Didn't see or hear this one looks like it might have been a decent game. I know there were more than a few Giants fans intending to road-trip there today. Good to see Repik get two goals and to see Mario contributing as well.

The Giants seemed to have turned a bit of a corner and might be on the way to establishing an identity for this years squad. Michal Repik, Jonathon Blum and Mario Bliznak hooked up for a couple of goals with Repik notching both the markers and Blum and Bliznak in on both assists. Lance Bouma scored his second in as many nights off of James Wright who was a healthy scratch versus the Chiefs. Much as they started last night the Giants ended the first period with both teams scoreless. Repik scored just past the mid-way mark in the second on the PP to put the visitors up by one. The Giants were playing their third game in a 3 in 3 road trip grind. The Bruins tied the game up on a PP of their own a bit later in the period as Oscar Moller scored off of Santorelli and Campos. Repik scored his second of the night at 8:50 of the third to give the Giants a lead they would not relinquish. Bouma tallied another goal less than a minute later giving his team an insurance marker. Tyson Sexsmith got the start between the pipes for the G-Men as it seems that Kraymer Barnstable’s short lived confidence from the team was shattered when he allowed 3 on 8 shots in the game versus the Americans.
I am once again writing this recap from the box score so feel free to add some details to flesh out exactly how the game went tonight. It looked to have been a bit of a feisty game with both sides playing a fairly evenly. The Giants out-shot the Bruins 28-20, went 1 for 4 on the PP, while the Bruins went 1 for 5. More than few misconducts were handed out tonight as Hunt, Cloud and McCue all got 10 minute misconducts. Young defenseman Stefan Schneider finally saw his first ice-time in a Giants uni, after impressing in camp and then having to recover from an injury to this point in the season. He was an even tonight with 2 PIMs. I’d be curious to hear how he fared and what the impressions were of his play.
The Giants have a few days off before they take on the Prince George Cougars on Wednesday at the Coliseum. The Giants will be eager to exact some revenge upon the Cougars who blanked the G-Men 3-0 in Prince George. The puck drops at the Coliseum at 7:00pm PST.
