KettDevil's peeriod report - Not the best period from the Devils. Sloppy defendingagainst a very good looking Giants team. Devils look dangerous going forward but are trying for the perfect goal.

Officials back on ice

Come on U DEVILS lets have a 2nd period like last weeks in Sheffield

Cornwall Taffy watching in France says - Good webcast. Cardiff on top during early minutes but Belfast breaking fast. A few poor passes coming out from the defence resulted eventually in two goals for the giants. An incredible goal by the Devils. Excellent referee. Game pretty even towards the end of the period.
