And there it is

2-1 Giants

Crandall mistake

 

[moggy#9]

Sigh, I think the fat lady is warming up.

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

That's it now.

 

[moggy#9]

Chickens firmly home and roosting.

 

[Hedd Wyn John]

Ultimately the Devils pushed as far as they could, they gave it 100%. Giants have shown since January they've had that extra quality over the rest of the league and they've shown it in P3 tonight. Deserved Grand Slam winners.

 

[ASHIPP]

Devils got to throw everything at it now. And don't give the refs a reason to send someone to the bin. Unfortunately, Giants have proved many times that they can just go up a gear or two when they need to wrap up the game.

 

[moggy#9]

How the hell is that not a penalty? This refereeing is a joke.

 

[Kevlar68]

BUGGER!

 

[OJLloyd2]

Not sure what’s more annoying:

1. the commentary acting like this is a Giants CHL game and we’re some random Euro team
2. The refereeing
3. The fact that Belfast will celebrate this despite breaking the signing/salary cap rules.

 

[Jonesy83]

I try not to get on the reffing is a joke bandwagon very often

But f*ck me, these zebras need glasses!

This league has zero credibility. It’s not administrated properly whatsoever.

 

[moggy#9]

Really very little point in pulling the goalie when you can't retain the puck. It's a pity that giants success is tainted by the whole wage cap situation.

Now if Dupont and horn will just f**k off and take Reid and Crandall with them.

 

[Kevlar68]

Let's not be sore losers, let's not lay our loss at the feet of refs or wage caps.

Well the good Devils showed up for the first period, unfortunately not for the second and third. No complaints, well beaten.

 

[moggy#9]

No, I'd look a lot closer to home.

 

[OJLloyd2]

We shouldn’t really be in the final. On a consistency basis this should have been Guildford v Belfast.

We didn’t deserve to win. But none of that takes away from the facts of the issues with the administration of the league.

And Thompson, Batch and Jardine for me.

 

[Joefish]

Let's not be sore losers, let's not lay our loss at the feet of refs or wage caps.

I think it's important to do both. Our loss is down to the many issues we know this team has.

Their victory is, at least in part, down to suspicious circumstances. Would the Belfast Giants of January this year won any of their three trophies?

 

[moggy#9]

And Thompson, Batch and Jardine for me.

You forgot Brittain.
