Cardiff Devils v Belfast Giants - Sun 6pm - Chat/Updates
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
I dont think its fair to say we got pushed around in our own barn tonight is really fair, if the devils responded to every piece of dirty play last night they would have ended up in the bin as much as belfast and with how dire they played in the first two periods we really didnt need that. I think it was Darnells job to stop what was going on because nothing the devils had to say would have made a difference. We had team toughness last year and look where that got us, i'd pick this years team over last years everyday of the week.

really? cause you know the stats say otherwise. Even with McMorrows massive 141PiM theres still a team above the giants in the PIM league......guess who?
ive heard alot of things said about McMorrow, most of them justified, but the guy actually oozes class, our last visit to your barn he spent a good hour after the game signing autographs etc while some of your players shunned anyone who asked for a autograph.
this just didnt happen the giants hadnt even got onto the ice while the puck sponsors pictures were being taken. I know we're the team you seem to hate this season justified or not but this sort of thing just makes you look desperate.
i think thats 1-0 voth, no arguments there, Voth in the box hurts you more than McMorrow in the box hurts us.
even i laughed, until i realised he almost spilled my beer!
because it was totally within our control? again i refer you to the point about even though you hate us doesnt mean every little thing we do is planned and calculated to inconvience you.
The 2 hour wait was long and cold, kudos to your off ice team for doing as much as they could to keep us entertained. The game i thought was quite entertaining, the result was disappointing but thats sport sometimes.

im afraid your wrong my friend, my nephew had a puck sponser and all the photo's where taken towards the end of the warm up and the giants where present and on the ice, and the actions of this clown Mcsorrow actualy scared him and a few other kids that where standing on the bench waiting their turn to have a picture, justifyed or not there is no excuse for the unprofessional act that mcsorrow carried out, even franny pointed out that the kids where standing on the bench and Mcmorrow didnt seem to care 1 bit, a true professional huh :roll:
Very classy proffesional player then Jacko. Sorry but everyone is correct, the photos happened at the warm up with the giants present. and Yes this incident happened. If that was a Devils player i wouldn't stick up for them for acting like that. You should be ashamed of having your logo on his chest. Ineffective waste of space who acts like that infront of children.
Shame really. Gives you a bad name.

I dont have the slightest problem with another team than mine, having a tougher fighter, the more the merrier is my take. But having a guy whos aim is just to fight anyone on the ice, from the toughest to the smallest, and will go to any lengths to get them to fight, then thats a total farce. Mcmorrow is just a Canadian version of Sharpe, except he takes up a import slot. This guy contributes naff all on the ice, what Belfast could do with is a mark 2 of Schulte.
What he did in the warm up is very bad, disgusting in fact, but in other ways he is a good guy when it comes to the fans. Like what he did at the previous belfast game and he did infact ask for a piece of paper of a fan again this time i believe and he hung round to sign autographs. Also, one of the belfast players, i think it may have been johnson or bateman but im not sure, gave a kid one of the pucks at the end of warm up. Maybe the devils need to take a leaf out of the giants book when it comes to this sort of thing.
Well if your around at the end of the next game come round by the penalty box and see what the Devils players do for my grandsons and many other kids at the end of every game as they have been doing each season. Also come to the Junior Devils training session every Tuesday and Wednesday and see what the players do then. What a STUPID post !!!!! :lol: :lol:
the devils were on the ice for a good 5 minutes before the giants were, and this is when i believed the pictures were taken. I thought this because the same 2 little girls who came and asked your announcers where to go cause they were sponsoring the puck, were standing round at the other side of the bench getting their photos taken.
I was standing around by the benches because one of our guys had brought me something from home. I was talking to our bench coach about the penalty shot call the night before.
If im wrong (and certainly it appears i am with soo many eye witnesses to the contrary) then i agree without question its disgusting behavior, from someone who does know better.
McMorrow is far from useless on the ice though. Yes he chasing down needless fights, and no hes not lighting up the points charts, but sometimes being the tough guy is about more than that, he fires some excellent hits against some of the smaller skilled players in the league which rattles them and makes them think twice before going into corners etc. And before anyone mentions Bribaer, yes he missed that one Bribaer seen him coming and was just too fast for him, but everyone misses hits, even voth has hit a few shadows in his time. Yes hes a goon, but he is a class above Sharpe IMO and we can afford the hit on the import place because we have 2 of the top 5 british netminders, so why not? I believe he offers more than he costs us.
A Schulte mkII would be nice, although its just never going to happen, players like schulte are kept in NA now, as there are less and less out and out goons every year (see McMorrow coming here)

Yes they were out before the Giants but the pics were taken at end of warm up not beginning - they clearly called the puck sponsors to the bench few mins from end. Think you are right to concede it seems to be the case !!
For me McMorrow - who I saw ice 5 times in first 2 periods (had to leave early .... or late whichever way you view it!!) so really would find it hard to call him a decent player - maybe he does more at home/other rinks. My view would be turn the constant baiting/chatter/wind up down and ice more and maybe he is a decent player !! he seriously isnt helping himself at moment in my view

Have to say that we were lucky, IMHO, to clinch that win. The Guys have been playing so well recently, I was shocked to see such scrappy, disorganised systems with poor passing and bad positioning. All teams at some time will produce poor performances but the Devils were extremely slow to step up in p1 and p2 and really, they should have been the team with the advantage this time, playing at home with only 1 match at the weekend.
Unlike the matches against Nottingham and Coventry, where the Guys seemed to have got the measure of those team systems so quickly, it almost appeared to be a repeat of many of last year's games.
Stevie Lyle was completely outstanding and kept the Devils in. One or two of the others like Tylor, Miller, Ben and G seemed to be playing with determination and trying to create chances.
I couldn't believe how bad the pp system worked when so far this season, it's been a triumph. Giants getting a short-handed goal reflected poorly on our pk system too. How ironic that it should be Hartwick who set up Latullippe for the winning goal when, to be honest, I actually thought both of them had produced a less than average performance up till then.
Matches against the Giants are always very close - the CC semis are going to be very tough against them.
The 2 points were ground out, thankfully, and if the Guys are going to really challenge, those home games HAVE to be won. They could have made it much easier for themselves - and I doubt G was very happy with that performance at all.
