can anyone clear up a question for me when a puck hits nettie on the mask the game is supposed to be stopped, how come it didnt when lyle got hit on his mask!! also is this the same if a player gets his on the helmet? giants third goal hit kenton on his helmet and pinged against the bar but didnt actually cross the line it was about 2/3 inches in play but a goal was given. not sure about scotty he seemed to flag a few times in the game thought tylor and macrae played very well tonight and tylor should have had mom for me no disrespect to ben
Ben played well tonight on the second line. Showed some real effort when chasing the puck, and he took Hoffman out early on as well despite being about a foot shorter, so props to him for that. I do think Michel should have got MOM though as he played tirelessly all night.
Voth left the bench after the first period, I saw him in the bar during the second. I think the argument with Finnerty rumour is nonsense.
I was under the impression that the entire puck had to cross the goal line for it to count, the Giants third goal came off the crossbar but never did cross the line fully as far as I could see (I was stood sideways on to the goal), and the goal judge didn't think so either but Dean Smith called it himself.

In response to the above, the puck passed the line by about 4 inches or so. It was clear.
Belfast did look very good, their passing was crisp and they broke out quickly. After about 5 minutes though, it was obvious that DC would continue to keep a forward on the opposition blue line. It could have been so different, we were unlucky not to score a few more, if a couple of 1-on-1s had gone our way we could have won that game. If that had happened, we would have snuck it, but wouldn't have deserved it.
G played really well, as did Ben. Steve started a little shakily but his confidence grew as the game went on. Craze on the other hand, started well but felt his confidence start to fade as the game developed, we should have peppered him with shots in the final period.
Oh well, feeling better than last night

Have to agree phil,i spoke to voth after he had changed,just at the start of the 2nd period,and his left hand was maybe 2 or 3 times the size of his right.It was very swollen and you could tell it was giving him a fair bit of pain. He confirmed it was from the fight on saturday night, so this rumour about this so-called arguement with finnerty is just that, a rumour!
A
Pluses
Got to start with G, thought he was great tonight, defended very well and scored a peach, definitely MoM for me!
Thought at times we matched the Giants and the game would of gone into OT if it wasn't for bad luck and good net minding.
Great crowd, kept vocal but the deep voiced bloke in block 3 !
Definitely think our 1st line will be sorted soon and will start to cause serious damage!
Great performances from Tylor (as always) and Ben.
Much better team performance
Minuses
Another defeat.
Defence looks shaky and nervous
Lyle started game looking very nervous.
9 goals conceded in 2 games
zero point weekend
A much better performance but still not quite there. We will need patience of a saint for a few months guys but hang in there!
I think Sawyer is perhaps trying too hard to impress, trying to make slick passes out of defence and giving the puck away. He reminds me of Tony Adams, the ex arsenal stalwart. Great one minute, dodgy the next.

The Finnerty Voth rumour was nonsense.These guys are best mates and even when best mates have a disagreement its forgotten,thats what great about being great mates.
Don't suppose Voth was helped by Clark being a coward in keeping his helmet on even though he was the one who stepped up to start the fight.
Better performances from many of the players and the D looked better.Not panicking yet as when you look at the 4 games played we have played against good sides.Losing to Sheffield was a shock and a bit of a sickener but just goes to prove where we are and expectations from the fans need to match that.Whilst this side maybe could have gone close to winning the league last season,everybody else has also improved their sides.
