The Caps back up didn't travel so the Giants must have offered up young Andrew Dickinson as i think EIHL rules state you have to have 2 netminders dressed for the game. Rudowsky had the nightmare of all nightmares last night, we scored 2 goals in the opening minute on our first 2 shots and were...

Sean 'one punch' McMorrow, it only took them 13 seconds not much of a scrap but Giants seemed to feed of it and went 3 up before 3 powerplay goals by the Devils leveled things up I'd put my house on them going early doors tomorrow night.

The quotes posted from McMorrow are from his pr when his signing was announced, he at the minute doesn't appear to be a total goon. Thornton is playing him on the powerplay plonking him in front of the goalie using him as a screen and he's been getting more ice time in recent games also...

Thornton got banned last year for allegedly ;) striking Payette with his stick, he watched from the stands and then went into the locker room during the period breaks. If Adams gets a ban then i'm sure he would be free to do the same.

Was at the pre season game last night, it was men against boys as the Vipers had some of their younger guys playing to fill the gaps. The Giants were missing Thornton, McMorrow, Cook and Murphy. Faubert looks like he's going to be a star in this league he was awesome along with Bateman and...

- As far as i know McMorrow is on his way, however there is a rumour that Thornton hasn't recovered from an operation and may not be able to play which would leave 1 import spot left which i would assume would be Awada who maybe hasn't retired as first thought. Thornton would then remain as...

Giants confirm signing of Michael Jacobsen http://www.belfastgiants.com/archives/j ... -signs-up/ A 4 import d with 2 capable players backing them up looks good, lets hope they can give Murphy and Craze plenty of protection.

With players only having to give 2 weeks notice it could be any of our import signings, got a better offer, a job outside of hockey i guess we will just have to wait and see.

Its the exact same group we had as last year which we went through undefeated on our way to lifting the trophy :D p.s we lost the first leg of the final but won the second does that count as undefeated? :?

Giants only have 1 pre season friendly against the Vipers on the 27th August, we don't play again until our first league game away to the Panthers on the 5th September. I'm not sure if this enough time together on the ice, its hard to replicate match intensity in training.

Craze played the first 2 rounds of the BK cup against Steelers and then Blaze, only that he injured himself celebrating after a league win Lyle came in and played semi-final and final. In the Challenge cup he played against the Vipers as we were already secured a place in the 2nd phase as we...

Well the good news for you guys is that your first game of the season definitely wont be away to Belfast :) , the Odyssey is booked out that weekend so we may be coming to the bay. We have to wait until the 12th of September before we get to see our team play :( . Also the Giants fixtures this...

As a Giants fan i rated Lyle quite highly, we had an attack minded D last year with Burgoyne, Howells and Phillips all playing as an extra forward sometimes which left us open at the back, we gave up a lot of odd man rushes leading to goals against so its hard to pin the blame on the goalie...

He was apparently heading to Europe with Deniset Martin and Robbins and with our recent signings he doesn't appear to be coming back to Belfast. What didn't you like about him? he was a good player on the ice and his shorthanded goal in the dying minutes of the challenge cup will never be...

Looking forward to a great game at the Odyssey, hopefully by then we will be double cup winners :D :D and can carry that momentum onto this game. Giants form isn't an accurate measuring stick as Thornton has rested players and players have played on different lines to conserve energy for the...
