The playoffs are
really hotting up now! Only five EIHL teams remain in this years playoffs and season as a whole. On Sunday, there were only two games, that meant a lot!
Hull Stingrays attempted a comeback against Belfast Giants and the three goal aggregate score, which looked impossible to come from, shockingly became one in the second period as Stingrays lead 2-0. But as Giants have done all season, they went on to win 3-2 and 7-3 on aggregate to qualify once again for finals weekend!
Giants opponents for Saturdays semi-final would be decided in a crucial game between Dundee Stars and Fife Flyers. Stars had nearly come from behind the previous night as at one point they were down 4-0 but the Gardiner conference champions closed that gap to 4-3 on the night making Sunday a
massive showdown! Stars gave their all on their final home game this season but Flyers heroics got them a 4-1 victory meaning a 8-4 final aggregate score would get them their first playoff weekend appearance since returning to top flight action!
