All this talk about teaching Belfast a lesson is nonsense. No hit or fight would have hurt them as much as having to stand on the blue line and watch whilst Richardson collected our third trophy in three weeks.
Not to mention smashing sticks in frustration, the bowed heads at the final whistle and the general body language that goes with defeat.
Defeats in these circumstances hurt more than a few bruises. A tough guy will take a lost fight in his stride, wining important games (and it was important to Giants) knocks the whole team and will last longer
I understand fighting fans but fighting - even for retribution - when you are winning makes no sense
