In the Semi-final, the Flames held the lead on 3 different occasions but a 5 goal collapse inside the final 10 minutes ensured a Playoff title defence would not succeed this season after an 8-3 defeat to Milton Keynes Lightning. A tricky start for the Flames had them 2 men down for nearly 90 seconds thanks to a pair of penalties less than 5 minutes after face off, but a strong penalty killing sequence held the game scoreless.

Andy McKinney had a couple of goals, including the winner just 20 seconds into the 3rd period, that helped lift the Flames to a 5-2 win over visiting Peterborough Phantoms. The win completed the top table placing with an 11 point run from a possible 12 in closing out the group round stage of the playoffs. It also followed up on Friday’s 2-1 win over Sheffield Steeldogs that guaranteed a Coventry Final 4 Playoff berth where the Surreys side’s playoff title defence will continue with a 1 game elimination semi-final against Group B 2nd place club Milton Keynes Lightning.

Tuomas Santavuori banged home a loose goal line puck that had snuck through James Hadfield early in the 3rd period, and that proved to be the difference as the Flames held on to collect a 3-2 Group A playoff win over visiting Sheffield Steeldogs. In Sunday’s follow up, a pair of 2nd period goals to gain a lead, and a quick reply when the Phantoms had cut their deficit late in the game were part of the formula for the Flames retention of the Playoff group A top spot with a 3-1 win at Peterborough.
