Make no mistake about it, this is the game of the season, the one we have all been waiting for.  This is a must win for the Giants and if they do indeed keep their winning streak going tonight they will move three points ahead of Coventry in the title race.  Yes the Blaze have four games in hand but the pressure will really be on.  Even going into tonights game the Giants have the mental edge knowing they are top of the league now and that the Blaze are coming off a two-game losing streak.

Watch Carlyle Lewis give Ryan Shmyr a bit of a beating. Shmyr got the take down maybe but Lewis did all the damage. Big win for a guy on real fighting form and really protecting his team-mates.

For those unlucky not to have got to the game last night there’s a few clips up on Youtube.  Take a look:

Carlyle Lewis vs Brett Cloutier (Look for Carlyle’s great right hook at the 39 second mark).

Mark Morrison vs Luke Stauffacher (Rock ‘em Sock ‘em, stand back and Throw ‘em fighting here).

Man, does Pope ever like to just tie up his opponent and hang on for dear life!!!

League leaders Coventry Blaze and ex-scoring champ Curtis Huppe are in town to face a Giants team without FIVE regular players, four of which are go-to import players. The irony being we could probably use Curtis more than ever yet some fans will still find reason to boo him no doubt. MORE »
