Totally agree that not being able to play physical hockey on the big ice is garbage, the amount of checks our players pull out of is ridiculous and Bordelaeu is one of the chief culprits, he should be hitting everything and if he's not going to then bench him and put Piggot on in his place to show how it's done
Forgot to add my two pence worth on the Andrew Hotham debate. The guy clearly has bags of skill going forward, and is a proven goal and points scorer. He's also at times suspect in defence, last night proving this point.
Is it ridiculous to suggest swapping he and Culligan around when Scott Hotham returns? Culligan seems quite content to play defenceman when is given that responsibility (even emphasising his passion for penalty killing in his interview in mid week), Andrew evidently doesn't.
Am I missing something or would Hotham make a much better defensive forward, than an attacking defenceman?

it's down to lord to tell the players what there doing wrong etc and give them a good talking to if they ain't listening.
To me he seems to nice a guy to coach a hockey team wanted to challenge for trophies. He should be at a Dundee or fife team who are willing to finish mid table. We need a Neil warnock in our changing room if we are to challenge at the top. Someone who will release players someone who will shout between period breaks etc. Ilord seems the type to sit there with a cup of tea and let the players off gentle.. all being said they will get a win tonight and all will be forgotten

+/- are recorded, just not publicised publically.
I appear to be in the minority here but I actually thought Hotham was one of our best players last night, as he has been for the last couple of games. In a team low on confidence at home he's happy to have the puck when under pressure and is also one of our most creative players.
1st period was pretty even as was the start of the 2nd. Two uncharacteristic mistakes then gave Sheffield two easy goals and we seemed to implode. By the time we got our heads back in the right place it was too late.
Sadly without Bowns tonight we are going to be really up against it and I'd be amazed if we don't end the weekend pointless.

Will the real Cardiff Devils please stand up?! Superb performance so far tonight, I'm sure someone must have given them a rocket up their arses last night and a few home truths. Murdy with arguably the save of the season during the second period. Note to Lord and his team, please don't take your Cardiff home support for granted - last night's effort was pathetic compared to this game, no matter what happens in the 3rd period.
