Devils @ Giants - March 27th - 7pm - Chat & Updates

jimmy snels and wannabe2, the play by play announcers also praised the refs for their officiating and letting it go while identifying at least half a dozen penalties during the game that should have been called against Belfast. I'm sure the players would like to know that a penalty is going to be called a penalty.
In my opinion, the EIHL needs to address the quality and consistency of the officiating for the league to continue to improve.
I wish Hudson had passed to a wide open teammate who had half an empty net to shoot at with only a few minutes left during 4 on 4, instead to going high glove.
I also felt that Ben Bowens deserved the MOM!

Strange feelings about that result.
Happy that it is only a 1 goal deficit, but somewhat disappointed with the performance of many Devils after what we have come to expect this season. Don't want to pick individuals out but hope they were keeping it back for the home leg. One thing is for sure our "big" guys cannot let us be physically dominated like Westgarth and Keefe did in the 3rd for the Giants.
Anyone thinking a 1-0 loss is a good result beware.

Watching the 1st period, I would have accepted a 1-0 loss but the Devils picked up their play in the last 2 periods quite a bit.
Culli limped off the ice very late in the game, after being grabbed and thrown to the ice down in the Belfast corner. Belfast player had no fear of a penalty being called by that stage of the game. Hopefully, it is not serious because he would be a big loss with his strong two way play.

In all honesty i don't know what jesse has said or done but he's a better player in big games than a number of our other forwards. He's a spark plug, high energy and doesn't care if keefe Westgarth salters or the likes are about. Our extra import hasn't been effective but completely wasted IMO because effectively we've just benched jesse the entire time. Players not rotated Culminating in a couple of real capitulations.
As for clarkson has he thrown a hit against belfast all year?!

Really don't buy into this " Clarkson isn't physical against Belfast because he's friends with Keefe" nonsense. A) Belfast do have other players, B) I doubt he'd be a professional sportsman with that kind of attitude. C) The coach certainly wouldn't allow that!
In fact, if he needs to be more physical, shouldn't the coach be telling him so? Maybe he's been told not to be?
A one goal deficit against a big team in a big game is of course a good result. Its very much in our own hands. We have proved we can beat anyone by a big(ish) margin, especially at home.
