To me Lord came across as being a bit fed up. Still find it surprising that he has just learnt a few things concerning player management, as a player he must surely have been on a team in a dip and observed how a coach deals with it.
Todd wants him in the line up, this season sure, but something needs to be addressed coaching wise.

Electro, why is that when we win convincingly it is due to the opposition being poor yet when we lose convincingly it is down to Lord being out-coached?
I think we need to give credit to Lord for making the tough decision in dropping Doucet and for making the lines the way they are. The chemistry among the lines at the moment is the best I've seen this season and that's down to the coach.
Before this weekend we lost 3 games in the last 5, all of which at home and we turned it around this weekend due to being well drilled in defence and having these new lines. I think, considering we all realised we were in a slump of form, we've turned it around quite quickly and effectively.

The general consensus is that Nottingham didn't turn up. The general consensus is some of the losses can be attributed to the coaching.
Dropping poor performing players or rather Lords reluctance too should be a relatively easy decision.
The jury for me is out concerning any turn around.

How about Nottingham didn't turn up because we didn't let them turn up due to how well coached and drilled we were.
And you speak of reluctance to drop players, players have been carrying injuries and those players duly rested. We finally have a fully fit roster and the necessary drop was made. I'd much prefer to have an under performing player ice than a 50 or 60% fit player for fear of causing further injury..

Of course, our excellent performance is down to Nottingham not turning up. Nothing to do with good line chemistry, game management, individual performances, a good game plan, a good week of coaching, shift in defensive strategy. No of course not, Electro. Panthers were crap and that's only the reason we won. Lord hasn't got a clue and should have learnt all he needs to know well before only his third year of coaching. The fact he doesn't know everything already, like you appear to, probably means he isn't man for the job. I mean ready made coaches just happen right? And a bitter bloke behind a keyboard knows exactly what players learn to prepare them for management over their careers, despite never being near a hockey team.
The way the Devils played against the Panthers, they would have beaten both Steelers and Giants, were Panthers at full strength no, but it wasn't about them, it was about how really good we were that night, Jesus Electro lighten up, your only here once mate, this also is no rehearsal, it's gone in a heartbeat get a smile on your face, you don't see many smiles in shrouds.
I think electros comments are harsh and don't do the team justice. However, in fairness, we were talking prior to the game, how Panthers had been suffering , and Losing, since their euro comp exploits. Add to this the fact they were missing 3 or 4 imports.
I think Saturday was a good time to play them.
In all honesty I was more concerned about Sunday's game.

I'm sorry if l judged the performance of the Panthers differently, it's no biggie, certainly has no influence on my attitude towards life, sorry, it's a hobby, yes I'd like to return to the days I've experienced in our early years.

Indeed...that is sport! I didn't say it happened every time. However it seems to some that when the Devils win it is not down to
being the better team....moreover it is because we happened to be playing a team that decided not to turn up.
"Lies...damned lies and statistics" Used to explain poor arguments usually

As I say, Saturday was a good time to play the Panthers.
