Devils Vs Flames - CC - 13th Nov 21
- Thread starter James
- Start date
On my wander for the 2nd Period I was at the top of Block 14 - said gentleman and his friends were all clearly drunk, unmasked, and stood up dancing in every break in play (playing up to whichever of them was filming on their phone).
Part of me wanted the security guy to lay him out on the ice - rugby tackle style....

Wow at this point of today we were on page 9 of the flyers thread last week, fans were on the thread complaining about the loss, we win last night and we are on page 3 in the thread, come on fans lets get the comments they deserve after a win..well done Devils just what we needed going into prob the biggest game of the season tonight, lets get behind them..
It was his first game. He was in block 14, with a big group of lads.
He came over to 13 to act the big man and try to join in chants and take selfies.
Drunken bellend.
Disappointed that he managed to get so far onto the ice and amongst the team before anyone even came close to getting him out of there mind you.

Back on to the match itself:
The Devils did OK. It was encouraging for us to come back from 2 down but boy have we missed McNally. Just shows how we are missing someone who will go to the net regularly.
Checks were finished last night, the passing was better in places and the shots taken were closer and more varied. Still at times people need to pull the trigger, some seem too scared to try and rather pass even when in a decent position.
Last night there appeared to be more genuine opportunities for one-timers both on the PP and ES - with passes being properly weighted and to the correct side for the shooter - but again taking that extra touch or 2 allows the space created be closed down and the NM get a good sight of the puck.
That side looked like the Devils of a few weeks back prior to the recent slump - not perfect but a work in progress. I fear that if we turn in the same performance tonight we may get properly turned over. Whilst not the same number as previously we are still giving up too many chances on the rush and what are soft goals - McNulty's being a fine example last night.
I'd disagree that Kozun should start tonight. He's a very, very capable backup but Carruth is the clear number 1 for me.
Finally congrats to Richie on the 900 - was hoping for a goal to make it 100 EIHL goals as well!
Here's hoping this old fool is wrong and we get a win tonight and turn our fortunes around - DuPont hat trick anyone?
