This Friday's Sky Game - Giants V Steelers
- Thread starter becandsi
- Start date
Dear lord. You really are obsessed with me aren't you! Not content with making abusive comments on THF at me you are now bringing it on here.
This is actually what I posted on THF:
Several times I pointed out that it all depends on that trailing leg. I asked if it was touching the ice and Sammi replied to say it was off the ice. At which point I agreed that he must have been way off.
How many other forums are you going around talking about me on?

Pretty funny to see Clarke take a swing at the referee (no doubt will be whitewashed by the league so that Giants don't have to play any games with only 9 imports *shock horror*) and then Christianson stomp over the ice to Carson and then look like he was about to burst into tears when he was bring interviewed.
I maybe wrong on the offside front? Hard to say as looks like his foot is in the air but who knows eh?
Ref and lino were still too far behind to see (and call) and looks first hand to everyone (simms, thommo, fans) that its offside, so what made Carson/lino think differently.
Be interesting to see re Clarke, he hits the plexi with his stick but looks to make body contact with Carson who flinches.

Legue looked a country mile offside at first glance on second viewing i could possibly see why the Lino had doubt in his mind. Overall though it was the wrong call.
I would say that Giants didnt deserve to win it purely because they didnt show enough adventure! Their goal came from pretty much their only meaningful attack and i think Sheffields hard work paid off for them and probably got their luck.
Be very intereting to see the otucome of Clarks penalty making contact with the ref is a big no no and i think we will finally see if this league has any balls with the calls they make here.

From that I'm still not sure the skate isn't touching the line.
Also, on twitter Simms and Thommo are now both saying that have re-watched the game tape it was onside after all.

It may have been because the Steelers' white home shirt contains a lot of teal as the 3rd colour (orange being the other colour). Teal is the main colour in the Giants' away shirt.
I would be suprised if the Steelers wore orange shirts at home again (unless it's against the Giants) - they have worn white for their other league games.

Controversial winning goal aside, the Steelers' equalising goal (with 42 seconds of regulation time left) was a thing to behold..
Brilliant in it's conception and execution - particularly so because of the tiny window of opportunity......and the odds stacked against scoring it. Was a hand pass involved in that? Perhaps I'm blind, but I missed it.
I'm going to get flamed here probably, but credit has to go to Finnerty and his team for eventually working out a way to get past Murphy/Giants' defence. Finnerty was constantly changing his lines and the game plan to try things. It's what the top teams do to win games. Most of us can recall several games last year where the Devils did just that to clinch games in the last minute.
Never thought I'd say this, but I felt for Murphy. He was very unlucky after such an outstanding performance. To lock out 10 opposition pp chances is incredible. For me, he was the best player on the ice last night.
