Devils at mannheim

Really shocked at how many negative comments there were on here at the start of the thread before the more level-headed posters replied.
Last week we conceded early goals and the game was over. This time we tried to play a very defensive first period, it worked for a while but you make one mistake and a team this good will punish you.
2nd and 3rd periods I thought we had some impressive spells. Yes it was a heavy loss but to be honest I expected a lot worse.
With our lack of preseason and short bench I expected 3 or 4 heavy defeats and perhaps a couple of games where we kept it respectable. The fact we won a game means for me we’ve already over-achieved in this CHL campaign.

Absolutely correct 3 very bad mistakes resulted in 3 goals, in fairness they had a few come off the metalwork, but make mistakes against these teams and they bury the puck. The guys on the night left it all out on the ice, and you can’t ask for more than that, these games however will stand us in good stead and there’s a ton of positives to take from them, and the bonding will be invaluable a close knit team usually results in a winning team. When we won the Inaugral Superleague that team would have gone through a brick wall for each other, it’s a huge factor towards success, so another beauty to watch tonight and we wish the lads well. Then we get down to the knitty gritty and I for one can’t wait, So Let’s Go Devils, Let’s Go.
