That was an impressive performance. Bit of a worry that both our starting netminders failed to finish their respective games. Nothing too serious hopefully.

Imagine going all that way at great expense to have your enjoyment ruined by that “moron with the megaphone”. I bet he was topless at the end too. Embarrassing. Good win though!

The DOPS procedure this year was agreed/decided by the teams but it is not fit for purpose. The lack of any explanations for incidents like this is a joke really, and discredits not only the process but also the league. Disciplinary measures should be completely independent. There is too much...

Well I think we saw our main man come to the fore this evening. Reid Duke is the one player that has the high end skillset along with the grit, energy and bite to his play that can turn a game on its head. He was superb tonight. A very good performance all round from the team and I for one hope...

There’s absolutely no way the Devils are prioritising the Conti Cup over the league. Maybe the reality is the players are not quite good enough or coached well enough? Not sure. But it’s not through a lack of effort, from what I’ve seen anyway, and they deserve some credit for that.

Absolutely agree. I enjoyed the game last night and as long as the players are giving their all, I don’t have a problem whether we win or lose. Their effort levels were there and that‘s all you can ask for really. Now, if they are not trying, that’s a different kettle of fish and I’ll be the...

Well it did matter, they scored!

It was a pretty good game tonight. That Blaze team are no pushovers and I thought they worked really hard and deserved the win. Disappointed that we pulled the goalie so early when we had a full 2 minutes of 5 on 4 ahead of us at the end of the game. That early empty netter killed it stone dead...

There ain’t no superstars in this league despite the hero worship bestowed on them by some!

I was hoping for a reaction and I think there would have been if Ulett had started any nonsense last night, but I thought he was very quiet. And they didn‘t go after Barrow again, so the 2 points was more important.

Never in a million years. Ever considered a career in officiating? You’d fit right in with that lot.

I’ve seen some poor officiating this season but that takes the biscuit tonight. They are actually bringing the UK game into disrepute. Ulett was quiet throughout but in his one temper tantrum, he whacks a stick that‘s lying on the ice, which then flies at head height and hits Bowns, right in...

We weren’t title challengers in WNIR or the BBT? Really?!

Sort him out as soon as he steps on the ice, and repeat! I want to win the game but there needs to be a response. And if they go after Barrow again, target their skilled guys relentlessly.

Well I think it’s a fantastic achievement for the Steelers and British ice hockey - and good luck to them. It adds to the reputation and credibility of the EIHL, which can only be a good thing and may open the competition up to more teams from the UK in future years (although the CHL does appear...
