Giants slip to third
February 25th, 2007Panthers 6, Giants 3
Although Ed Courtenay managed an assist in his first game of the season it wasn’t enough to stop yet another hiding for the Giants as Nottingham where the latest team in line to dish it out to them this week, beating them 6-3. Curtis Huppe was indeed the man replaced by Ed Courtenay but theres been no word from the Giants on what the reason was for Huppe being replaced. Clearly he was not the man needing replaced it it where not because of injury and yet again the Giants struggled to come together as a team dropping them to third in the league.
Giants goals came from Awada, Dutiaume and Ruff while Shawn Skiehar dropped the gloves with Ryan Shmyr in the third period. The Giants travel north of the border to Scotland to take on the Edinburgh Capitals tonight, but a team once considered to be an easy two points, will really feel they can take on the Giants and beat them. Nobody would argue against right now.
