Hit the post again 2.27 to go on the PP

 

[Diablo3]

There is a reason our PP is at 20% it is aweful back to 5 on 5

I’d give Duggan, Davies and Brandt a punt at the powerplay at this point. It’s just not happening.

 

[Diablo3]

4-3 Devils Cox from Ully 10 to go

 

[Diablo3]

We had a great shout for a goal then but no to be 7 to go

Last 5 mins

Last 2 minutes we are just trying to see it out

That’s a character win. Very good stuff

 

[Diablo3]

Devils Win 4 -3 one hell of a comeback after that first period. Well done guys

Fair play that’s a great win. 3-1 down after one and on the PK to start the second. At that stage I feared the tie could be over tonight.

Powerplay still a concern. Hasn’t been consistently good since Skalde was here.

 

[AJ73]

Big character win! Would’ve been easy after the first to let the game drift away - particularly with the missing players and recent schedule.

Need players back for the weekend though, let’s hope they rest up quickly!

 

[ASHIPP]

A really gutsy comeback. Well done Devils. A real chance now next week.
The punishing schedule will be causing fatigue. Games are being ground out, getting the required result is not easy. Hope the Guys use their down time to rest and relax properly.

Anyone got a video of the hit?

 

[Diablo3]

What is of concern is we have three top forwards out when we have a tough schedule. Let's hope the injuries are not too bad

 

[tim78]

Did Arneil ice tonight?

The Devils do look tired which is not surprising. This schedule is outrageous.

That was hard work but a one goal lead is good coming into the home leg against a decent Clan team. Lots of line chopping lately (which I assume is due to injuries) has made things difficult.

They need some rest and a full roster and then they will be ready to win some silverware.

This team is good but powerplay and discipline could cost us. To be fair I think some of the penalties are coming from tiredness rather than goonality (is that a word?).

I also think we must practice hitting the post. So many wonderfully worked attacks end with a ping.

 

[Slartibartfast]

Did Arneil ice tonight?

No. Might be his punishment for missing those 2 empty netters

 

[Devil94]

A great first leg, especially with the players missing.
I would have been confident with a one or two goal deficit though, I feel like some of our great performances over the years have been when we know we're behind and need to score. Hopefully complacency won't set it now we're ahead, I'm sure PR won't allow that.
