Devils @ Braehead - Saturday Feb 14th - Chat/Updates
- Thread starter Skippy
- Start date
Where hae we stated we are a championship team or that we have coach of the year??, as for goons I was in braehead for the game and smith is nothing but a goon because he sure as hell can't play hockey. He such a brave guy going after a total non fighter like Chris jones, he was so keen to go with batch tho.
Assuming Devils don't win the league, i'd prefer Sheffield to win it (god that hurts)
I honestly don't want Braehead to win it as they've played easier games this year against the weaker teams.
That's not having a go at Braehead, heck they can only play the cards they're dealt.
Also this whole stigma of "your team is full of goons" "clueless rubbish players" bla bla bla needs to stop. Embarrasing. Braehead are top of the league for a reason, whether you like that style of play or not, they still have to win games on a regular basis to be where they are.
Jeff Smith was clearly sent out to do a job on anyone that bit to his antics. Good on him, and good on the Devils for not biting.
He gives CJ a few shoves in the chest, hardly cross checks & on a protected area either way. At 3-0 down in a CRUCIAL game i'm sure we can forgive players for losing their temper.
If Devils can maintain 3rd place i'd be happy come the end of the season, and hopefully now ALL our attention is on stuffing Coventry in the CC on Wednesday.

Think we need to finish in at least 2nd Place as 3rd is likely to turn into 4th for the Playoffs as our Conference Winner could be someone other than Sheffield (who are currently 2nd.) No reason why we can't pursue 2nd or even 1st... We have Sheffield 3 Times in March, they will be crucial for our push for the Top 2!
Jeff Smith is a Goon, he apparently spat in Myers face during the game too which would explain Myers' reaction to Smith during the game!

This i like, If we can take points off Sheffield in those games then we're sitting pretty.
But works both ways, i'm sure both teams have identified these games as VITAL, and if we don't come away with the majority of the points then i fear we could slip to 4th/5th.
@hope, also agree with that, didn't factor in the conference rankings (which i think are a bit of a joke...)
Definite head butt! No wonder Marsh went for him, and Bowns! Interesting to see Fitz looking around for someone to dance with and when he finally meets up with Clarkson he loses interest. :RAWK
Not sure what Smith said to Myers that resulted in that cheap shot punch after Myers had taken a penalty for hooking after he had been hooked several times on that play by Smith! In fact Smith was trying it on with Martin in the first just before his goal, and later with Chris Jones. Likes the small guys then
Well done Devils on an amazing weekend.
Hope you've got something left in the legs for Wednesday as the Blaze look to be back in form - and I'm going up to watch! lol
I hope this isn't too positive a post?

Here's what I see on the highlights.
Smith makes a movement forward with his face and shoulders come up, like a spitting action. Myers reacts with a glove to the face and Smith goes down cheaply like he's been shot. Myers then makes a gesture to his mouth at ref. Not conclusive but something happened there, Myers not known for being so quick to react.
Frank makes two forward motions with his upper body to push Tyson back, looks like second one he makes head contact and Tyson grabs his leg to get his attention. Bowns has seen something as he also reacts. Let's be honest Tyson is handy but sparing with his fighting. He has stood up to Olson and Westgarth when they take liberties but does not drop the gloves lightly. He was still fuming after the linos split them up, something made him flip.
Lastly, Smith looking to fight anybody at the end regardless of them being a willing combatant or not. Cowardly, respect to Batch for putting him in his place, on his arse on the floor. I'd be more than happy for DoPs to announce that being #BatchSlapped was punishment enough so no further ban needed. And as for Clan fans applauding him off, bizarre.
All in all Braehead were put back in their box, any league win would be tainted by the conference system giving them so many games against teams found in bottom half of the table.

quite surprised at smiths actions, at hull he didnt resort to those tactics, wouldnt be surprised if finnerty ordered him to get on the ice and goon it up with one of the kids c.j. fair dos c.j. could have taken the bait and it all couldve kicked of leading to injuries or suspensions to our special team players. ok smith may have got banned but that be no great loss to the goon army ,imagine us losing hotham if he got involved with the 2 semi finals coming up, i think the league should look into finnertys comments before the game.
