I think these goal judges:
Admirals to be big against Stampede and knock them out (I’m confident this will be wrong, but I like being out on a limb), Thunder/Swarm to split.
I’ve done a new poll/thread for this weekend’s games.
That bit there, where it was cracking out underneath Dave’s slight weight.
Henceforth known as the time that David Patchett almost died.
Well that makes the board a little clearer.
Thunder needed points over the weekend, two losses at home to admirals probably leaves them needed to win six games straight to have a chance of the finals. Same for Stampede, who are 1 point ahead.
Swarm have really firmed themselves up as a finalist and a good chance for home advantage after two solid wins over Devils.
Devils didn’t take the opportunity to distance themselves from the pack, if any one of the other three teams step up through to the end of the season they’re a risk not to make the final.
Teams making 31 points are guaranteed into the final, but in reality 27 or 28 should do it. Devils would like three wins from their last four games, 2 wins and they could be vulnerable.
Admirals beat Thunder 8-2. 2-1 end of the 1st, 4-2 end of the second. Thunder pulled Parry for most of the third, then pulled Bryant with about 6 or 7 to go and put Parry back in.
thunder had their chances, their work in their own zone looked pretty substandard.

[/quote:2f6ebic2]That was my point. It only comes up at the punishment stage.
The NZ Inline Hockey association has a national schedule of recommended suspensions. Very useful when I chaired their southern disciplinary committee. Once you’ve found someone guilty you just look at the range, and if it’s a first offence pick the bottom, if they’re a repeat offender you head towards the top, and then consider any special circumstances that mean you want to adjust or suspend part of the sentence.
There’s a national register of disciplinary procedures so you know what a player has done previously, or elsewhere.
Ice Hockey discipline is much less transparent, and certainly not as consistent across different locations/levels.

[/quote:3aknmolb]I think his point was that under the criminal code, spitting and hitting with a stick are one way around, under ice hockey discliplinary code, the relative punishments are reversed.
Yeah Paul, but the NZIHL rules and regs have always had specific NZ game misconduct rules in them. The last 10 minutes rule was in there, so we’ve always overruled the IIHF rulebook in this regard.
My understanding was that this change was in immediately after the first half of the league. The last 10 minutes rule was removed over the summer because it was entirely arbitrary, but this “next game for any game misconduct” rule has been put in because the league discovered that they’d bettered last year’s tally of game misconducts three weeks in.
Tricky. I’m picking a split between devils and swarm.
Both games to Thunder, though one will be awful close.
