Woah... We're 'half' way there...
25-Mar-2006The Coors Belfast Giants tonight picked up two points on the road to Nottingham and the 2006 EIHL Playoff Finals. It marks the half way point of the group stages and the Giants have now completed all of their road games
Ed Courtenay's side will be pleased with their efforts to date, the EIHL League Champions picked up 3 points from a maximum of 6 in a competition where every point away from home is a vital one.
The Giants tonight picked up their first win in the Playoffs since they won the trophy 14 games ago! A 4-2 win in Edinburgh added two points to the 1 they recieved for drawing with Coventry in the Skydome.
The Cardiff Devils, the only team to triumph over the Giants in the playoff group so far, are clear group leaders and picked up 2 more points this evening over the Coventry Blaze. And it's the Devils who travel to the Odyssey Arena this Wednesday night in the first of the Giants 3 home games.
Giants fans will be hoping that the tight schedule, 3 games in four days, will not be to the detriment of their side and that the Giants will remain strong in their fight for the 2006 Playoffs Trophy
