Devils v Blaze - 01/03 @ 7:00pm - League - Chat/Updates
- Thread starter Chris
- Start date
Was there a promotion on tickets last night? One of the biggest crowds of the season and I haven't seen a queue like that outside just before face off for a long time. Bit surprised they didn't delay face off, hope they all got inside for the start.
Especially as the 1st period was arguably our best of the season. We hit everything in sight, never let the Blaze settle and deservedly went 3-0 ahead.
Unfortunately we started to tire and our injury and suspension issues probably cost us the win, made worse by Jake seemingly pick up an injury too.
One player who really did impress me was CJ. I thought he was outstanding last night in what was possibly his best ever performance.
It was another point dropped though and unless we can get everyone back fully fit I fear we will miss out on the playoffs, especially as there are a couple of imports on our roster who aren't good enough for this level.

Unfortunately Markus is showing the difference in his experience level and that of other import players in the team. Club had an opportunity to keep fiesty Jaroslav Cesky from Manchester Phoenix a few weeks ago....the club should have kept him. He plays now for Edinburgh.
Anyone playing on Tomas Kurka's or Mac's lines needs to be able to give those top guys f.ll support. Gipters also v average performance last night and others too.
Frustrating for Whis ....he can only ice the players available to him. All of whom were recruited by other people.
Full credit to our all British line of CJ, Luke and Adam. Did a top job keeping Blaze in their own end on their shifts and battling to retain the puck.

That was a point lost which we really can't afford to be doing. However a number of players were back last night for their first game in a while, for whatever reason, & so were probably struggling a bit. CJ & Luke are must signs for me for next season. Nothing of either of them but they seem fearless.
A number of people were claiming that last night but the replay I saw showed that the puck hit the inside of the post & came back out WITHOUT crossing the line.
