    Credit where credit is due, heck of a fight back!

    Devils Vs Panthers - Playoff Final - 20th Apr 25 - FO 17:00

    I think this has been the Devils season in an absolute nutshell - can’t string 2 performances together. A belter of a performance yesterday followed by this today. The D needs an overhaul this summer, I’m not going to call individuals out, but they’ve cost us goals all season long.

    Devils Vs steelers - League - 27th Nov 24 - FO 19:30

    Big game for us with Steelers banged up - we need to play a heavy but disciplined game and get the job done. Suspect Busch will want to drop them with Shudra - but hopefully not to detract us from the job at hand.

    Devils Vs Clan - League - 22nd Nov 24 - FO 19:30

    I do begin to wonder if there is a bit of a concentration problem - it seems we’ve conceded a higher than normal amount of goals after we’ve just scored or at the start of periods etc. Clan’s goal at the start of the 3rd period was a killer. Games like last night is where we miss a Hotham -...

    Clan Vs Devils - League - 28th Sept 24 - FO 19:00

    Good character win this - not an easy place to go after a sluggish performance in the first 30 mins against Storm and 4 imports down after a long old road trip. Agree on Z O’B - I can imagine opposition scouting department won’t be as quiet about him though, that’s for sure! Makes Hockey look...

    Devils Vs Storm - CC - 27th Sept 24 - FO 19:30

    I would like to think that when they see the footage back, they form a queue of wanting a piece of Ulett in the next game, irrespective of toughness.

    Devils Vs Storm - CC - 27th Sept 24 - FO 19:30

    Have you seen the video footage of it - looks horrific. Barrow is defenceless on the ice with his back to Ulett and he two hand slashes directing towards the head, followed up with a cross check to his lower body. I think it will be 5+ and a hefty, hefty fine.

    Devils Vs Storm - CC - 27th Sept 24 - FO 19:30

    Barrow answered the bell at the end of the last match - so would like to think that would be the end of it. I would want McWilliam and Gourlay on the ice for Barrow’s first shift and stop any nonsense at the source.

    BATCH suspended

    How have DOPS called the initial hit by Catenacci as a ‘Legal hit’ - it’s a textbook cross-check to Batch’s upper arm? Batch takes grievance and cross-checks back twice, then Catenacci has a dirty high slash to the groin and Batch then takes him down. The lack of transparency by DOPS is...

    Cole Sanford leaves ESV Kaufbeuren

    I wouldn’t say we have 2 top lines - I would say we have 3 top lines looking at our roster and would expect minutes to be shared out more this year. Think you’re being a little harsh on Sanford saying he only scores goals, his defensive play came on leaps and bounds last season under PR and was...

    Cole Sanford leaves ESV Kaufbeuren

    I’m sure the ownership group will be looking at what can be done if he is interested in coming back to the EIHL - he improved his allround game last season (more specifically defensively) and he would offer us something different to what we have on the roster.

    Rumours & Offseason Nonsense 2024/25

    Our 4th line has been settled; Brandt - Davies - Duggan I’m not sure I want us to take a shot on Hermann on lines 2 or 3 personally - by all accounts we have been linked with players with more impressive CVs. I would rather Crandall & Barrow back ahead of taking a shot on Hermann.

    Cardiff Devils Confirmed Signings & Departures 2024/25

    What a signing!! That’s an awesome roster so far, letting our intentions be known, and building some momentum ahead of the season. You can tell the club has put a lot of work into acquiring a player like O’Brien and should take a lot of credit!!

    New challenge cup format

    I don’t think the new format solves any of the issues at all… The statement doesn’t state who gets to host the final either - if it’s still on a seedings basis then the only change will be combining the two groups and getting rid of the quarter finals. Some of the better games in the last few...

    Rumours & Offseason Nonsense 2024/25

    They’ve said new signing - so would Fournier count as a new signing? Perlini or MacDonald would be my guess - but I don’t think I’ve ever had one right!
