PIHA Playoffs

[GROWL]

Just a notice to all interested. I was told today that the PIHA playoffs will take place Saturday, June 4th at Susquehanna Sports Center in Harrisburg. It apparently is a one day event beginning at 11:00 am. When I know more I will post.

Months of hockey, the games, the practices, the injuries, the travel, the weekends away from girlfriends, families and kids.......all for one day.....say it ain't so.

For all those reasons, sounds good to me. I don't see a point to drawing it out unnecessarily.

I am puzzled by this decision myself, but the games still must be played whether its one day or two weeks.

IMO its not the best idea only because this is marketed as "PROFESSIONAL", and whichever teams play in the finals will be tiered from the semi's... is it me or will the teams not be at the best they can be??? espcailly if one series goes to overtime, or a third game, seems unfair... again just my .02, i just wish i could play :/

i'm not slow, i'm patient

Guess this means we'll see who the best Skilled team/Conditioned team is. Come on guys... who hasn't played in the different tournaments and played At Least 2 games in a day.
Not saying this is the way I would have done it, but ya know.

Frankly, I find it ridiculous. Who could be happy with this decision? Start the protest now. Demand the second day.

[wolves89]

true we all play tournaments, but are we not marketed as "PROFESSIONAL"??? that's like having the devils play the flyers in the morning in the conf. finals and then having them play detroit that night for the stanley cup.

But they check.

[extremes55]

my opinion...shut up and play hockey...enjoy the game and the good competition

[GROWL]

You think there hasn't been protest? Trust me there has been pleanty of protest about more then just the timing of the playoffs... Location, rosters, teams showing up, ect.

Here is the bottom line. Decisions are made for a reason and we must do what is best for the league. I am confident that decisions weren't made to benefit any one particular team, so there is nothing to really complain about.

[wolves89]

once again, the point has been missed...

How is the potential for forcing the team that is going to be facing the Typhon to play three games prior to the championship series good for anyone?
I have followed the league closely this year and find this playoff format to be flat out stupid. After this long of a season it is crazy to end it in one day with one of the two teams playing for the championship having to possibly play six games.

Since the Yoder boys are not playing, why bother at all?
