Challenge Cup Semi Final.. first leg.. enough said!

As excellent webcast will be available at http://www.icetime.tv and it's rather good, so if you're not going have a look, its also worth looking for them on Youtube for interviews and features.

We will be running the 'ridiculously childish and disgustingly biased' Match Night Live service for this game as always expect name calling, slurs and bad jokes about keepers not being able to stop beach balls in epic proportions, at the usual location of http://www.the-inferno.co.uk/mnl

If you'd like to chip in with a comment or make a score prediction on the night you can contact us at matchnightlive@gmail.com

Texters are always needed so if you can help us out please get in touch by PM or text the MNL line on 07527 625206.

tough game following what i'm sure will be a very tough game on sat against the blaze. but with the reward of a cup final appearance and a chance to defend our challenge cup at the end of the two legs, I'm sure the guys will be up for it but they will need the full support of the Red Army to carry them through two tough games 24 hrs apart.

Not in for our game - or is he?

Not in for our game - phew!

He won't be in for this game but will be available for the second leg! He also hasn't played this season so although it's a very impressive signing he doesn't have an awfully long time to get match fit... I wonder if he's been training?

 

[Wannabe2]

Straight replacement for Nickerson, good player but we will too fast for him.

Probably missing the obvious but when is the second leg? Is the league game doubling up?

 

[bdevil]

I think I read somewhere that it's not doubling up. The game that was scheduled for the league is now the 2nd leg and the league game will be arranged for another date.

 

[ASHIPP]

Wouldn't really be fair to either team to have a game so important doubling as a league game. Add to that the Giants would miss out on any revenue benefit from having a seperate 2nd leg game.

The schedule is pretty congested for both teams after last weekend in February. Wonder when the rescheduled league game will be?

I'm sure I read it was going to be towards the end of March.

2nd leg is Tuesday Feb 23rd at Belfast

Front desk at the BBT say that season ticket holders have only until 12 noon Friday to purchase their seats !

Imagine the game being doubled up. Someone one goal up on aggregate but losing by one goal On the night. Would you pull the goalie?!

 

[BostonBart22]

the other reason it may not have been doubled up is the away leg would be a season ticket game for league but the challenge cup semi could be all pay like ours

Season ticket holders in Belfast get all league games, all cc games and play off quarter final game included in their ticket.
Next season the play off quarter final isn't included.

That was a very enjoyable game, some lovely goals tonight from the Devils and an intense effort from both teams.
It was good to see Hendrikx return and I thought he was very solid tonight, great goal too. I suspect Lord's decision on who to rest might get easier as Hendrikx looked hurt and was carrying his arm/shoulder after the open ice hit in the 3rd. He went straight off and didn't return. Some bizarre officiating from Smith and Darnell kept things interesting. A poor hit from Keefe on Kurka, good to see Batch step up.
A place in the final is up for grabs still, should be a cracking second leg.

 

[backrow]

One regret is being blanked on the power play tonight in 6 chances. A 3 or 4 goal victory would have been even nicer!

Also nice to see an OT win by Coventry over Sheffield and Fife's 4-3 win over Braehead. Those games in hand are diminishing.
