Shoot me down in flames If u want but in my opinion there ar only two refs worthy of the orange armbands and they are Matt Thompson and Dean Smith. Both call what they have to and let the game flow unlike whistle happy Hicks or Broadway Tom.
Darnell seems to have taken over as our target hate...
I have to agree with Finny! No hell hasnt frozen over its just doesnt happen often lol.
I think we peaked physicallly mentally ad emotionally with the Challenge Cup win. after that we managed just 4 victories in the subsequent 8 games. Also Culligans injury was bad for us in terms of timing...
I understand the webcast was provided by the Elite League not the Steelers. It was also available on IH UK website too. As for availability for DVD format, I guess Wannabe is your man to ask. I dont know whether the Red Army Gang are working on making a DVD available as we speak. I would imagine...
Re: Challenge Cup Final - Devils Vs Steelers - VICTORY! VICT
I hope they will parade the cup around the rink before the game next sunday against Sheffield, just to throw them off their stride. and then again during of the period breaks just to rub it in!!!!
Thanx to the amazing generosity of one of my Devils friends I was able to watch the Devils Win the Challenge Cup on the webcast!!!! Thanks mate, you know who you are!!!!!
unfortunately i am not in work at the moment so dont have the £10 to spare. Had i been able to afford to go up on the bus i'd be there now! Hope you enjoy the webcast though Clairey.
£10 is a bit steep for a webcast! Good old MNL will have my patronage and even BBC Radio Sheffield, if i can stand the brummie warblings of a certain Steeler supporter and so called impartial commentator.
Re: Devils Vs Dundee Stars - Saturday March 7th - Chat/ Upda
great win great performance and the atmosphere in the BBT was amazing. The only downside was a poor bloke who had a kid puke over him and the Planet Ice staff member had the unenviable clean up job.
That doesnt mean to say it wont be another Steeler supporter! The Panthers announcer can be relied upon to be the most neutral as he probably dislikes both participants equally but would he want to do it!
Totally Agree!
+1
He lets the game flow and calls what he has to. Whilst he might have the odd 'off' game once in a while, he is generally the best and most neutral of all the refs, plus he doesnt want to be the centre of attention unlike some stripeys I could mention!!!!
Id say Smith...
