I enjoyed my weekend in Cardiff, great vibrant city which now has a really good rink.
Pity how the weekend panned out. I felt the Giants played well on the Sunday and very disappointed we didn't win that game. To lose it in that manner, by a fanned pass was heart breaking.
The new rink looked great. Maybe some teething issues but those will be worked out.
Anyway I badly need sleep and nearly have a voice. But great weekend.
Glad you had a good time (albeit without the result you wanted ). Out of curiosity did you feel nickerson challenging Hendrikx to the fight was a turning point and poor decision? Every person i spoke to (all devils) felt he put personal retribution ahead of the team goal and swung momentum girmly the devils way.
Nope I have no issue with that. And I hope Nicko challenges him again Wednesday.
For me the turning point was the penalties. Thought some of the calls where soft. Garside hooking was nonsense, and forney also got 2 mins for tripping I think, and honestly it looked like the Devils player lost his edge on the wet ice. Felt a couple of nothing calls went against us, then after that we lost our cool and started taking stupid penalties. For me that was the turning point. We lost our cool and let the Devils right back into it.
Honestly felt hogarth lost control of the game and looked lost for periods of it. Cardiff are a good team but when we have 5 player's sitting in the box it's an up hill battle.
But even at that we regrouped and came back. Felt in OT we had the pressure in the zone. With the Devils player missing a stick it became a massive chance to win. But an awful missed pass by ganzak allowed kurka to skate in and win it for you guys.
To be fair it's been the same pit falls for the giants all season. A bad call goes against us and we lose our composer and take other multiple penalties. This season has been one of major disappointment. Soo frustrating and personally I'll be glad it's over so we can rebuild.
I like walser, very passionate and wears his heart on his sleeve. But hopefully he can learn from this year, think he needs to be more of a calming influence with the team .
But that's just my opinion
We did have hendrix wife on at us most of the game haha
