No I won't get my rose tinted glasses off. Our points per game was better this year than last. Last year we won the league by 10 points. This year we lost on regulation wins. I am pretty sure many of our stats are better this year.
Yes it was in our hands and yes it is disappointing, but some of the posts on here are from people who don't deserve to be fans.
We got pipped to the post. Simple as that. Belfast played amazingly down the stretch to give themselves a chance today.
I am glad to support a team who remain in contention, and usually win titles. It was very different a few years ago. Let's not forget. Although I expect a lot of people on here were not fans 5+ years ago.
People calling for Bowns head are quite frankly idiots.
Honestly I really couldn’t care about points per game. Fact is we bottled it and got punished by the better team in the Belfast Giants. Do you expect fans to be happy after blowing an 11 point lead? I backed the team all year and truth is there are passengers that need to leave.There are times in which Belfast played poor but they got the points and that’s the sign of champions. Who are you to call fans fake saying they don’t deserve to be fans??
I forked out £400 or so on a season ticket to watch boring stale hockey at times. Admittedly it was an exciting end to the season but the title should’ve been wrapped up ages ago. If you lose to Coventry and Dundee within the last week you don’t deserve to win the league, simple. You’d think they’d step up the performance a bit considering what’s on the line! Last night wasn’t anything to go by, they had their backup in and he let in 8 goals most of which he should’ve saved.
All that 5 years ago stuff is in the past which tbh I couldn’t really care about. We’ve got good owners now and we’ve built a winning reputation. You can’t win everything which I accept but the least you can expect is a bit of consistency throughout the season. If we go trophyless it’s a massively disappointing season. Just remember we didn’t even get to the semis of the challenge cup or have you forgotten that? Sometimes positivity is fine but if you ask me the last week or two have been anything but. Don’t call people out saying people don’t deserve to be fans. As you would usually say that’s ‘disrespectful!’ and ‘no need for it!’
I will agree that Bowns has been our saving grace at times this season.
Overall giants deserve the league and I hope changes will be made.
Onto next season.
