Goodwin focused on another EIHL title for Belfast Giants, but first the Guildford Flames

If they lose to the Flames, the Giants will travel to the Dundee Stars on Sunday needing to win their last regular season game.

No matter the outcome, this weekend is going to be both an exciting and a nervy one for Belfast Giants fans.

Speaking to the News Letter, Giants captain David Goodwin, he said: “We have had a good week in build up to Saturday, Keefer has got us to refocus on what is at hand this weekend.

“The boys are feeling good and there is a good buzz in the locker-room. I think that everybody is pretty excited with the weekend ahead.”

Looking ahead to this weekend's first game against the Flames, Goodwin says he is expecting a very competitive game.

He remarked: “We are expecting the Flames to throw their best at us this weekend and no doubt they will be expecting us to do the same. As always the crowd will be super loud and the atmosphere will be electric.

“This season we have had some good battles with Guildford, so we can expect nothing but a very competitive game. They will throw the kitchen sink at us and we will be doing the same.”
