I thought comms at IAW were bad but they are terrible at Milton Keynes

KettDevild has found a signal to give us an exteded period report- Stangely addictive game after one period MK having chance after chance but have a NM who cannot catch a beach ball, Devils should win this comfortably although their discipline has been awful.Hopes the Haddad incident want as bad as it looked out of the corner of his eyr

Rachael says Devils seem to have the bounce but Lightning not to be taken lightly. Camera missed the Haddad inscident, apparently the webcast commentator said he didnt see it. Not like Joey

Rachael says Devils looked strong on the major penalty PK along with help from Agent Hudson. Sweet PP goal from Hotham through the 5 hole. Thinks the Devils are controlling this game comfortably, keep it going lads

KettDevil says he suspects Lordo will be much happier with that period. We weere far more disciplined and far tighter as a unit. Less fun to watch, unless we do something silly were are home and hosed here
