Giants v Devils - Fri/Sat 17/18 Feb 2017 - League - FO 7pm

- Start date
Great idea for the future
Refs to run the game as usual but then review the video before completing the game sheet 24 hours later
That way fans can input to all that they missed. This gives a 360 degree view of the game and the bigger the support the greater the numbef of experts available to help the refs. Opinions would have to be weighted according to attendance and social media numbers but I'm sure this can be accomdated
In the meatime can we assume DOPS will delay any announcements until the game sheet is confirmed as the final version

Myers & CJ penalties not an upgrade since TWO 10 minute miscionduct penalties triggers an automatic Game Misconduct
A number of other Game Penalties have been added though... It's farcical to be honest! I assume with the Match Penalties to each Bench Coach the whole incident gets reviewed automatically. I'll await the findings with nervousness based on the utter incompetence of DOPS. A.Hotham gets 5+Game for Fighting, can someone show me where his Fight was after the buzzer... all I see is him push someone and then get punched in the side of the head by Rutherford?
Fantastic weekend with 2 brilliant results.
The melee at the end was a lot of handbags caused by a referee way out of his depth. Should never have been chosen to ref these games. The 2nd game was almost spoilt by Hogarth and can understand the frustration both sets of players had with him. He becomes flustered way to easily and seems to lose his temper which is never good for a referee in any sport.
I don't honestly see the Devils players doing much wrong other than defend themselves against some frustrated Giants players. Vandermeer continuing to sucker-punch Fournier when down on the ice looks the worst of it and there definitely seemed to be some plan to target Bowns from a few Giants. With Devils players obviously looking to get in between the Giants going after him. All a lot of nonsense to be honest. The worst incident of the night is definitely Walser's blindside hit on Benti. I would suspect we ask that to be reviewed given the injury caused.

Belfast players and coach lost the plot on Saturday, Fridays result was doing their heads in, as they realised they are the second best team in the league, and not the best, which obviously we are.They knew they had to pull a rabbit out of the hat on Saturday, but someone had forgotten the hat (poper was probably wearing it). Frustration then kicked in to Giants players, wishing they were playing for the best club in the league. Envy can be a terrible thing and can make people do extremely strange things, like punching people in the back of the head, and punching people who are looking the other way. I thought for about a millisecond sorry for the antagonists, but then realised at the end of the day thugs are thugs, especially when they can't have their own way. So we move on towards our goal, leaving the scene of the crime, to greener grass over the water in Gods Country. Thanks Belfast for reiterating what we taffies already know, and that is that we are number 1.
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS
HAPPY HOCKEY DAYS
This year our style of play is several notches above last year, which took us a while to get used to I think. We worried about Andrew & Gleason getting forward too much, who's defending? Turned out they knew what they were doing, Lordo seems to as well ! All our worries have been laid to rest !! This final part of the season is going to be unforgetable, Cum On U Devils !!
I think DOPS are weeing themselves over what to do about this end of game fracas. Seriously...they need to look at the bigger picture. Nothing really happened...bit of fun after two hard fought games. Nothing to see really. Just Hockey!
Loved two goalies having a cuddle. Doesn't happen often!
Just my humble opinion but forget it......bit of a scrum after a really important game. I bet the only people thinking about it are the EIHL. I reckon the players forgot about it before they even had a shower.

I don't think DOPS has anything to review for the post game stuff. Perhaps a warning to both bench coaches, but that's it really. There are no automatic post game incident reviews as a result of penalties listed so far. I assume they'll be reviewing Jones's penalty for the hit on Mason (although I can't remember what it was for now) and I hope we request a review of the Walser hit on Bentivoglio. That's about it for me.
Great weekend away in Belfast. First away trip for me with the Devils and thought it was great. On a slightly more disappointing note, I was shocked to hear a rowdy group of lads sat near the middle of the block shouting things such as: Martinelli is 'homeless', 'decent totty' in the arena, and 'i'd go through her like a train'. From what I saw, they may well have had a point but there's a time and place for it
It's a family sport guys!
