I've waited a little while before actually posting this, but I'm increasingly leaving every game thinking I've wasted the best part of £20. I've always been a fan of Andrew Lord, but I'm now wondering if he even knows what devils hockey is all about? What we as fans expect from OUR team. I'm sick of being a nearly team because we have all the tools to be THE team.
Ohh and Lordo NEVER seems to have a plan B
I know you're not allowed to ever criticise on here without some jumped up fans flaming you for it but let's face it the wins that we've ground out have been papering over the cracks. YES we are top of the league and YES we are winning, but am I being entertained and getting my moneys worth every time I pay for a ticket? NO
For a team with so many big tough bodies we don't half love playing non contact. There have been so many occasions this year where physical teams have bullied us, and teams we should be bullying and throwing off their game have been left alone to do their thing. You then pay triple figures for a 4th line fighter who doesn't fight, barely play him and carry on playing like a bunch of pussies. Great business. Just imagine the insane top line player you could get in on his wages - the type who would change games.
There also seems to be a bit of a jobs for the boys thing going on because you can't honestly say Morrissette's performances of late are deserving of 1st line/PP/Ice time. Also we all know that there's multiple players who aren't delivering what's expected of them but what do we do? play them every week and act like nothing is bothering us. I think it's time to get tough because a couple of underperforming players is the difference between winning the league and coming 2nd. Remember what 2 weeks notice did to Sylvain Deschatelets?
This team promised so much at the start of the season, but I'm yet to see them perform to the heights I thought they could.
