Personally i think last night was a pointless game all round. Coventry charging £15 a head too watch a challenge game, barely a third full arena, no atmosphere, hence nothing really happening on the ice. Perfect opportunity to lower the prices, try and attract some new fans, but hey, why am i giving Coventry any advice. At least the Devils appear to think of there fans during these difficult financial times.
Onto the game, Devils really never turned up, they didnt appear too want the contact, it seemed as though it was just another 60 minutes of fitness work, and the result never mattered.
This isn't really fair to the 50-60 devils fans who made the journey in the midweek too support the team, who would have been fair too expect a little bit of fight.
I'd heard such great things about Miller after Saturday night, but don't think he did himself justice last night, hope he isn't one of these players who has one great game followed by a mediocre one, hope he is a Mr consistent.
Smith and Birbraer offered very little, hopefully time together will improve.
Voth didn't really look that interested.
Hartwick and Jarvis did ok, Adams was left chasing shadows at times playing on 'D' which has to be a concern.
I thought the standout player was Richardson, he looks a solid all round player who can offer a lot to the Devils jersey, and also the young brits, who whilst being maybe a little light put themselves about all night, chased hard and battled with all the Coventry players all evening.
And on a final note, i didn't think much of the Coventry team either, certainly no better than there team of last season.
