Giants Vs Devils - Challenge Cup Final - 16th March 22

[Hockeymad]

Calm down guys jeeze it's 2.2 in Belfast last few minutes.

We have 4 d men aswell all game the guys need credit not abuse.

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

Boys are clearly tired. They've played extremely well all things considered. I said it in p2 we needed that 3rd goal but that's hockey for you.

 

[moggy#9]

Nothing wrong with the performance, but the tiredness is clearly a factor. I'm dreading over-time though. Belfast are obviously a very good team, but goodness I can't stand them.

 

[MA18]

Well that was coming. Awful defence to start the third.

A period

It's so frustrating when you miss half the action because of the camera work.

Far to much crowd not enough ice on the wide shot.

 

[Rempel16]

Still can’t understand why we came out with the intention of protecting the lead rather than playing our game.

Hope I’m wrong but I think fatigue might overwhelm us now.

 

[Mazzoak]

Rollercoaster ride anyone. We’ve held our own, ain’t pretty sure, we still have a possibility and that all things considered with this team, these circumstances is a pretty epic achievement no matter whatever happens now.

Is it me, not seen much of waller, davies or duggan...and where's brandt

 

[RedDevil17]

Is it me, not seen much of waller, davies or duggan...and where's brandt

I was thinking that!

 

[Kevlar68]

Our boys have given it their all, couldn't ask any more of them just the game plan going in to the third harmed us, did look like a defend the lead plan.

 

[jenks33]

What a chance for Sanford with just over 2 minutes left. Will we get a better chance than that to win it

 

[tim78]

I hope we don't pull the younger players in OT, like Lord did years ago in the Shef final.
Those players have the energy to spark a counter in OT

 

[Swarley]

No matter the result them players gave 100% for the full 60 minutes, nothing but respect for the team that shows up short benched and plays like that.

 

[CornwallTaffy]

Are there penalty shots after a timed overtime or continuous overtime until one team scores

 

[BostonBart22]

Are there penalty shots after a timed overtime or continuous overtime until one team scores

20 min periods will be no penalties

 

[Kevlar68]

BUGGER!

 

[moggy#9]

Yup, that was coming. No complaints though.

 

[moggy#9]

Had to be an appearance by the laptop. ;-)

 

[Diablo3]

Good effort from the guys considering

 

[Jonesy83]

As if a goal was ever gonna be called back against Belfast.

Unlucky Devils, did very well. Still think that was completely the wrong tactic at the start of the 3rd period but hey ho, live and learn.

Well done to both teams for a great cup final

 

[jenks33]

Disappointing but a good effort by the boys. This is probably not the right time to bring it up but I am a bit disappointed that we started a final with only 4 D. A final that we knew we were in weeks ago. If they expected McNulty to be fit then fair enough but if we knew weeks ago that McNulty would miss the final then a new recruit would have been nice. Ah well
