Devils Vs Giants - 23/24 Nov 19 - League

[JC23]

Giants deserved that.

On to tomorrow.

 

[Ryanc26]

Sam jargine should go to specsavers cant pass to save his life he is a lose cannon and shoukd be dropped

Totally agree absolute shocking game lord needs to reconsider his options

 

[Kevin roog]

I hope we don’t have the lord “players weren’t ready” rubbish. Look mate they don’t listen to you anymore. Its nearly December and we are all bored shitless

 

[Slartibartfast]

Well the only positives I can take from that game was that McMonagle played well again and Fournier rescued a point for us once again. Oh and as usual, the fourth line was our best line.
I don't normally single players out but I have to agree Jardine had a shocker and its not the first time.

 

[Mazzoak]

Tomorrow should be interesting.

 

[moggy#9]

It's a good thing that Glasgow are struggling to put a streak together.

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

Overall I think the Devils played an excellent 10 mins of hockey. We were unlucky in OT but for most of the game we were poor. Too many loose passes, or passes to nowhere. We were lucky the Giants didn't score 5 or 6 in regular time.

 

[Welshy74]

2nd best across the boards in all aspects and yet again cannot cope with an aggressive forecheck

 

[august04]

I’ll quite happily take a point out of that game, as for 40 minutes, we were completely outplayed and outworked. A great comeback in the third, but Giants looked so much better than us at times. We need to win tomorrow.

 

[JT666]

Me and the boys were bored for 50 minutes, but on our feet for the last 10.

Very disappointing nobody offered anyone out, although in hindsight it wasn’t needed.

First game this season and I thought Riley was shit.

 

[Earnie]

Giants fans fell silent when we made it 3-3 and never woke till they scored in overtime. Spectacular .

 

[august04]

Any thoughts on the slewfoot penalty? I couldn’t see it.

Probably couldn't see at the rink but on the livestream I noticed Louis give a shake of his gloves as if to offer someone (not sure who) out from the faceoff after Belfast went 3-0 up...offer was obviously declined and Belfast would've been stupid to have accepted at that stage.

It was 50 minutes actually, we only played in the last 10 mins, and you ain’t going to win much playing for that amount of time. We nicked a point tonight as we were always second best, the 3-3 score line hid the fact that we were so very poor, untrue to come back but the correct result in the end , we had one wicked chance earlier on and hit the crossbar, but after that we were certainly very poor. Need a win tomorrow big time and need to take 3 points overall, can we do that who knows.

I'd have liked to have seen it from another angle. There seemed to be a motion, but it could simply have been the way his balanced shifted with the tussle of sticks. The ref had a better view than the cameras to be fair.

 

[ASHIPP]

You can't win against the Giants by producing 10 minutes of wild hockey. Devils got a point out of it but a lot to learn against this Belfast team.

Keefe has made two roster changes last week and has them playing like they did last season. Excellent man marking and zone clearance, a slick power play, composed discipline. Pelech, a fine physical defenceman with the ability to read the play and clear out opposition players well before they approach the goal. For long periods tonight, the Devils couldn't get anywhere near Murphy. And Smotherman, always an attacking threat who bosses their pp and always finishes well. And a good supporting cast of players.

Discipline, speed, a fully effective pp not giving Giants a single macro second on the puck are the keys to getting the advantage over them.

Tomorrow night we will see if the Devils have learned anything from this game.

I’ll give you the extra 10 minutes too. We looked clueless at times, and couldn’t string two passes together - but showed a lot of character to come back like that. I do wonder about this team though.

100% correct call and he didn’t complain getting sent either, that was a dirty play I hate plays like that Marchand esk

 

[kingmo19.1]

Was really looking forward to this game, but what a total bore-fest!

Giants deserved to win that plain and simple. Outshot us 37-16 according to the EIHL website.

If Reddick isn't injured then I'd feel very hard done by if I was him.
