Devils Vs Blaze - PO 1/4 Final - 9th April 23 - 18:00 FO

I could understand it kozun was really pissed off with being benched for the last few games.

Last few games bowns has prob had his best spell this season...kozun just needs to be ready for next weekend, if needed, if tonight's game is out of blaze reach by 3rd period put kozun in.

Feisty, penalty rich game in prospect! Looking forward to it.

 

[Pembo]

Yeah I just saw the leagues tweet, that's how I work it out, so we want Panthers to win so we avoid Belfast in the semis.

Does the curse of Nottingham away still apply if it’s playoff finals weekend?!?

It didn’t when we stuck 9 on them the other year in the semifinals

 

[Vogon]

Our powerplay. It's not great.

Looks like we'll be trying to ride out the lead from last night. A completely uninspiring first period from the devils. PP looking completely inept again.

A lot of things has left me scratching my head this year, but our powerplay being this bad for so long is top of the list!

 

[Eynonz]

There seems to be no plan with the Powerplay. Just skate around and try to jam it into the net.

 

[moggy#9]

When you have players who are seemingly incapable of passing accurately it becomes difficult to move the puck with speed. Add to that there's no one who will get into the dirty areas and you will inevitably struggle.

 

[ASHIPP]

Where is the net presence...Matthew Myers where are you?

 

[E.D.S.]

The worst team in almost a decade. Can’t exit the zone, can’t retain the puck, powerplay is woeful. All sat firmly at the coaches door.
We could easily lose this tonight. We don’t look like a scoring.

 

[moggy#9]

So, another awful period. Looks like we're trying to ride out the game on what we've got. At this point I really wouldn't be surprised to see the blaze force OT.

 

[Eynonz]

Not sure what batch was doing with the second goal.

Actually not sure what Louis was doing. Well out of position wandering off behind the net.

 

[matbur]

Batch not iced since that goal. Horrendous play.

These two games have been microcosm of our entire season.

The key to this is breaking down their goalie Rajna when Devils have a scoring chance. And, of course, accuracy of shooting helps.He's saving everything and seems to have every angle and inch of that goal covered. Have the Devils played against him before or has Holsa always been in goal for the Blaze this season?

Or fournier

To be fair, I don't think we've been making things hard for him. His rebound control and economy of movement has been very good though.

Rajya played last game down here he was awesome, blaze last in pk standings and devils can't score off 3 powerplays.. shambles, awful play batch for 2nd goal , no wonder been benched

 

[moggy#9]

This is so painful to watch.
