These two teams only played one game at the weekend, against each other and is becoming a rivalry. The reason why is probably because whenever Giants are doing well, Clan seem to play them at there own game. With Saturdays game between these teams, Clan were ready and this would be a screamer of a game. Heres how it went...
Not many goals, but lots of action as thriller of a game and anyones game sees Giants edge Clan...
Top of the league Belfast Giants are almost league champions and were hoping to keep it up against Braehead Clan which turned out to be one of the toughest and best hockey games of the season.
From the first puck drop, the sold put Braehead arena knew that they were in for an explosive match-up. It was like both of these teams were top of the league. Someone had to score eventually and at 17:06 Ash Goldie backhanded it in the net for 1-0 Clan. Giants have been great all season though and responded quickly (just under two minutes later) for 1-1. Jeff Szwez with the goal.
The second and third period were scoreless, as both goalies were making countless saves, playing some amazing hockey which should make them proud goaltenders! It was intense throughout as the offense tested the defense and goalies, both teams looked top of the league but someone had to win. The only way to reward both sides was by going to overtime as they got a point. Who would double it though? It was all to play for.
Overtime was full of drama and Clan played it calmly but a wrong pass saw Dustin Whitecotton all alone to fire it in for a giant win! 2-1 to Giants final score!
