Which team will not make it into the Play-Offs this season?
My vote right now goes to Bison!

Bison will just fall to the Racers who will sneak the last spot. 4th & 5th will be last years top two!
I have seen the future

I don't think Giants will make it. But i think it will be very close. Def between Giants and Bison.

I think it will be the Bison but I think that it will be a close contest.

Does anyone actually think the Bison will make it? Surely they're not that bad a team to be so dismissed by everyone

Wait till i see the racers play but would have to agree at this stage it looks to be between the herd and the racers.

In games between the two favoured losing teams the Racers currently hold the edge with one win and a very controversial draw in which I'm sure Racers fan feels aggrieved

I actually heard from somewhere that all 7 teams make the playoff this season. I hope thats not true because it means the groups won't be even. As to who will finnish bottom of the league though, I am going to make a brave guess and say Basingsoke Bison.   |

The play off groups are definately 2 lots of 3 but each team will play each other twice home and twice away instead of just once like last year. Which means we will get 8 play off games and possibly two more trips to Belfast  |

i think that the bison cant make it , they are a good team and they can scrap points but still wont be enough , i'm happy that the racers aregetting points not having to wait till the end of the season to see them win! blaze have got the place in the bag , not tempting fate tho , |

It will be the jostling for positions at the end which should make for good viewing

Bison don't seem to be the favourites for the play-off spot  |

It does seem now that the play offs will be just one round of home and aways not as i read previously
Still looks like Bison will be odd man out but that opinion could change after Saturday

As promised... "Richard The playoff format for the Elite League is as follows: The team that is in 7th position on the 15th March will be eliminated from the playoffs. The top six are then split into two groups, group A and group B, in group A the teams that have finished 1st, 4th and 6th and in group B teams that have finished 2nd, 3rd and 5th. Each group will play the team in their group twice home and twice away. the top two teams in each group will then go to the play off finals weekend. Regards Andy French Director of Hockey Elite Ice Hockey League" EDIT: Just like to say thanks to Andy French for answering my email so quickly  |
