Devils Vs Blue Fox - Conti Cup Final - 14th Jan 24 - FO 19:00

[NathanG]

Am I right in saying that if we finish second, there's a chance we could get the CHL spot, if there's one on offer this year.

The Kazak team won't be able to enter it due to the logistics

Just looked it up. Belfast hosted it in 2018-19 and came second. The Kazak team couldn't enter so the CHL board offered it to Belfast. They'd won the league that year anyway so we were offered it as league runner up.

Arniel and ully standouts this weekend,...that time of year contracts drawn up for next season... just saying

That was when Continental cup winners were guaranteed CHL spot. I don't believe that's the case anymore

Both players have been giving 110% this weekend, fair play.

let's go Riley Brandt, lets go Riley Brandt, the human wrecking ball (some good hits there)

 

[Eynonz]

These refs have effectively killed this game.

What’s happened?

 

[Eynonz]

What’s happened?

No consistency, giving soft calls against the Devils but not doing the same for Herning.

 

[NathanG]

Goal under review on the buzzer

 

[Eynonz]

No goal.

 

[NathanG]

Third place again. Won one lost two.

 

[Vogon]

Entertaining games at least, but does seem the season is only going to equal du pont's

 

[moggy#9]

Well that was disappointing, but not really surprising. The devils were sloppy from the start, and once we were in the third period looked bereft of ideas.

I guess you reap what you sow. We again looked too lightweight and unwilling to drive the net. There are some players on this team who seem to contribute virtually nothing.

 

[Wannabe2]

Very good game,well entertaining fast, skillful, and physical. Why cant we play like this in the league.

 

[tim78]

Thought all in all 2 of 3 games were superbly entertaining.

Batch, Crawford and Mosey stood well in D. Arneil has been a blast to watch and top form.
Joey and Brandt upfront together reminded me of lord and joey, hope it continues a bit (add in Sanford).
Alderson and Busch. stepped up with some decent physical play.

I guess it's down to the drive of tournament hockey. That said we lost 2 out of 3 games.

 

[E.D.S.]

That really was entertaining. I understand some peoples frustration but for me, if you measure the performance of the team we have and not the team we want, it’s not a bad return. Very entertaining weekend. I think Moggy said we could be playing Dundee or Coventry. Credit to the Devils Org for putting their hand up to enter and then to host the tournament.
Hard luck lads.

Can’t fault the entertainment of the weekend

But Devils revert to type, can’t clear the zone, power play absolutely useless and some woeful passing.

That being said was one of the worst officiating displays I’ve ever seen, which considering we watch EIHL refs every week, truly is saying something.

 

[jodysstillagirlsname]

They put in the effort and chased to the final buzzer, can't ask for more, if only that effort had been put into some league games things would be looking better. For entertainment, we got our money's worth this weekend
