If that’s the case, that’s poor from management. You should pick your form players. An on paper team never transpires to be what it actually is (don’t we know it!). If that’s the case and management already have their minds made up that’s real poor.

I think they’re both as good as one another. yes Bowns has won a lot, but there’s a lot more stability in British hockey and the ability to stay at a successful team than there is in America and moving into Europe. Hard to compare the 2 really; why not just be grateful to have both?

What have you heard?

I never want to be that guy, but the longer this goes on the more it does raise serious questions. Not questioning Bownsy or tbh Burman either who is a very good EIHL netty in his own right but to leave Carruth out not even on the bench is strange. It’s knock out hockey, leave the ego, issue...

Shinkaruk is too and Donaghey I think I heard.

I have a feeling Mosey is leaving. Retired from GB so I’m thinking he’s going to be playing in another country and won’t be getting back for GB games.

You want a competitive team don’t you? Club need to maximise revenue as best they can to compete with arena teams.

People say this but I really don’t think the Devils are that short sighted to base a contract on a few games in March when they have all the data and knowledge from the whole season.

Loads saying about Crandall and wanting him back…I remember this forum many were calling for his head and saying he had to go. My point is, we don’t see what’s going on the majority of the time behind closed doors - obviously what we know helps us with our judgement but I guess I’m just saying...

the statement literally says suspended for his behaviour towards a panthers fan. Don’t stir the pot anymore.

Bit of a joke if everything said is true. Just think it’s the easy option for the Devils - chances are Bowns was going to play the weekend fixtures anyway and we’ve got Taz to back up so we won’t be in a drastically worse position suspending him over the weekend (assuming that’s all it is).

Your pinnacle fixtures should be prime times - in that sense it’s quite damning that the league see fit that a midweek day is adequate.

Before the Giants second leg against Nottingham I did have a look how much it would be and at the time it was £90 return!!

Sorry I was suggesting at EIHL level you’re not going to get someone who is a 60 pointer whilst also being a really solid d-man too. You’ll be one or the other at this level, otherwise you’ll be playing at a higher level. As you say, it’s about what you put together and getting that balance...

It’s kind of the point I was going after - we’re looking at pure points production in those stats. There’s the other side which is giving loose passes or lack of defensive awareness. But as we were looking at points only, I felt the Crawford point was apt. The reality is this is the EIHL - if...

Interesting how we’re now talking about how many points are needed from D, yet last season many were happy to see the back of Crawford despite being a 50-60 pointer on his own. The reality is the injuries will be massively disruptive as it’s hard to have settled lines when every other week...

Same - thought it was more edgy and built an atmosphere. Good to see in Fox’s interview he acknowledged how if the crowd gets behind Devils in this building it can swing things.

When we got there last night I said to who I was with, we need the first goal otherwise it’ll be a flat night. In fairness, starting with Block 13 the whole arena got going making a brilliant atmosphere and as soon as you felt that you knew the result was only going one way. Tricky one on a...

We can be such an entitled and toxic fanbase at times reading this forum. Many good valid points made but then others just spouting the same old - we’re not entitled to win, no team is entitled to win. Just look at any other team sport; most go through slumps in a long season! Saying the league...

I think I remember Todd saying about the last time Devils hosted the CC that the Devils were responsible for everything as soon as the team lands/arrives so imagine all transfers to and from hotel, etc. would be the Devils responsibility and Grenoble’s bus is just parked up somewhere.
