Storm Vs Devils - League - 11th Feb 24 - FO 17:30

[Chris]

A Sunday night in Altrincham, what better way to spend the weekend...



League table correct as of 7th Feb, but despite being in 7th the Storm have picked up some decent results this season and aren't a pushover, especially when faced with a Devils team potentially heavily impacted by the Olympic Qualifers! But, we head up to the slightly more metallic version of the BBT and try to pick up another 2 points...

Could be a banana skin this one, especially knowing Pete won't be on the bench this time either.

Franny will sort it, the seasons kicked off since he been on the bench, looking for anything from this game OT for me..sure mr wilde will sort that out..

 

[E.D.S.]

Happily take a point here. I don’t care how we do it.

No Harewood, Norton, and Chad...wardell replaces Norton in goal backup. Other than that .Good to go.

Good to go!
Franny as coach, Todd as assistant - interesting dynamic

Very scrappy opening 10 minutes. Neither team have got going

1-0 Devils. Crandall with a nice feed for Alderson on the backdoor who makes no mistake

Wall with a good save to deny Martan on the breakaway. 5 minutes left in the 1st

 

[The_Stick_]

2-0 Devils. Martin with a snipe in the slot on the PP. Assist goes to Sanford

Comfortable so far in a subdued Storm Shelter. Crandall running the show as ever and Martin looking much closer to his best. It’s the usual frantic pace here but Devils controlling the game effectively

 

[Wannabe2]

Winning now 3`-1

 

[The_Stick_]

3-0 Devils. Goal under review for potential kick. Shot from blue line. Looked a tip on initial footage

 

[Wannabe2]

Yes 3-0 now sorry.

 

[The_Stick_]

Goal not awarded. Remains 2-0. On replay looked a kick so good call for me

 

[The_Stick_]

Good sequence of saves by Wall to prevent a Storm goal. 13.13 left in 2nd

 

[The_Stick_]

PP for Storm as Busch heads to the box for delay of game.

 

[The_Stick_]

Devils called for too many men. 5-3 for the Storm for around a minute

 

[The_Stick_]

Devils return to 4 men
