against panthers when Adam Johnson ( rest in peace ) was tragically killed. I think about it so often and I think I will forever remember the desperate plea for medics in this situations.
It is unacceptable. We need to do better. I am sorry to everyone affected and the panther fans, as much as we pretend to hate them, I'm sorry about the select few who had to ruin the game. Finally, a bitter congrats to the panthers for winning against us finally
